Andrei

Andrei
Colisseum Healer

---

Almost caught off guard by the sheer magnitude of his undisputed talent -apparent, demonstrable and some rumor even deadly from a very young age- Andrei has spent most of his life trying to manage it. A perfect example of someone who has greatness thrust upon them and doesn't quite yet know what to do with it, throughout his life Andrei has seen himself reduced to the source of both devotion and terror - and his ability to communicate has suffered due to this fact. The idealisation of his prowess, almost of legend at this point, has led him to seek solitude and anonimity - and prompted a great escape, his only self-described sin, from his original clan - held in high regard by the Lightweaver. Since then it is rumored that he has lost her favour, and Andrei has had to carry this weight as penance for his newfound freedom. Nonetheless, he remains a devout follower and hasn't stopped using his talents in service of the deity - albeit no longer under the constant pressure he felt himself crumbling under.

Andrei is a soft-spoken warrywart, always over-cautious and over-prepared. Despite this, he carries a calming and almost otherworldly aura that can soothe those preparing in the eve of battle. His clumsiness and nerves keep him grounded and serve him as relatable pointers to those who would otherwise pin him as beyond the reaches of the mortal world. Together with his never-ending patience, these traits have also earned him the reputation of a great and sought-after teacher. Besides the great pleasure he derives from simple study, Andrei finds solace in the upkeep of the gardens - even if he can only make of it an occasional task due to his many duties.
