Okay, you guys may have noticed that there's another Brehyrion listed...well...that's our main bad guy, the puppet king installed by Agricola himself.
Some background: Agricola, of course was the Roman governor over Britannia for a few years (during our time period, which is about 85 CE or so). For RP purposes, he has had Culann lead in chains to Rome, where Culann has become a "houseguest" of a certain diplomat, where Culann meets the character to be played by a certain flame-haired demigoddess...who shall remain nameless for now until she posts her character details.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch (Ebraic), the guy Agricola put in power isn't even a Brigantes - he's a member of thr Brigantes' biggest rival tribe, the Catuvellauni. His name is Santorix, and he's, for lack of a better term, a complete bastard.
Santorix is Culann's mirror image. He's a physical match for the Black Brehyrion - incredibly strong, iron-willed, and smart - except a thousand times more ruthless and evil than Culann. Santorix is running the tribe into the ground - forcing bad political decisions, keeping Brigantes women was concubines, and allowing Romans to do as they wish whenever they wish. Santorix has no regard for the welfare of the Brigantes people.
For y'all's information, the part of Santorix will be played by none other than my blood brother and boon combrogi, Mr. Vortigern Alloysius Aedui. 'Nuff said.
We're gpoing to pick up the story as Culann comes home after an extended "vacation" in Rome. He returns to find this Santorix in power, and the tibe in a shambles. Culann, notorious for being a Roman-hater to the core, has changed...he even returns with a new Roman buddy...and his attitude about Rome has shifted ever so slightly...
