Background:

As a child Cantos was a menace. Born to a farming hamlet outside of the city of Great Forks, many of the villagers could scarcly remember a more michievous kid to 'grace' the village. In him was a sort of restlesness that was horribly amplified by his natural intelligence as physical abilities. Back then it was clear that he was woefully under applied and ill at ease in a simple farming life. By age 7 his parents were relieved to have given him over to the Ascendant Order. Here Cantos flourished as the order saw to it that he was ever challenged to whatever abilities he would exhibit. His physical abilities were more than occupied by the labor and martial arts training that was standard to the order. His mental facilities were met by the study of philosophy and lore, until he became literate and scholarly in history and the tasks of the order. From this rigor a decidedly different Cantos emerged, with the same earnestness of his young self but markedly more temperate and controlled. From this childhood and adolesance he emerged a true monk and a valued member of the order, both active in its workings and wise beyond his years and continued on until he was 53 without any oversignificant events until current times.

His exaltation came, like many others of his kind, in a time of duress. Most of the order was engaged in a mission of mercy and healing to nearby Nexus, save for fellow priest Lendak and younger initiate and pupil to Cantos, Hubis who stayed behind to tend to the temple. Everyone else did not survive the brutal attack that occured that fateful morning. The bandits attacked in number and without warning. The martial abilities of the order availed them for only so long as they were felled by greater numbers and tactics. Cantos would surely have been among the slain but for the fact that he was in the rearguard. though his surrogate family were slain cruely and pointlessly around him, Cantos was able to break through their surrounding lines but he was pursued and harragned into a fighting retreat up against a ravine, where they drove him off over the edge and left him for dead, trusting the fall into the river to kill him. It was during this fateful fall that the power of the Unconquered Sun availed him to have him survive and begin his chronicle.

Description:

Cantos usually projects a serene, yet resolved visage to the world at large. His low brow and short and kept silver beard add to his contemplative nature, framed by his cleanly shaven head and deeply tanned skin, rough from years of exertion in the sun. Adorned in simple cotton monk robes, with ballooning trousers tied at his ankle to the socks and sandles at the bottom. A bandoler of wax prayer tablets fall over the dull white of his well worn priestly robes down to his belt made of thick yellow twine. The long sleeves that flair outward at is wrists conceal his chiseled muscles at his arms.
