Lord Bristolus Hermes of Canterbury

Lord Bristolus Hermes is the man who brought an end to the tear between the Lower and Middle Sanctuaries. He sits upon the seal that keeps the darkness at bay, a solitary guardian bound to his duty. As one of the Twelve Guardians of the realm, he is an overseer who protects Selenia from the malevolent forces that once threatened to consume it. However, this role came at a great personal cost. Bristolus can never leave Canterbury Castle, imprisoned within its ancient walls to watch over the seal and ensure that the horrors beneath remain contained.
A necromancer of great power, Lord Bristolus is perhaps one of the most benevolent liches known in Selenia. His mastery of forbidden necromantic arts, wielded out of desperation to save the world, has rendered him a skeletal figure, though he remains impeccably dressed and regal in appearance. His transformation was not just physical; he became a living conduit of arcane might, forever bound to the essence of the seal he guards.
Before his transformation, Bristolus was known for his strikingly handsome mortal form. His chiseled features and charismatic presence made him a highly sought-after figure, with many admirers vying for his attention and seeking to court him. His allure extended beyond his looks; his enigmatic power and deep sense of duty drew many to him.
Bristolus is not entirely alone in his eternal vigil. He is accompanied by a black cat named Talos, who often follows him about the castle. There are persistent rumors that Talos is not truly a cat, though these whispers have yet to be proven true. Talos's presence provides a semblance of companionship to the otherwise solitary warden of Canterbury Castle.
Despite the grim nature of his existence, Lord Bristolus Hermes's sacrifice and unyielding dedication are recognized and honored by the Council of Twelve Roses. They decreed that he would remain within the castle's walls, not as a prisoner, but as a guardian and warden of the darkness imprisoned below. His story is one of profound sacrifice, a testament to the lengths to which one will go to protect their realm from unspeakable evil.
