Player:	Corwin Wright
Storyteller:	Brisbane VST

Real/Mortal Name: Unknown

Age: 31

Mask: Erebus appears as a dull young man in his mid to late 20s with hair that is starting to turn white. Nothing about him stands out and people rarely remember details about his appearance.

Mien: His flesh is made of a thick, damp, gray clay-like substance which has also completely covered his mouth (people still don't know how he eats). His hair is pure white and feels cold and wet to the touch and his eyes are sickly yellow and bloodshot. Frequently small fluctuations occur in his appearance as if something is moving under his skin.

Mantle: Winter manifests its way as an eerie stillness and calm with a cold starkness, even light seems dull in his presence with even the brightest light dimming to a faint glow when his sorrow is at it's highest.

Motley: House of Janus

Arcadia

Erebus was forced to work in the eternal and ever changing labyrinth of Lord Tartarus, his keeper. Endless corridors of polished obsidian that twisted and turned, hiding all manner of traps and insidious monsters to prevent those taken from escaping while Lord Tartarus watched over the chaos, like watching rats in a maze. Erebus however was not taken to run in the maze, he was taken to prevent people from escaping; he was stationed near the one and only exit from the Labyrinth and forced to take on the appearance of a loved on of those who were nearing their escape and leading them the wrong way, deeper and deeper into the maze.

Escape

After seeing so many die in the deadliest of traps near the exit he learned how to escape but he could not do it on his own. Instead of luring people into traps he collected those who made it near the exit and begged them to wait until he had enough of them to help him escape. With Five other changelings to help him he lead them closer to the exit, using them to set off the traps in his way. When only he and one other remained he saw the door clear and day and made his escape with the door closing as he ran through. He had a choice of holding the door open and possibly killing himself in the process to allow his companion to escape or continue running, saving himself but dooming the other. Erebus chose to keep running...

Recent Events

The Summer Tyrant

It took the Freehold several weeks to realize Erebus had even arrived in Brisbane and even then they only found him by accident. The Knighthood of the Utmost Silence had sent him there to evacuate Changelings from the city when the Summer Tyrant took over and he had been helping them escape one by one.

Civil War

Nobody is entirely sure what happened when the Civil War got into it's full swing, Erebus simply vanished without a word, even his fellow Winter Court don't know what happened to him during this time. The day the Summer Tyrant died / vanished Erebus returned without a single word as to where he'd been or what happened during his disappearance.

Despite much questioning he remains tight lipped (or as tight lipped as a man with no mouth can be).

Quotes About

"This darkling almost understands the game. Almost. He has yet to learn the lesson of not looking at someone's finger when they point at the moon. I'll let him figure that proverb out for himself, however. It won't sink in if I just tell him."

- Black Rook

Rumors
