Cossus

[Prince Odysseus]

Name: Hùisdean Fergus Kvanah (Gaelic Name), Cossus (Name given to him by Roman captors)
Age: 17
Occupation: Slave
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Brown
Skin: White, not olive

Personality: Huisdean can only be described as a being of circumstance. While he resents his Roman captors, he recognizes their technology as superior to that of his own tribe's. After being paraded through the streets of Rome, he witnesses first hand the unifiying forces that have turned Rome into the super power that it is today. Initially cowed by the granduer and glory that is Rome, he began to observe the Romans at work in the city, the masonry, the metallurgy, and the trade that causes to this day the city to flourish. He is a man who has survived to such an advanced age (for a man living in the wildnerness) by careful observation and rapid, sometimes emotional, calculation; that calculating coldness, a necessary part of all beings who know the price of sacrifice, helped several members of his tribe escape into the untamed forests of his Gaelic homeland. While they escaped, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the village, with fire, the tribesmen's only technology, around him. His calmness somehow sobered the Roman desire for blood, and the legion simply looted his village, taking him and those that remained captive . Now with his tribe broken by the overlords of Rome, he has lost all worldly ambition, and simply seeks to live the life forced upon him as best he can.


Biography: Currently a WIP. Essentially, he was captured during the recent incursion into Gaul or perhaps I will wait until a Roman arrives at the heart of the Seine.
