Antaeus Aurelius

Antaeus Aurelius is a player character in the Western Isles, an Earth Genasi Paladin of the Ancients.

Physical Description
Antaeus's hair is neat and black and reminiscent of coal, his skin is a deep earthy brown with fissures and cracks that emanate a faint golden light.

He most often wears armor of gleaming, a set of scale mail with a bright brassy patina that almost makes it shine gold in the light, completed by his helm that is adorned with metal antlers. His metal shield and hammer are made to match his armor as closely as possible, with the former also emblazoned with his holy symbol, a Grand Tree sprouting from the open palm of a gentle hand.

Scars

 * Missing an eye as a result of dying and being resurrected during an avalanche.

Shared Rumors

 * Two Isles within a chasm, one hides a vault of treasure, and the other a key.

Notable Items

 * A set of Gleaming Scale Mail he arrived with.
 * Breastplate of the Sixth Tower
 * Maul of Smiting
 * Golden Apex Knife that gives advantages against charms and other influences.
 * A Ring of Water Walking

Backstory
By his own word he hails from within the northern hills of the Empire, a town called Essalanter. Though he was raised in majority within the nearby forest sacred to his god. Little else is known at this time.

Relationships

 * Antaeus seems to hold a more positive initial relationship with Crimson than most other people seem to have had with Crimson, often referring to them as the "Earth Child" or "Firesoul".
 * Antaeus once had a positive relationship with Wivaun, but during the events leading up to Wivaun leaving the Last Chance Antaeus and him seemed to but heads repeatedly.
 * Cassandra and Antaeus have had more than one argument as a result of their two drastically different views on life. Cassandra sees Antaeus mostly as a fool of blind faith, where as Antaeus sees holding onto faith as a necessary part of life.
 * Ever since the events of Sun's Bounty Antaeus has held a great deal of resentment and animosity towards Kay, disapproving of his actions and shows of faith to the dragons as they burned it to the ground. Since then Antaeus has chided him and made several references to his young age as a way to speak down to him.

Trivia

 * Some of Antaeus's behavior within the taproom suggests he may be unable to, or at least have great difficulty with, reading common.
