Anthony Contarus, the Count's Headsman

[Valo56]

Another long-lasting character of mine, who no doubt had a lasting, noticeable effect on the server. :)

Okay, not really. But seriously, it was fun stuff playing him, kudos to those involved, especially Eq and Canzah.

A headsman from Westgate, Contarus had a reputation as the poorest  headsman in the city among the guard, but among the families of those he  executed he was the vilest of monsters. When he learned who he was  going to kill, he would go to the family or closest friends and threaten  to make the beheading the most painful experience he could make it if  they didn't pay him gold or do some favor for him. When he wasn't  cutting off heads every highsun, he worked as the overseer of a few  slaves at a foundry.

Following his teleportation to Ymph, he grew frustrated with the Clans  that he believed were foolish and doomed to kill everyone, him included.  Stories of the days before the Shrouding, before Trenada named himself  King and betrayed the Count, however, left him wondering if perhaps his  loyalties should lie outside Ymph, and in Old Port itself.

My eye! They got my eye! I wonder if Gadyw has a collection... maybe THAT is what Menaster was talking about being below the Hall, eh? :P



My very strange axe. I had hoped to portray it as Contarus seeing the heads of those he's killed laughing at him, but never did get much of a chance.


Fun stuff, now on to the next guy.

Well done. Stop dying so soon!
