Physical Description:
In the animal kingdom, authority is dictated by size, and among a group of his kin, it is simple to determine that Cephalus is in charge. With four curling horns, and his green slitted eyes, Cephalus is hardly the most attractive of a race purportedly capable of charming maidens from their beds. His already frightening features are marred by many battle-scars, a further sign of his prominence within his tribe. His heavily muscled torso is equally scarred, and covered in blue spiral tattoos, that seem to shift and change like the pattern of ivy against an aged stone wall. His stocky, reverse jointed goat-legs are covered in coarse, black hair, but through the tangle, further tattoos can be seen.
Personality:
Although his bestial appearance might suggest a creature incapable of even the most basic thought, Cephalus is a cunning and wily beast, able to win others over through sheer guile, alongside his considerable strength. While diplomacy is not his first recourse, when faced with insurmountable odds, Cephalus is capable of settling things peacefully, for the sake of his tribe.
Equipment:
Weapons:
Cephalus' primary weapon is a two-handed, single-headed axe almost as tall as he is, with a shaft carved from the still-beating heartwood of an oak tree. The head is engraved with runes, enchanting every strike with the ability to drain the vitality of the victim. Attached to his left gauntlet is a wedge-shaped blade of metal, projecting a foot over his brawny fist. This allows him to parry blows, with both the point of the blade, and the flare of metal that covers most of his forearm and a good portion of his upper bicep, and to deal massive damage with punches.
Coiled around his waist is a whip woven from briar and lash-vines. Combined with his magical abilities, this weapon is almost prehensile, able to coil around limbs and inflict massive lacerations and transmit poisons. The whip is tipped with a three-pronged steel star. Sheathed under Cephalus' left arm is a steel crescent blade, engraved with similar runes to the long-axe.
Armour:
Cephalus' armour is focussed around his gut and arms, forged from heavy plates of meteoric iron, tightly cinched with leather strapping. The gut-plate extends past his groin, with lamed pouldrons protecting his shoulders.
