Othoros of Yagar

"I was there when a man killed my own mother. I saw her blood flowing on her own halls. I saw them burning her kin, MY kin, alive, in their own streets, while I stood still and did my duty. I carried the dead bodies of my two sons to the Blueblood river myself. My beloved wife died in sorrow. My brother died fighting his own kin, too. Only doing what he was told by these people. But me? I sat here, on these halls, managing my lands, fighting my wars, doing what I'm supposed to. And after all this time, I no more have anything to live for, no dreams that can be fulfilled, no fear that hasn't yet happened, no day that's worth living anymore. And yet I sit here, waiting for Death to come and take me. But it seems that Death itself has forgotten about me. From day to day, year to year, my waiting extends, and my senses become dull and my memories darken the daylight I look upon. High-Lord Othoros of Yagar was the ruler of the city of Castor that ruled during the final years of the Monolith Era and the first hundred years of the Clockwork era. His reign lasted 148 years in total, and when added his age, he lived for 176 years, making him the oldest half-Aesarian ever lived.

Early life
During his childhood, a revolution started at Castor by the Aesara that lasted for half year, after it surrendered and his family was taken captive by them. He and his brother Orkmeodos were disguised as servants to the court back then. When they became adults, they were forced to join the army, at which they surprisingly gained trust by obeying commands and doing their duties protecting the borders of the city.

When the Monolith City disappeared, his mother was surrounded by the soldiers and accused of treasoning against the Aesarian Empire, and when she refused to admit, she was stabbed in the heart by General Okhmos with a dagger. During her last breath, she paralyzed Okhmos's left hand with her blood. Othoros had promised great skill in strategic planning and leading the men, so he was promoted to a main officer at Yagar. He slowly and painfully reclaimed his claimant to the throne of Yagar, while his brother Orkmeodos joined the Atherian Nomads to shelter remaining Theian children.

Life as the High-Lord
At the age of 28, he was finally crowned the High-Lord of Yagar. He married lady Stellara and had two sons, Ogmar and Ragnor. They however were assaulted by bandits during a hunting trip, and both died to their wounds later. Othoros himself carried them both to glide on the waves of the Blueblood River. Their deaths saddened Stellara so much that she died to sorrow soon after, leaving Othoros alone on his halls at the Eagle Archway. He lived the rest of his life alone, cold-hearted but righteous, and year after year, he became less energized than he was before, and when his brother died during a fight, he was said to break completely. For the final 14 years of his life, he didn't even once leave the Archway, not even to see his own brother for the last time. He briefly met Theiadora when she arrived at Castor, and they spent the time to teach her in both magic and her history. At the age of 176, he made an apparent suicide by falling from the High-Lord's Tower.

Legacy
After his death, there was speculation "that if he hadn't killed himself, he would've probably lived forever" and on his burial stone set on the doorsteps of the Eagle Archway, are the words "Death tends to forget those who wait for it." It is unknown why he lived so long; some theories claim that his loss of physical activity made him to practically stop aging, although this theory is very far-fetched. He was also later claimed to be cursed by the God of Time Sat. The only theory with actual evidence is his Theian blood, which has life-extending abilities.
