Difference between revisions of "Severian Marcella"

'''Severian Marcella, a grey-haired man''', was arguably the second most important figure in the founding of [[Seleucar]]. He shared a childhood in [[Thera]] 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 fulfil the prophecy of the [[Black Wave]].

 

Severian once assisted with the [[Trial of Rebirth]] on the [[:Category:Planes|plane]] of [[Ceylon]] by teaching new [[adventurers]] basic knowledge about themselves and others.
