Keiros has lived in Gem his entire life and has only left it once. That one time was six months ago, when his only relative, his Uncle Olon, a caravan guard took him on one of the caravans.
Three days into the trip the caravan was attacked by bandits, killing all but Keiros who fled at his uncle's urging and a Guild Factor.
Feeling guilty for abandoning his uncle to die, Keiros wandered the desert, accepting his impending death after two days of now food and water.
When the sun began to set he collapsed to the ground, intending to wait there for death. Instead he met Meras, that dog sized demonic spider, who offered him a deal.
Discover what happened to the Mighty Zeleros six weeks before and he would receive power beyond his wildest dream. With no other options Keiros accepted, emerging from his chrysalis three days later and making his way back to Gem.
There he set out his goals, first vanquishing the bandits that had killed his Uncle, then going out of his way to earn renown in the city, primarily through the fighting rings but also by helping those who had power and required discrete assistance.
He has since discovered that the attack on the caravan was set up by the same Factor who had also survived it, earning the enmity of Staid Mantis after calling him out in public. Staid's reputation was damaged but he suffered no punishment due to Keiros' lack of evidence.
Keiros stands 7ft tall with orange eyes and black hair. His skin is heavily tanned and he usually wears a dark red cloak over a grey buff jacket. He openly carries his grimcleaver on his back and a knife on his belt. He wears sturdy boots and hides a knife in one.
Character Sheet:
Zeleros, Constellation of Iron, Outcast Emperor, Wanderer of the Cosmos
“I walk where I wish, seeking the truth and vanquishing those that seek to cage me.”
Associations: The starry sky, iron, red, grey
Purview: Travel, Discovery, Independence, Space/Stars, Determination, Iron
First Zeleros Excellency, Essence Overwhelming:
The Constellation of Iron is mighty and absolute. It is resolute when faced with opposition, never breaking and weathering the crushing blows of its opponents. It was forged in the flames of a thousand stars and endures the torment of an earthly existence.
The Walker of the Cosmos is a creature of the night, scorning the sun whenever possible and hiding himself in the night. He journeys around and through the stars, seeking the secrets of others and securing his own.
The Outcaste Emperor is arrogant and majestic, ignoring those that seek to obey him and ruling only those who can walk beside him. He is indifferent to politics and those who demand his assistance, instead favouring those who accomplish their goals without help and rewards such actions at random.
Zeleros' fate is engraved and hidden in the stars, thwarting those who seek to conquer and control him and ensuring his prized autonomy continues. As he wanders the stars themselves whisper their truth to him, causing even gods to be wary of his knowledge. His passage throughout the cosmos cannot be prevented, though it can be slowed. His mere presence corrodes lesser metals, causing bars to break, windows to shatter, walls to collapse and doors to splinter.
