Lothar

Personal Information

Appearance

Lothar's flesh is palid and rough, similar in texture to a shark, his mouth a mangled mess, better described as a maw and his eyes dark as the depths of the ocean. There is no shame to be found in him of his appearance, nor pride, simply acceptance. For monster we are, lest monster we become.

Personality

For most of his existence, Lothar was an aggressive, merciless killer. His wrath led him and drove him in all tasks. Until his torpor in the Livian Crusade and his waking in 2009, since then he has been much more reserved and elderly. Some have even described him as pleasant. For the most part he is still a confronting and fearsome personality, but much more reasonable.

Mortal World

It's been a long time since Lothar was mortal, though there is an occasional rumour that he was a pirate captain.

Quotes

Quotes By

"It has been claimed that I am like hellfire and brimstone, but this is incorrect. Fire lacks direction, and once it's rage is spent life can grow once more from the ashes.

I am not like fire, I am like the ocean. My rage runs deep, with malice of centuries. When my destruction bellows forth there is no place for life to continue."

- Lothar, with no hint of pride in his voice.

"I have been forced to learn wisdom and subtlety, but I still thirst for vengeance like blood, I still lust for war and death, and I still feel nothing but contempt for mercy and forgiveness."

- Lothar, when questioned if he's 'gone soft'

Quotes About

"He's an honourless cur! He doesn't belong in the armour!"

- Batavia, bitterly protesting her battlefield "replacement" to Godric Volmark in the Rhineland, 1720s.

"No-one. Touches. My brother."

- Batavia, growled to a group of Valdyr in a tense standoff in the Black Forest, 1750s.

"There was no choice, not truly. With joyless passion, I love my brother; grimly, obstinately, irrevocably - as armour loves a sword.
And I know he loves me...like a noose loves a neck."

- Batavia, to Godric Volmark, following some...family tensions, April 2015.

“I am not the monster he believes, and I will never join him in the Lancea Sanctum”

- Thomas Volmark after walking away from a lecture from his sire(Lothar) in 2003.

"He is the sword at my back, the force pushing me ever forward; my own personal terror. But come the end of days, I will be standing above him."

- Rasmus Armfelt

"He made me the monster I am tonight. I will be always grateful but never forgive him."

- Lupo

"His resolve runs as deep as the crushing ocean depths, tempering a murderous rage never far beneath the surface."

- Esteban Cortes

"... I really, really wish I didn't respect him as much as I do."

- Eira, after receiving Lothar's assistance in 2014.

"One of these nights, he's going to break me. He's going to tear me apart and spit on the pieces. And I will weep with joy and kiss the hand that saves me and makes me a monster to serve Allah. He saddens me, though. Such a brilliant mind. Why is he so married to being a weapon, when he can be so much more?"

- Fatimah al-Mu'allima

"Does he miss the Sea? I wonder. To see him locked in the dead air and dull murk of a room filled with nattering neophytes and calcified ancients, where is the wind in his hair, the gleam of swift death in his eye... and then he turns, and I see it"

- Jules

Conversations

"On those first nights I would lie in the desert looking up into the stars. Crowding the sky beyond number they had a heavy presence, a weight, that bore down on me. God's purview is this infinite expanse, and what are we beside that? Less than mere motes of dust in the enormity of the desert. The question is not do I acknowledge God. I do. He made me just as much as my mother and my Sire. No, the question is: does God acknowledge me?"

- Tybalt discusses his faith with Lothar

"Brother. It is a blessing to see you. Will you not embrace me?"

- Batavia

"Ugh."

- Lothar, stiffly submitting to a cuddle.

"Consider it a trivial matter between us, for me to look into the eyes of the man who will kill me - after I have killed everyone and everything that he holds dear."

- Anthony Desmond, at the conclusion of the January gathering in Sydney - after ten minutes of the two staring at each other across the room.
