Thoth

"Come, sit with me. We have much to talk about."

Thoth carries many extremely aged scrolls on his person... not many know why

This is a proposed character for Awakening 2.0 and is currently not finalised. It also also incomplete. Beware it is subject to approval and may change!

Most of this is OOC information. It is best used for links and OOC fun.

Born: 07/09/1901
Age: 115
Rank: Classified
Titles/Memberships: Classified
Various nicknames and aliases: Vigil
Physical description: Thoth's age is hard to determine. First glance would suggest extreme age, as his hair is bone white (though still full) and his wrinkles are deep and many. Second glance would put a guess of an age between 70 and 80. Still, though frail he appears to be in excellent health. He is heavily scarred from a lifetime of combat in a multitude of forms. He's rarely without his staff, and usually carries around a binder filled with old scrolls.
Nimbus: Thoth's nimbus brings with it an overwhelming sense of age and power, cowing those who see it.

Quick facts

Thoth could make do as someone's (or everyone's) grandfather quite easily. He's a friendly, pleasant and occasionally funny old man. It's not until something bad happens that most people see the other side of him. Thoth has been around for a long long time, and it shows. He's slow but deliberate, and scarily precise. He's fought in two world wars and who knows how many other times (both awakened and not) since then.

In better times, he's a teacher. He's one of the most aware of new mages, and with how long he's been at it, most members of the Pentacle in Australia has some sort of link to him, either in being directly taught (Thoth appears to have extensive knowledge in near everything), or from him being their teacher's teacher, and so on. He's also the first (and sometimes only) one to come to mind when someone wishes help in gaining, or more often, mastering a skill.

At this point, there are very few who have even an inkling of exactly how old he is. He's been around so long even the 'old' mages are used to having him there.

Known in the Sleeper world

Given his estimated age, it's likely he's had to sever ties with his family at some point. Who knows when though. As for the rest of the world? The man there bears no resemblance to Thoth.

Timeline

• 1901: Born
• 1918: Enlisted for WW1 at the age of 16 using his older brother's ID.
• 1918: Is discovered to a sleepwalker by a Thyrsus called Caraway, his then Sergeant. Caraway educates him in the truth about the Fallen World, and the supernatural undercurrent of the War in progress.
• 1919: With the war at an end, Caraway, inducts him into the Adamantium Arrow as a Banner-Bearer. He takes the name Vigil.
• 1939: With the sparks of World War II igniting, Caraway and Vigil reenlist. Caraway convinces the rest of their cabal to enlist as well. Despite some suspicion by army recruiters over the group's level of competence, Caraway's old influences allow them to be made into a special forces unit. Under Caraway's command, the group focuses primarily on countering Axis Awakened influences on the War.
• 1941: Caraway and most of the rest of the cabal perishes when a Seer Master of Matter invokes a paradox; resulting in an Abyssal Manifestation. Vigil survives, if barely. He remembers little until he is fully recovered, but by the time he's mobile again he has awakened to the Watchtower of the Iron Gauntlet.
• 1942-1945: With his new capabilities, Vigil rapidly rises through the ranks. By the War's end, he has reached the rank of Colonel. However, he again gets released from the army, devoting himself to service in the Adamantium Arrow.
• 1969: Is presumed dead in the Dubbo singularity. Details on the events are scarce, but seem to indicate that all of the Mages present were retroactively erased from Time itself.
• 1972: Vigil resurfaces as Thoth. He seems quite different, and bears many scars. On his return he formally quits the Adamantium Arrow.
• 1978: Thoth formally claims membership in the Guardians of the Veil.

• 2010: Discovered Circe in Launceston. Took her on as an apprentice. At her request, prepared her for Arrow initiation.
