History
Deiyas hails the island of Kothas as his homeland, though he has traveled far from there during his adventures. Raised in the militant lifestyle common to minotaurs, Deiyas was fortunate to have been born into a wealthy family, his father a feared and respected commander. Deiyas was the middle born of 3 sons, and thusly was not to inherit his parents wealth. To prove himself, Deiyas fought to raise himself through the ranks and become a strong leader. Unfortunately, one does not rise above others without facing opposition, and a jealous rival worked to shame Deiyas in the eyes of his superiors. In order to overcome these accusations of cowardice, Deiyas agreed to a dangerous mission to scout the edges of Malystryx's realm. His 2 brothers felt obligated to join the expedition to protect the family's reputation. All went well as the ship sailed its way along the coast of the Desolation, until one day the expedition fell under attack by Malystryx. As she breathed her flames down, Deiyas was fortunate enough to leap overboard as the flammable beverages in the hold ignited and exploded. The sound of the explosion and the Red's awful roar forever damaged Deiyas' hearing and he lives with a constant ringing in his ears. Also, some of the flames did sear his skin, and while these wounds did heal and leave no noticeable scarring, he now finds that he doesn't experience much pain when getting wounded. Both his brothers died in the attack and it was many months before Deiyas could find a way home after washing up on shore. Upon returning to Kothas, he found his parents had also died during his absence. His rival had also grown strong with support and so rather than face overwhelming odds, Deiyas chose to leave his homeland and set out with those who were still loyal to him.

Game Information
Deiyas suffers from two diminished senses, hearing and touch. As a minotaur, he receives an automatic trump to any nautical actions. Presence actions with others are never trump, unless they are to threaten or bully, in which case they are auto trump. His role as a Warlord gives Deiyas an auto trump to presence when giving commands/orders to others. He also receives as a benefit of this role an automatic trump to combat actions when leading troops in battle or when facing multiple opponents. As a disadvantage of the Warlord role, if Deiyas leads a group into battle, they all suffer instant morale failure if he is defeated (knocked unconcious, killed, or retreats). Another aspect of the Warlord role is that there is always some kind of opposition from an enemy force (such as another warring clan). Warlords also recieve no trump bonuses when using mystic spheres.

Appearance
Deiyas is an imposing figure, standing at almost 7 and a half feet tall, and weighing over 400 pounds. His eyes are a deep shade of green and his fur/hair is a reddish hue with scattered patches of black.
