Aspects
| Reputation: Stilicho seeks to establish a heroic reputation that will make his name one that is spoken all across Barsaive. His father used to say that reputation is everything. He believes that to be true and sees his growing reputation as a way to maintain the hope of his people of his eventual triumphant return. Now that he is the prophet of Rashomon, Stilicho sees this as another reason to work to make himself a legend. The more people talk about Stilicho and his heroics, the more often the return of Rashomon will be discussed and the more Elfric’s tenuous hold on the throne of Konigsberg becomes. |
| Justice: Stilicho seeks to impose justice on those who he deems to need it. The cruel, dishonorable and evil beings he comes across he views as his enemies and he seeks to bring them to justice… which usually means to the sword. Stilicho was born and raised as the son of an Ealdorman in the province of Konigsberg. His father (Alaric) and brother (Sarus) were killed as a result of treachery. Elfric betrayed the oath he took to Alaric, which was to support Stilicho as Ealdorman in Koningsberg should Alaric die. Instead, Elfric betrayed his oath and took over as Ealdorman for himself, sending assassins to kill Stilicho on multiple occasions. Stilicho seeks to reestablish himself as the rightful Ealdorman, and take remove his uncle from power. As a result of the betrayals, Stilicho seeks to impose justice on those he deems to be dishonorable and in need of justice. This is especially true for Elfric, who Stilicho beleives must die for his crimes. |
| Faith: Stilicho seeks to spread the word and faith of Rashomon while destroying the dark presence of Raggok and his corrupt followers. Stilicho’s father Alaric, instilled in him the ways of the warrior and teachings of Thystonius and Rashomon. Stilicho’s ancestors were followers of Rashomon and Stilicho has ever been drawn to discover more about Rashomon’s ultimate fall and maddness during the Scourge where he was said to have become the mad passion Raggok. |
| Loyalty: Stilicho is devoted, dedicated and fanatically loyal to his friends, allies and family. This includes his men, The Unchained, his family, the people of Konigsberg, the Stoneclaw Moot and anyone else who he feels are his allies. Stilicho was born into a largely human society in Konigsberg where a man’s oath is a sacred thing and honor is a way of life. That changed little when he was captured by the Steelskull Clan and became a member of the Stoneclaw Moot. His upbringing was very similar in belief system to the troll moots in the Twilight Peaks. His character history is splashed with situations where dishonorable or disloyal acts has caused him and those close to him considerable grief. |
