Daurus Jessex
Daurus Jessex, Legate of the Holy Arms
Daurus Jessex, Legate of the Holy Arms
Age: 30
Religion and Language: Dissenter Iesinorene, and a Meshtuu speaker, also fluent in spoken Amorean.
Faction Loyalty: The Blessed Isles
Alignment: Loyal first and foremost to the Episcopos.
Profession: Legate of the Blessed Arms, within the Holy Household of the Episcopate.
Appearance: A visiting ambassador once referred to Jessex as "a brute." Square jaw, short cropped hair, and a flat face.
Personality: Daurus Jessex isn't very talkative. Generally reserved, but with an explosive, violent tendency. He is very religious, and somewhat superstitious.
History: Abandoned as a young child, Daurus Jessex grew up on the streets of Meshuthai as part of a youth gang.
Working days at the city's river docks, Daurus Jessex found himself frequently embroiled in battles between the city's criminal gangs. During his teens, Daurus developed a reputation as an enforcer for the Quadriga, one of the most powerful dock gangs.
At 17, Daurus was involved in a battle between the gangs which left him unusually shaken. Withdrawing from his life on the docks, he sought the council of an arbiter.
The faith had use for an enforcer itself, and Daurus began a commitment to the Parabalani the next day. When the Empire fell three years later, his unit's defection to the dissenter cause proved crucial.
Now, Daurus Jessex is one of the two key men supporting the Episcopate. His Parabalani, serving under the direct authority of Sofiya Maurenos, have become a military order of over 25,000 guarding the Episcopate, controlling the streets, and increasingly enforcing religious law.
Strengths/Weaknesses Jessex is a moderately-skilled general with a focus on small scale/individual combat.
Strengths: Daurus Jessex has connections from his former life with the seedy underbelly of the Blessed Isles. He's also physically strong, and resilient, with the scars to prove it.
Weaknesses: Darus Jessex is illiterate, and is rumored to have a mistress.
Likes: A rough night, and a strong hangover.
Dislikes: Threats to his tribe, however he is defining it.
Weapons: Swords and clubs.
Armor: Daurus Jessex is used to fighting in no or light armor, since he is primarily accustomed to close-proximity, one-on-one, and urban fighting. But he does possess a ceremonial suit of Amoraean armor which once belonged to the last governor.
