Chronicles of the Petenye Dynasty, Part I: King Janos 'the Spider' of Bulgaria
Year 867
Janos is a great chieftain of Wallachia, a vassal of the Orthodox Bulgarian King Boris of the Balgarsko dynasty. Being a pagan (Tengri), he was held in contempt by both the king himself and his other vassals (as well as his own). By age 22, he possessed the following characteristics and traits:
Elusive Shadow
The Elusive Shadow has mastered the art of intrigue and should make a perfect Spymaster - as well as an ideal mentor for prospective schemers
Quick
This character is brighter than most
Lustful
Lust, or 'Luxuria', the first deadly sin, enflames this character. These carnal desires are not appreciated by the Church, and might also cause problems out of the marital bed...
Wroth
The fifth deadly sin is Wrath, 'Ira', and this character certainly has a hot temper.
Deceitful
This character has a manipulative and dishonest nature - an excellent trait for spymasters... as long as they remain loyal.
Craven
This character is a craven and a coward.
Ambitious
Ambitious characters work harder, making them better at everything. However, their drive to reach the top means they tend to make poor vassals...
Arbitrary
This character could not care less about justice - a character flaw that is not appreciated by vassals and courtiers.
Cruel
This character is an evil sadist, taking pleasure in the suffering of others.
Wounded
This character has been seriously injured, but the damage should heal, given time.
