Octavian Moreau

Former member of the Blackguards, now one of the three Admirals of the Alcharla mok Djanda, Octavian Dormin Moreau is a force to be reckoned with.

Personality
Octavian is cold, calculating, and cruel. He is one of the best assassins in the Blackguards, and he is a master of reconnaissance. Either he was born without empathy or he has simply discarded it over the years. Neither option is comforting.

He takes comfort in few things and is known for his solitude. Octavian lives by himself, sleeps by himself, and speaks to others only when he thinks it necessary. He displays traces of obsessive-compulsive behavior tics, and his attitude towards his duties suggests that if he focuses on something, he pursues it exclusively and with a frightening single-mindedness.

History
Octavian was born in Welkin YEAR, along with his twin brother, Alphonse. The Moreau family was one of the founding members of the Blackguard House-- the Moreaus are actually likely candidates for the original Lord or Lady of the House in the Blood Era, though because the names have been stricken from history no one can say for sure who it was.

Octavian and Alphonse started training as acolytes among the Blackguards at a very young age, each showing promise. Though against tradition, they were paired together as a Killer/Cleaner unit, Alphonse acting as the Killer and Octavian the Cleaner. The brothers were recognized for their talents and were admitted into the Dead Lord's inner circle, eventually becoming his top men and first choice for delicate assignments.

This achievement gained the attention of the Lord of the Maelstrom, who met with the young men and asked for Octavian to join him, citing his need for a strategist. When they refused, he arranged the murder of Alphonse. The details of the event are difficult to discern, and Octavian refuses to speak on it.

Years later, when he asked again, Octavian accepted the man's offer. The former Blackguard now serves as one of his three Admirals, taking the role of the Mind, aping the Cennad of myth.
