Yannic, A Seer.
< Piero | Covenant Population | Konrad Rothschild >
Background
Unlike a lot of its occupants, Yannic was born nearby the covenant. In fact most magi would probably credit the covenant's fairly potent aura with bestowing Yannic with his many odd talents. In his early years Yannic was thought mad for his tendency to talk with people who were not there. When his fellows realised that it was their deceased kinfolk Yannic was talking to he was ostracised even further. The lack of living company never bothered Yannic particularly, for he was never truly alone - strange and restless spirits kept him company and he grew quite skilled in communicating with them.
When the magi of Conatus Sponte discovered his talents they offered him food and lodgings in return for his occasional assistance. Like most peasants Yannic has never ventured very far from his birth place. He spends a lot of his time in the wilderness where the people and spirits are fewer and further between.
Character
Yannic is a surly old man. His experience dealing with people (who only really talk to him when they need his services) has left him slightly bitter.
Yannic has numerous odd talents that the magi find useful. His senses, which are disturbingly keen in the mundane realm, see also into the spirit realm and can sometimes pick up magical auras and effects. Yannic also has the uncanny ability to communicate with any person, be they living or dead, local or foreigner.
Yannic is kind of apathetic towards most endeavours. His insight into the next world has left him at best philosophical, at worst blasé, about the world he currently inhabits. He enjoys sitting back and watching the affairs of the world, possibly commenting cynically on them to his equally grumpy companion, Piero.
Description
Yannic is a grey-headed man with an unkempt beard. His hands are twisted with pre-mature age and he walks slightly hunched and with a limp. His most disconcerting feature are his eyes, seemingly covered completely by thick cataracts, they dart around focusing on the slightest movement or oddity. His eyes have earned him the nick-name "Yannic the White" among the coven folk. Yannic dresses in shabby sack-cloth robes. He doesn't really own anything 'nice'.
