Notable Persons

This will be very much like the book Rex was writing in the Library of the Menagerie, called "Listing of Notable Personsages."

Charon
Charon appears as a large, skeletal humanoid either wearing dark robes or clothes mocking the transportation he offers. He is a lord of the yugoluthi, reportedly transformed into a more powerful creature by mystic night hags. Charon's original role was to provide ferries across the Rivers Styx and Archeron, but he now purveys transportation to all places for a steep price. He commands a legion of marraenolothi who provide the same service and represent him in business agreements.

Death
Death is the highest yugoluth known. She controls all dead and will ride in the apocalypse of Earth upon her pale horse. She, unlike other yugoluthi, has the sole power to kill, but some sources say that she can only kill off one fourth of any population. She a close companion with other powerful yugoluths and beasts. She is not keen to bargaining and is a busy demon most of the time. It is not wise to request to see her with out an appointment. Some ancients refer to her as Híppos Khlōrós, but her close colleagues call her Thánatos. To others, the generic term for the Angel of Death is Malach ha-Mavet. Other names include Mairya and Mot.

The Angel of Death figures in many different traditions. To some, for example, it is called Azrael, who is forever inscribing names in a large book, then erasing them. You are inscribed at birth and erased at death. Death could of course be a good, holy and welcome figure, a messenger from a higher power tasked with gathering souls for paradise. Over time, however, it has become confused with Satan, demons and the powers of darkness.

Eoin Graihl


6'5'', approximately 200 lbs, Eoin Graihl, also known as Grayell, Renquist of the Menagerie Planet and Grenquist, is a reborne incarnation of the vampyre known recently as Renquist. His body has been altered, more human than prior. He has long white hair which reaches the ground and is more slender than prior. Gone are the scares and excess hair, the branding on his left shoulder and more importantly - the teeth.

Little is known of Grayell as he seldom speaks of his past. He has made implications to past enemies, all are assumed dead. his age is a matter of dispute, but it is known he once sat as elder of his bloodline. He has little tolerance for corruption, evil and the undead. He seems at odds with his own existence at times. He seems to revel in combat, often refusing to bear arms and relying on his more physical skills. A paradox of manners and crude behavior, he is loyal to a fault to those loyal in return. He also has a definite affinity for animals and is fiercely protective of them.

Grayell has acquired a newer disposition. He is now divine and mortal - he has complete though unnecessary bodily function, he has emotions and better yet - the beast that dwelled within him as a vampyre has been removed. In it's place is the Fey spirit - the every magical essence of the Fey. This is Grayell's new and true calling. Most have supposed that Grayell, if he is still alive, exists on the Menagerie Planet, but now the word is circulating that he escaped in time and jumped through an open portal. This is a likely occurrence as the Menagerie Plane is the center of of places and is used to regularly receive portals.

There has been a slight confusion as to what Eoin Graihl was before he was transfigured into Grayell. He often referred to himself as a vampyre, but recent investigations have shown him to have bare.y any characteristics of one. The more informed guess is that he was a vampire.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein
The Doctor is a mysterious character, seemingly able to pop out of anything, behind any corner, in your past, your future. He is a serious mage and scientist, yielding to his alchemical background. He is an old frail man, but not to be underestimated at any time. He may duplicate his being and his mind is as a computer. He is more adept and adaptable than most men. His vampiric abilities are to be feared in all scenarios.

His main weapon is his Blood Rose Vambrace, a complex arm mounted device that must work by bending space as it contains an extreme amount of medical implements and substances. it is also equipped with a grappling hook, flamethrower and 16" blade made out of material deadly to most supernatural beings.

He toys with time and space like they are putty, healing those in need, betraying those who trust him. He may be in multiple instances on every side of major wars and be influencing all sides, never quite on top, but high enough to be influential.

Grim Reaper
The Grim Reaper is a worker for Death and her many forces. These days, the Grim Reaper is usually seen as a skeleton or a cadaverous figure, garbed from head to foot in a black robe and hood, and carrying a large scythe.

In the Middle Ages and during the intervening centuries the Grim Reaper appeared in various guises, including an unclothed skeleton, or even as a decomposing corpse. The Grim Reaper is sometimes shown as having wings, suggesting an yugoluthic role. In portrayals there is usually an oversized sharp instrument, either a scythe or a sickle (but sometimes an arrow or spear); there is often an hourglass or a clock; sometimes also a black crow; and occasionally a black steed as the Grim Reaper's mode of transport.

In Greek Mythology, Kronos (or Cronus) the Titan was given a sickle, with which he castrated his father Ouranos (Uranus). Kronos then married his sister Rhea and governed the Titans. But just as he had vanquished his father, he was afraid that his children would vanquish him, so one by one, as they were born, he swallowed them all, except for Zeus. Kronos was a god of the harvest, and the sickle with which he emasculated his father was an agricultural implement. The Roman equivalent of Kronos was Saturn, also an agricultural god. Saturn's festival was called the Saturnalia, which took place around the time Flarbmas is celebrated. Kronos seems to have become confused with Chronos, the Greek word for time. Thus the Titan Kronos with his sickle is also depicted with an hourglass, representing time. It has also been suggested that the double bulb of the hourglass represents the testes. Another association with time is that Saturn is the Bringer of Old Age.

Thus the Grim Reaper, with his sickle and hourglass, is Kronos, is Saturn, and is also Old Father Time, the harbinger of the inevitable for us mere mortals, and the harvester of souls.

Lady of the Lake
The Lady of the Lake is the name of several related characters who play integral parts in the Arthurian legend. These characters' roles include giving King Arthur his sword Excalibur, taking the dying king to Avalon after the Battle of Camlann, enchanting Merlin, and raising Lancelot after the death of his father. She is known variously as Nimue, Viviane, Niniane, Nyneve, and other variations.

Under the surface of the lake exists a beautiful wraithlike presence of a woman known as the Lady of the Lake. Dressed in tattered robes and veils, she is first among the three sisters who reside beneath the waters. It is rumored she is a powerful spirit or fae who lures wayward visitors under the waves and traps their spirits in an eternal waltz, dancing for her amusement.

The Man at the Crossroads
"He is of average height, but on the thin side. Long narrow limbs clothed in a pair of charcoal colored slacks and matching suit coat. The coat buttoned over a bare chest, but you can just make out the beginning of some scars beneath. His hair is shoulder length, and a deep rich red, streaked with black. At his temples there are to solid black locks of hair going back over his head. Vaguely reminding you of horns. Strangely, his eyes are the same color as his hair.

Even more strange is that, despite the glaring light from the surrounding ring, obstacles in this area cast shadows as if he were the brightest light source. Though no visible light can be seen coming from him."

That is the description given to the man at the crossroads. Is he a demon or a powerful faerie? Whatever his true nature, he is there to make a deal, to give you want you want, anything you want, for a price. Are you willing to pay what you cannot give, for something you should never have? Your soul, your morality, your friends, your sanity, something that is a sacrifice will be asked. The larger the request, the larger the price. Simply summon him at the crossroads, any crossroads, by dropping some blood in the center of the cross roads and saying his name. Until that time, he waits in the spirit world for his next customer. A word of warning, making a deal with the devil never favors the requester.

Titania
Titania is the fey deity of Faerie folk and Realms, Friendship, and Magic. Her symbol is a white diamond with a blue star glowing in its center, the antithesis of the black diamond symbol of her sister, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Titania is described as a beautiful female faerie, only three and a half feet in height, with gossamer wings, pale skin, a perfect complexion and cheek bone structure, and penetrating blue eyes, carrying a diamond-tipped wand. The truth of the matter is that few remember or know her true form. She is capable and fond of many glamors, from a child, an animal to an elderly hag.

Titania does not believe in law but as mentioned; does believe in order. Again, her association with being 'good' is purely a matter of her devout opposition of her sister and the Unseelie and any other evil which could be considered to threaten the balance. There are stories of Titania opposing entities and societies considered 'good' - but as they came to such conflict were then considered 'evil', having done something wrong to stir the Queen's ire. The queen can be considered to be light hearted and jovial, a truly benevolent deity. She is said to not take the matters of mortals to seriously but has been known to favor mortals on few occasions, suggesting perhaps that statement is not entirely true. It is generally considered to be a fact amongst the Fae that upsetting the Queen is not only a hard thing to do, but a terrible mistake. Legends speak of her omnipotence and power when moved to act.
