Keleros the Mage

History and Appearance

Raised by priests, Keleros has never known who his family are. To a Dymerian, to be kinless is a terrible burden, since if he dies there will be no-one to sing the death songs for him or to perform the rituals of the righteous dead to ensure his rebirth. Nonetheless, despite their willingness, he refused to be adopted by the priests who raised him, setting out into the world instead to try to find his parents. The only clue he has is a golden ring with a house seal on it - a gift that was left with him as foundling. His travels have carried him from the frozen steppes of the Khargaz, to the steaming swamps of the Great Rift. One memento of the latter visit is the undying emnity of the Kasserim due to the destruction of one of their hidden shrines.

In appearance, Keleros is a man in the prime of health with long blonde hair and large thoughtful grey eyes. His nose is perhaps a little more aquiline than he might wish. He dresses mostly in earth-toned clothing as befits his calling and is by and large quietly spoken, though extremely determined-seeming.
