ARCHAELAUS RAVENSBORNSON
GENERAL
Name: Archelaus Ravensbornson
Age: twenty-two
Birth Season: Winter
Occupation: Warrior of Bantu Siri
Citizen Status: Warrior
PHYSICAL
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200 lbs
Body Description: Archelaus is a decidedly unremarkable individual. He's tall and probably rather scruffy by Lorendale standards, a lifetime in Coheed having left him unbothered about such things as his physical appearance.
PERSONAL
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Reputation: Archelaus is as charming a man as Coheed can produce. He is confident, amicable, likes a laugh and enjoys a flirt. Usually, you'll find him partaking in a drink and/or singing a few old songs in an attempt to entertain others. Perhaps surprisingly, he was actually a good husband (by Coheed's standards anyhow) and a genuinely affectionate father. He's inclined to try and breeze through any tough or tricky situations that he might find himself in through some fast talking and wit, as a lifetime in Coheed without the same physical prowess has taught him to use his brain rather than relying solely on fists and strength.
He remains at heart a Coheedsman however, when pushed there is a certain cold and brutal streak within him. Archelaus is the sort of man who can and will kill another at the drop of the hat and not lose any sleep over the matter. His moral fiber extends only as far as his own interests. As far as he's concerned, it's a dog eat dog world and if lying, cheating and tricking means you stay on top of the heap then so be it.
There is one thing however that will cause his blood to boil and vitriol to rise without fail and that's the name "Eldouir". Whilst Archelaus holds most gifteds in contempt and thinks that the world would be better off without them, this is doubly true of the Eldouir. Indeed, the man has made it his personal mission to exterminate those whom he holds accountable for most of his woes.
Combat Experience: Archelaus was raised a warrior of Coheed and treated as such. Like all Coheedsmen, he was trained to fight from his youngest years and is a formidable warrior. His trademark weapons are peculiar as they are made out of pieces of flint, sharpened so as to be as cutting as a knife. He prefers to fight with a tomahawk.

HISTORY
Family: Cambrian mother (unknown), Ravensborn Kriegson (father, deceased), 4 (half-brothers, deceased), a dozen or so half-sisters (deceased)
Wife, Embry (deceased), 2 twins sons - Lupos and Ursos (deceased), 1 daughters (Sunny) - 3 years
Tale:
Archelaus doesn't know much about his mother, other than she was from Cambria.
For whatever reason, she chose to settle with a man from one of the smaller tribes, their witch-doctor to be precise. One day, the man found himself presented with his son, a boy he named Archelaus. Archelaus' upbringing was pretty typical for most sons of Coheed. He was trained in the arts of combat and honor. Archelaus was perhaps somewhat different from typical Coheed warriors by his tendency to want to use his brain before his fists. Although he was a capable fighter, the lad always seemed to be more inclined to think about the situation and then to rely on his wits to get the better of an opponent.
It came as little surprise when he won his first blood and earned the title of "warrior". One slight peculiarity was that his father seemed particularly keen for him to marry. Thankfully, Archelaus was only too keen to oblige, marrying the closest thing to a "childhood sweetheart" that could be found in Coheed. By the age of twenty-one, he had fathered a daughter and twin boys.
Archelaus took part in the attacks on Coheed and lost many a brother and tribesmen, narrowly escaping with his life. Upon returning home, the small tribe intended to do what it could to recover. Fate, however, had other plans. One day, without warning, the sky turned dark and the Eldouirs came bringing with them fire and smoke. In the space of a few hours, their tribe was reduced to ashes.
Archelaus himself only survived through dumb luck as he found himself near a lake. He along with his eldest daughter Sunny and a handful of others survived. His wife and sons were gone. Fueled by rage, what remained of the tribe has since joined other refugees in Gilead and one of its few survivors finds himself wanting revenge.
