Praetor Erristras

Praetor Erristras - also known as 'The Negotiator', is a somewhat jaded servant of the Telurian Empire. Given his gift - the Gift of Persuasion, his quick wit and astonishing memory the Telurian quickly grew into the Negotiator he is today. Anytime there is a politician or leading figure that needs to be swayed a certain way the Negotiator will be sent it. Same goes for anytime information needs to be gathered, opinions need to be changed or allies need to be gained. He spends most of his life alone going from one task to the other without much voiced complaint and has, over the years, developped quite the repuation as one who will get inside your head.

Personality
They say Erristras is 'A man who exhibits many emotions but feels none' but this isn't strictly speaking true. When Erristras is being Erristras and not one of his many guises he is a rather quiet, solitary man. Few people have seen the Negotiator's true face and thus it's often wondered if he has a true face at all. Indeed even Erristras worries that he's become more the Negotiator than he ever was Erristras.

While often the perpretraitor of evil deeds Erristras isn't strictly speaking evil, he merely does what he needs to. He's quite against killing people if at all necassary but has been known not to hesitate if the need arises. As stated Erristras is extremely solitary. It's not that he finds it hard to make friends but rather that he doesn't want those friends to someday come caught up in a plot of his own creation and thus prefers not to take that chance when at all possible.

As for 'The Negotiator' side of Erristras the most well known guise is that of a laid back, slightly smug smoker. His apparent mood and tone however can shift in an instant to fit his situation and has been known to go from completely upbeat in one moment to ruthless and insulting the next.

Apperance
Like all Telurian Erristras is clean shaven, his features are soft and generally unthreatening. His eyes are a deep purple that match almost to the hue his hair. His hair itself is usually kept short but he has been known to grow it out on occasion. Generally speaking he wears multi-layered clothing with a hood and shawl around his shoulders and is usually found with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Height wise he is the roughly the average height for a Telurian, if a little over it.
