Role

Chapter 5

Psychological traits of note:

I) Quintalius was born under the sphere of Reason. It governs
and shapes every aspect of his life. He is devoid of a normal
range of human emotions and instead relies purely on what is
advantangeous. If he were to be defined in simple terms they
would be: cold, calculating and ambitious.

II) Quintalius is an evil and orderly soul. He feels anything
less is outside the realm of Reason. He feels that civilization
is a magical evolution. It's why savages, like the other houses
of his homeland, shun magic. They fear the progress of civilization
and the creation of a world where Reason and it's raw cunning
governs over savagery and mindless, brute strength.

III) Quintalius abides by the motto of his family: VIGILIANCE -
VENGEANCE - VICTORY. The "Three V's" are quite simple to him, in
line with his views on Reason and the foundation of his own
sense of superiority: Vigilance because great men watch all
things. Much like the owl they see what happens even out of
sight. They see the whole board, not just the moving peice.
Vengeance because a vas Antian never forgets his enemies nor
forgives their trespasses. Victory because adherence to these
laws results in dominance. This obsession has made him obsessed
with war and his approach to it may make him seem more like a
General than a mage. He defers to no one when it comes to battle
or political tactics. This arrogance could get him in trouble
as his plans become more complicated and situations more
convoluted.

IV) It is this lust for dominance that has brought Quintalius
to the worship of Lord Destuvius and the Twin Honors. He was
first introduced to the faith from a Drow solider serving his
mother and then again after settling in Galadon. He desires
to prove himself to the Lord and to become the ideal Destuvian.

V) He conducts himself as a noble with little respect for the
peasants of the realm. He carries himself with authority, even
when he lacks it, and views a potential post within the Spire
as coming with the correct amount of influence over civilization.
He writes well and speaks eloquently. He will never allow
himself to be lowered to the standards of the rest of the
realm. He will do everything within his power to be a feared
as his ancestors were.

VI) Quintalius admires all things magical. Since coming to
the mainlands he has taken up the trade of the necromancer as
he finds the power over the dead to be as appealing as power
over the willing. Within the dead he finds the ideal slaves.
Those who are eternally loyal. Those who would never betray
their betters. He loathes the Village of BattleRagers and
Fortress of Light and will do anything to ensure their
destruction. He has a kinship with the Empire and while
he is destined for the Spire he will seek to craft a close
series of alliances with the worthy of the Imperial ranks.
