Description</b>
Crimson Glass is actually a really really tall man and stands at around 7 and a half feet in height. He has black as charcoal hair and skin that looks almost perpetually sunburnt. Relaxed grey eyes are set into a thin face. A red scarf is tied around his forhead, the symbol of the band. When they raid aside from going in his armor and weapons they all also keep every part of their bodies wrapped in cloth strips, and the area around their eyes darkened with kohl so that no one can guess what their skin colour really is. He favors a light toga when relaxing in his manse.
<b>History</b>
Born to a soldier, bread by a soldier's family, and raised in a soldier house. Thus was his beginning. Yet though he was raised in such a manner, he seemed to not be able to blindly fall into the place his family wanted of him. He did well at school, did well on the field, and did well socially. He didn't exceed his peers, but he didn't fall behind either. He had his own views in how the house should go, and felt their focus on just military might would lead them to fall in time. He didn't know how accurate his words would be then, and he isn't happy to be correct either. Long before the Tepet Legions were destroyed by the Bull of the North he had been temporarily sent into Exile by his house for gross insubordination within one of the Legions. So he went, and was not cowed by the effects of being cut off from the society of the Realm. He has his own troops now, a new life, new friends and a new fate. He has seen enough to doubt what he was taught and no longer sees the Realm as he once did.
He joined the Crimson Brotherhood originally to strike back at the Realm and its allies, but after taking leadership over from the old mortal leader, now enjoys himself as a famed outlaw. He changed his name from Tepet Veral to Crimson Glass after taking over, and grows richer with each passing act of banditry. His life with them has been a very empowering time for him, and his mastery of essence has grown away from the society of the Realm.
<b>Familial Descent</b>
Within the Realm he can trace his family line to several once prominent members of the House. Most of them are dead, and though he doens't know it, the actual family he is descended from is completely eradicated by the loses in the North. He is not related to the Empress, having been adopted into house Tepet about 4 generations ago from a Patrician family.
