Eustace 'Grey' Therello is rather tall and somewhat built for someone his age and walks with noble bearing. He wears heavy blue robes with matching hood and cloak at all times, and usually has one or two heavy grimoires lashed to his back with thick leather straps. Grey has a small, trimmed beard and mustache of silver hair, and his head is topped with a mop of white, permanently messy curls. His eyes are a stormy grey and cyan color, and his face is drawn and worn with deep frown lines and crows feet. Grey also has a broad nose and arabian features, all wrought in sun-baked skin.
HISTORY
Grey's role as the Archmage of We'Darastri has been long and arduous. He was 'rescued' as a boy from a trading caravan attacked by Suzerain Tyretlethen, who deigned to let the toddler Eustace live in service as a thrall until the age of thirteen, when the Suzerain begain his magic tutelage. Grey excelled quickly over the years, gaining great skill as a wizard and spellwright, but gaining little in the ways of friends or company. He is of a draconic mindset, more than human, and generally finds the company of his own kind grating and insufferable. As such, he gained great favor in the eyes of Suzerain Tyretlethen, and so the great blue dragon king took Eustace with him on a trip to Terra. There, at the age of 55, Eustace was given oversight on an apprentice from the Suzerain's brood: Theredax. He considers Theredax as a son, despite the dragon princeling now being large that Grey himself. The trio returned to Gaia a few years ago, where Tyretlethen quickly resumed the reigns of his long-standing Sapphire Empire, with Grey right by his side as always. One fateful day, Grey and Theredax were sent away on a crusade against the Skyfall Kingdom, seemingly at random. When at last they were summoned home, Grey returned to find Tyretlethen slain and his favored concubine, Nedelethakor sitting on the Suzerain's throne. Having sworn an oath to the Sapphire Empire itself and not his erstwhile father, Grey is honorbound to serve this new Empress, but does so with little pleasure...
