Horkus

"The Victorious warrior wins first and then goes to war, while the defeated warrior goes to war first and then seeks to win."

Personal Information

Reserved for Bloodline Progenitor NPC
Horkus the Ancient, Legatus, General of the First, Victor of Constantinople, Veteran of Carthage and the Gallic Wars.

Appearance

Tanned skin, even for one so ancient, almost as if he were made of gold. His piercing blue eyes miss nothing. His hair is slicked back and oiled. A rough stubble clings to his masculine jaw. Everything about this man was designed to entice, to draw you in with his look, his movement his sheer magnetism. (Striking looks far beyond human comprehension)

Personality

Horkus wishes the world to be how he desires, and so it is.

Mortal World

There is no memory of Horkus in the mortal world except for tales of legend in old musty history books

Information Known by Kindred Society

Elders may recall some of these details or have met the Ancient.

• A Roman, born lands of Corsica (somewhere between 78-75BCE), his father a retired Legionary, his mother a freed woman of the native Corsicians an influential woman in the village.
• Joined the Roman Legion in a hope to escape his home, and to live up to his father’s glory days.
• Appeared to have inherited his father’s aptitude in killing people on battle fields, and his mother’s ability to bring people together.

First Kindred Years

• Was embraced during the Gallic wars (58-50 BCE), in response to ongoing battles with the Gallic kindred whom where showing more resistance than originally considered, his Sire a half a decade old Daeva whom had be tasked with assisting to bring order to the Gaul lands had lost two childe to the the local kindred.
• His first nights were a brutal affair, setting the tone of the next decade as his sire dragged him between conflicts, seeking to create order and control for the Invictus.
• During these conflicts he grew to respect his enemy, their berserk nature and the underlying feral grace which upset his sire. He began to reflect his foe in conflict until the point he lost himself to the beast.

Awakening of the Bloodline

• In his final battle of the Gallic wars, the legionary found himself surrounded by his enemy’s mortals, he gleefully tore them to pieces with only his blade, having long cast his shield aside finding it slowly down the carnage. His beast roared in pleasure at the feast of death and blood and took control.
• He found himself watching from within his body as the beast leapt through the battlefield killing enemy and allies alike, and for the first time he understood his sire’s commitment to order. Only when it had disappeared did he understand the worth of his bond, in desperation he called out to anything that could hear him, offering anything in order to so, something answered back and agreed.
• It is upon this point that many kindred scholars would argue that the Lineages creation story is clearly impossible, if the progenitor lost himself to the beast he would never had returned, let alone by his own will. But in reply those of the bloodline would agree he couldn’t have returned himself, no he made his great pact and bound his beast in the chains of his oath and commitment.

Known Childer

• Signore di Tirruri- Embraced 524CE "Such promise my first childe had, until he lost his way. He thought he knew my desires, knew how to chain the best to his will, but instead he fell to the beast. It was better to prune the branch lest the tree be rotten"
• Delphi - Embraced 1340CE ""...neither her face nor hue went un-transformed; Her breast heaved; her wild heart grew large with passion. Taller to our eyes, sounding no longer mortal, she prophesied what was inspired from The God breathing near, uttering words not to be ignored. This was my childe while she was still mortal. Imagine what she is to behold now."
