Physical Description

Artorius is heterochromic, having an ice-blue left eye and a molten-gold right eye. A scar that divides his right brow in half and moves diagonally across his face over the top of the bridge of his nose to the top of his left cheek bone, makes his face a hard one to forget. As a rule, he keeps his dark chocolate brown hair shaggy in the front so that his bangs end up covering one of his eyes from view.

Despite his lean frame, Artorius has a muscular build and is not ashamed to prove it in a fight. Overall, his body is of a medium tan, weathered by his time spent out of doors. His hands are not those of a noble, they are rough from manual labor.

Personality

He is a very cynical man. Every man can be bought; every man has an incentive and ulterior motive, in his mind. Some of this comes from experience, although much of it has to do with the fact that Artorius himself is this way. He is used to getting what he wants through manipulation and on the very rare occasion, force. 

He prefers to stray away from causing in-exuberant amounts of violence simply because he is too lazy to actually follow through with it all. Artorius is a massive risk-taker however; if there is a chance to win something then he is in. Much of his money has been lost and re-won due to his gambling addiction.

Artorius carries a very flippant, devil-may-care attitude about him. Everyone and everything is a bother to him. He likes to keep to himself, taking what he desires, uncaring of what the consequences may be. The only one that matters is himself, everyone else can find their own way.

History

Born into a comfortable, financially-stable home, Artorius grew up without serious hardship. There was the occasional nuisance but nothing worth of long and serious discussion. As a young adult, he joined the Connlaothian army as a swordsman. There he would meet the man he would come to see as his friend and later down the road of time, a traitor.

Artorius and Levester became an inseparable pair, always seen frequenting pubs or sparring side-by-side. Much to Artorius' parents' displeasure the pair were prone to getting into small brawls and squabbles wherever they went. His mother's threat was that it was a wonder he was still permitted to be a soldier what with his wily ways.

The two men shared everything together, drinks, boons, bedmates, and on the cold, lonely nights far off on the borders, a bed.The arrangement worked for them both right until Artorius first fell in love. Then everything changed.

Brie was the belle of the town, an unmatched beauty who captured the rugged soldier's heart the moment their eyes met. Artorius found himself at a loss as to what to do once he met Brie. Their encounters were always awkward and never as he planned them even with or maybe because of Levester's assistance.

The proposal was such a comical disaster that Levester would later jest that it was a miracle Brie ever said yes at all. But, yes she did say and the two were in a state of pre-marriage bliss on the home-front while the boys continued their own relations away from it.

The breaking point came though when Artorius arrived to surprise Brie only to be surprised himself with both his fiance and his best friend tangled in the sheets together. Words could not describe his sense of betrayal and heartache. He stormed up, speaking to neither of them, always avoiding Brie at all costs.

A fight broke out between the boys that resulted in Levester as the loser of the brawl but otherwise the friendship was effectively rent in two. They still fought side-by-side but there was always a tension between the two. Artorius wanted nothing to do with either of his lovers.

In an insurgence, Levester was killed while fighting a Mage. Artorius fled from his duty after attending the funeral and demanding the return of his ring from a weeping Brie. He has never returned to Connlaoth, nor has any intention of doing so. He is an outlaw for defecting but, it suits him. He has forever been hardened by the betrayal of his loved ones and now sees the world through jaded eyes, always searching for the first signs of selfish greed in others.
