A Work in Progress
Concept:
A warrior-magus, born in Constantinople within the walls of a Jerbiton Covenant, Constantine was marked at a young age by the sack of the city, and the inability of the magi to protect themselves or the great works of art. Although possessing the love of beauty of his fellows, he knows that if treasures are not protected, they will be lost to the ages. He seek out works of art to protect them, and looks for opportunities to avenge himself on those who sacked his beloved city. He thrills in combat, and leading mundanes into battle. He attempts to work magic subtly, lest he bring ruin to his sodales.
Constantine apprenticeship began in the chaos following the sack of the City, and his parens was one of the founding members of Michael's Tabula, the underground Covenant dedicating to restoring the City's former glory. He took well to magic, particularly the art of terram, perhaps inspired by the Covenant's unique patron. He also took to swordsmanship and practiced with the Covenant's resident warrior Wilrich of Flambeau. Ultimately, however, he found working magic within the city difficult. Both the Divine and the Infernal had strong effrets on his magic, and it was discovered that his Parma was flawed, sensitive, perhaps to the betrayal that had struck the City. Once Constantine gauntleted, in consultation with his Parens and other members of the Covenant, it was decided he would leave and join a new multi-house Covenant being founded in Greece. There he would seek out connections and allies to further the mission of restoring Constantinople to greatness.
