Okay, here's a gold shirt grog for my last point of prestige. He's an old veteran in the body of a young soldier who's just a little bit naive about the ways of the surface world, having lived his life beneath the sea.
He got a longevity ritual in the same year as Orien, so he has a fair number of Warping Points already. I will account for the time and the vis in Orien's background once we figure out how that's going to be done up.
I understand that when we're traveling together, someone else will play him. But for times when he's on his own, I'll lay claim to him.

[size=150]Demetrios[/size]
Demetrios was just a small boy when the ship his family was sailing on was sunk in a storm. He was the only survivor, and it was only because a nereid enjoying the storm saw him and took pity on him. She rescued him and took him to a city of tritons beneath the sea, who adopted him and raised him as one of their own. They even taught him the secret of speaking to animals.
After several years, however, the tritons began to realize that Demetrios should have the company of fellow humans. And so they took him to the covenant of Aegaea where he had a chance to learn a bit about the world at large. Soon, his natural aptitude with weapons became evident and he began to train with the tritons who guarded the covenant.
When he was seventeen, he was assigned as a shield grog to a newly minted magus named Orien. This proved to be a relatively cushy job, as the man rarely left the covenant. And it was only when the covenant had visitors or Orien went on a journey that he really needed a shield grog. Nevertheless, a friendship grew up between the two. And despite rarely having to protect his charge, Demetrios became attached to his magus.
When Orien announced that he was leaving to help found a new covenant, Demetrios decided to go with him. For one thing, after all these years he felt it was his duty to stick with his magus. For another, he wanted a chance to really see what the surface world had to offer. He’d had glimpses of it on Orien’s few journeys away from the covenant. But to live on the surface was an entirely different thing.
