Created by Barry Mulvihil
Druid
Alter Ego: Cian Mac Domhnaíll
Occupation: Member of the Anachronist Society
Known Relatives: None Living
Group Affiliation: The Anachronist Society
Background/History:
Cian was a young druid at the building of Stonehenge, but he was becoming
disenchanted with working toward balance. The Druids could do great things and
become powerful, yet they "served nature". He began sneaking away and
harassing locals. He began amassing wealth by thievery. He began expanding his
druidic powers by dabbling in the dark arts. He began an attempt to become
Archdruid, to gather followers to create a rebellion within the grove. He was
mistaken to assume that his fellows were as displeased with their lot in life
and his plot was revealed. A large convocation was called and druids came from
many surrounding groves to judge the rebel. Their punishment was simple. If he
wished to forsake nature and the proper balance, so be it. He would be removed
from nature itself, imprisoned in one of the stone pillars that Stonehenge
circle was made of. There he remained, conscious of the passage of time, to
contemplate his decision for eternity passing from sanity to madness and back
again. There he remained until Crykill was attempting to gather strength
following his exit from the Nexus by siphoning energy from any mystical
repositories he could think of. The long inactive circle of stone initially
yielded little, but he sensed the evil spirit in the stone. He released Cian in
return for his oath of loyalty and promised him the power that he had sought so
many decades before. He quickly accepted Crykill’s terms and, almost
surprisingly, meant it. He realized during his long imprisonment that he could
never be a great leader, but he could certainly share in the spoils of the
Anachronist Society.
Personality/Motivation:
His imprisonment left him with the realization that he truly was no man of
vision, but he could work with others to secure his rightful place, not as a
sheep slaving for some mythical natural balance. He might not be cut out for a
king, but a prince of the realm could suit him just fine. This viewpoint makes
him one of Crykill’s most faithful followers.
