:Physical description:
- Mask
Tall. Standing about seven and a half feet tall, with a build that puts some football players to shame. He's not particularly hansom, nor particularly ugly. Strong though. Which is often enough. Light Blond Hair pulled back severely from his face. Calloused hands often dirty with motor oil, gun oil or soot from a forge. He wears special glasses that hide his eyes all the time.
- Mein
This is his shame. For in the mask you may see a tall and hansom male. But to the fae there is little humanity left to this gladiator. Clockwork gears click and turn, while servomotors whine as he flexes his fingers. A soft hum comes from his eyes as the lenses focus and refocus with his gaze. The ticking of a clock echos within his chest.

Groups
- Brotherhood of Chains - Good people. I'll help them out when and where I can. All they got ta do is ask. Sides, why else hold this damned Trod safe?
- The Exalted Guild of the Fae-Touched Artisans - They pay well for my stuff. What? Sword making is absolutely an art-form! You see this blade? Hand-forged, folded over 500 times. That's craftsmanship, jackass.
- Never Again – It’s one thing to escape the Torture we were put under. But it’s another to prevent it from ever happening again. I'll make them Cold Iron, so long as they never use it on a Changeling.
- Order of The Isle – There are secrets to be learned from these mystics. I for one value their input, Even if my Brother does not.
- The Praesidium – We are the line in the sand against the Others. Let them Crash into us like waves upon the stones. When they dry up, we will still be standing.
People
Family
- Gaius Arctorus - My Older Brother. I don't think he realizes how much I look up to him. Or how Jealous I am.
- Durendal - One of my brothers, and one of the many links between my Order and Edria's. Gods protect the demon that tries to outrun him, or the foe that stands before him and his chosen goal.
- Lady Zephyr – My sister. It’s for her as well I fight.
- Wayland Smith – Brother’s Craft is better than mine, I’ll give him that.
Friends - well, sorta
- Saga – Good Fighter. Better Mechanic.
- Varyn - I think she was the one who kept repairing me after each battle. I gotta remember to thank her one day.
- Edria Meredith - This is the Woman my Brother is betrothed to? And he complains WHY??? Hows about we switch. He guards this trod and I marry the Priestess. Sounds fair to me.
Musings
Sir Kay was the son of Ector (Ectorious) and the foster brother of King Arthur. History records Kay (Cai in Welsh) [Caius in Latin] as being a very tall man, as shown by his epithet, the Tall. He appears in the Mabinogion tale of "Culhwch and Olwen" as the foremost warrior at the Court of the King Arthur, and apparently had mystical powers and was called one of the "Three Enchanter Knights of Britain" for: "nine nights and nine days his breath lasted under water, nine nights and nine days would he be without sleep. A wound from Cai's sword no physician might heal. When it pleased him, he would be as tall as the tallest tree in the forest. When the rain was heaviest, whatever he held in his hand would be dry for a handbreadth before and behind, because of the greatness of his heat, and, when his companions were coldest, he would be as fuel for them to light a fire". Sir Kay at times had a volatile and cruel nature, but he was Arthur's senechal and one of his most faithful companions. Kay married Andrivete, daughter of King Cador of Northumberland, and he is credited with sons called Garanwyn and Gronosis and a daughter called Kelemon. Some sources say that Kay was a Saxon, but was unlike the heathen Saxons because he was a Christian. from Sir Kay|King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table

About Caius
"I've heard whispered rumors that Caius isn't as welcome as he should be in the north. I can't imagine why. His heart is good, his honor is strong, and a better shield brother most could not ask for. Maybe I'll teach him some healing skills so people will stop griping..." ~Edria Meredith
"Yah - wot a sight, wot a sight! Cogs, gears, muscles, flesh all workin' together in a perfect harmony. *shudder* There but fer the grace a' God go I." ~Varyn
"So different, he and I. He is the moving mountain while I am the moving army. Such differences in build but we are much the same: Honor. Loyalty. Steadfastness. Respect. I understand his purpose... our swords will not clash as the army can move with a mountain." ~X-Caliber-8
Rumors
- It's said that if you open up his chest armor you face a grizzly sight - his naked human heart connected to pipework pumping foul ichors through his metal frame. And next to it, floating in a clear jar in a protective bath is his brain.
