Description:
Samhael does not appear as a typicla Minotaur. From the scholar's robes to the small spectacles perched on his nose, he would
appear just as one might think a wizard may look, but for the large horns emerging from his head. His dark eyes sparkle with and
inquisitive and lighthearted intelligence and his voice emerges in a soothing bass, remarkably eloquent for such a bestial visage.
Background:
One evening 20 years ago, a travelling scholar/wizard name Tenrick was passing along a seaside track when he witnessed a full fledged
combat between a Corsair vessel and a number of Imperial navy vessels. Before long, it was obvious that the Corsair was doomed and
shortly after a flash consumed the front half of the Corsair vessel, followed a few seconds later by the consussive sound of
the explosion. The Corsair vessel broke appart and disintegrated in the surf, coming ashore on the beach below Tenrick. A kind
hearted man, he descended to see if there were any survivors to assist, the navy vessesl already were turning to sea, indifferent
to any more suffuring of thier foes.
Searching among the wrack and ruin, Tenrick found an number of Corsaris...all dead. Until, he heard a faint scrabbling sound form under
and upturned dorry. Lifting it he found and infant Minotaur, clutching a patterned pillow. Talking softly, he approached the
frightened child then wrapped it in a blanket from his pack.
Taking the child up the beach, Tenrick made a fire and let the child minotaur warm himself. Finding some food stores from the
Corsair, Tenrick was able to feed the two of them for sometime, waiting to see if another Corsair vessel would come along.
In that time, Tenrick delighted in the minotaurs's intelligence, he already knew quite a bit of Tenrick's language and his grasp
of complex ideas seems limitless.
Ultimately, Telrick came to the conclusion that no one was coming looking for the child. Having grown attached, he asked the minotaur
if he wanted to come home with Telrick. The minotaur, having come to trust the old man, readily agreed.
Over the years, at Telrick isolated homestead, he taught the minotaur, Samhael , all that he knew of magic and the world; instiling
in Samhael is own insatiable curiosity and inquisitiveness. Finally, Samhael also caught one of Telricks traits: that of the
wanderlust, the need to see the world for oneself.
Telrick, seeing in his ward's restlessness a mirror of himself, proposed a trip for Samhael. Journey to the town of Levoca, near Margrave.
He had heard that there may be a number of leylines nearby that Samhael could investigate for the old man.
