Volsius
The Greencloak
Greencloak Volsius Thornwood (a.k.a. Vos)
“The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or of joy. The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present. Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone.”
― Alan Lightman, Einstein's Dreams
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
In a phrase, Vos could be described as an tomcat made a man. While not possessing an intimidating frame, his slender, flexible musculature is shaped for agility and endurance. His subdued air runs counter to the expectations of a boisterous Rellethian son.
Body Features
His Dark skin lacks the olive tone expected of nobility. Showing not only his mixed heritage, but the distinct lack of Elven heritage of his blood common to other houses. His nationality could easily be mistaken.
Facial Features
His distinct lack in facial hair and sharp, heart shaped face identify him as Rellethian. Sharpness made even harder by the bags under his eyes and mirthless dark lips.

Accomplishments & Achievements
a founding member of the party of Fate's Keep, Vos had a great role in the defeat of the Dracoliche. Later he could become a key conspirator in the usurpation of the Lord of Lies. Throughout his long life he met many great enemies and had many great journeys. It is only fitting he is most defined by his few great failures.
Failures & Embarrassments
Prone to self inflicted martyrdom. He left home in shame, faking his death to avoid the attacks of a rival house. Hoping that his loss would be enough to satiate the spite of his enemies. When his allies fell under danger of the Archdevil, he took it upon himself to traverse Hell, and plot against the lord of lies. He did not return the same man.
While possessing an acute power of observation, he found it very hard to relate and understand even those close to him. His legacy remember's him as an insatiable womanizer, even if the stories are much more complicated. In his wake are various wards and old flames who only remember the sorrow he left them.
Mental Trauma
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Driven to master his environment and himself, Vos pushed himself to every possible limit. All to better serve his idea of order. Order to protect his loved ones and his world. Order to ensure it turned at his leisure.
Vices & Personality flaws
While he wasn't necessarily unable to deny a woman, its clear the women in his life had a great deal of sway in his life. Problems he wasn't able to solve often festered and clung to his mind, driving him to great lengths to obsessively try to fix that which was often out of his reach, or none of his business.
Hygiene
His public image was barely presentable, wrinkled clothes that he never seemed comfortable in, and his own living spaces were covered in clutter, for he barely spent time in them. His being spoke of a distinct lack of personal care. whether a lack of sleep or days at end on a journey alone he never looked to be without restlessness. In his later years the smell of alien blood permeated his entire being.
Social
Religious Views
For much of his life he paid lip service to Ausra, as expected of his birth. While not immediately religious in nature, His personal nature likely stemmed from early meditation ceremonies
Social Aptitude
Often acting under polite, yet distant, confidence, even when boasting. despite the trust others gave him he seemed anxiously antisocial, rarely revealing his full intent to even his closest friends. Others would often feel they were just accessories to his personal musings when speaking to him. This often caused problems as his leaving the room with a pensive murmur could often be interpreted as cryptic declaration. Many would find him to be possessing a dark, predatory charisma, born either of his heritage or his own nature. He personally found this off-putting to consider.
Mannerisms
He rarely gesticulated, even in the most fitting circumstances. In fact he almost seemed to avoid it, leaning against surfaces and his arms crossed under a cloak. his eyes rarely blinked or broke contact, a habit he actively avoided if it made those close to him uncomfortable. This often lead to a unusual display of shyness.
Hobbies & Pets
While having many companions he rarely had the company of anything that was not capable of feeding itself. In his free time he was known to participate in unusual exercises, often scaling and traversing the landscape, whether in wilderness or otherwise. It's said Vos rarely saw a difference sometimes.
Speech
While never unclear or unheard, he spoke in a breathy subdued tone. Those close to him knew his mood through various sharp or resigned inhales and exhales. He personally dislike being refereed to as an assassin or thief and preferred to call himself "..a professional problem solver."
Relationships
Wealth & Financial state
While noble by birth he preferred to live a very personal form of spartan flagellation. He surrounded himself with expensive and rare tools, but rarely comforts. as one of the master's of fate's keeps and the master of his own organization, any mortal need was never outside his reach. Even divinity owed him favor's which to date have not been called upon.
