Character Descriptions

[Folgore]

Timon Arrhidaeos
Strategos

Background:

Timon was born 23 years ago to a relatively unimportant Syrian civil servant and his wife in Damascus. His life took a drastic turn when in 279 Ptolemy II took over the city and his father was made the chief administrator of Damascus's most important district. Over the next five years, his father's keen administrative skills earned him several promotions, making him one of the most influential men in Damascus. The Seleucid invasion of 274 however, forced the Arrhidaeos family to flee to Alexandreia, as Damascus fell to the enemy.

Since then, Timon has devoted himself to the liberation of his city, learning the arts of war and using his family's influence to steer the attention of the kingdom's politicians to Koile-Syria. Although Timon is, like his father, at heart very much a bureaucrat and not much of a warrior, he will stop at nothing to get Damascus under Ptolemaic rule once more. Considering his family's good position in Ptolemaic society primarily a result of Ptolemy II's conquest of the city 10 years ago, he is a strong supporter of the Basileus and fiercely loyal to him.
