Difference between revisions of "Severian Marcella"

'''Severian Marcella''' was arguably the second most important figure in the founding of [[Seleucar]]. He shared a childhood with [[Nikolas]], and often bullied him into giving up food - an act he admitted later on with shame. Years later, he accompanied [[Nikolas]] on his travels, providing a cynical foil to Nikolas' lofty optimism, and engaged him in such debates as the so-called "[[Sermon on the Rocks]]. Eventually, he gave in to Nikolas' idealism, and when the young man became Nicator and his burgeoning village branched into a bustling capital, Severian was appointed as the duke and later chancellor of Seleucar - the right hand of Emperor Nicator himself. He outlived Nicator, but passed away mere years before the [[War of the Deeps]] came to fulfill the prophecy of the [[Black Wave]].
