Strange character

[Pharnakes]

Look at this guy:




Lets see, he has:

Casual Adulterer
Gynaikonomos
Filthy minded
and to top it all off, a mistress.

And then he is a devout worshiper of the divine huntress?

I mean, honestly what an inapropriate choice

[Dumbass]

He may be a devout worshiper because he's dirty enough to fantasize about a deity.

[Hax]

I think Pharnakes should get a balloon for uploading this :P

[tapanojum]

Rapist

[Tellos Athenaios]

No the only reason why he is Choreutes Artemidos is the simple fact that he is from the core of the Artemis worshipping Ionians of Sardis.

[Pharnakes]

I realise this, it wasn't in anyway a complaint about EB, I just thought it was funny, and that others might think the same.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Casual Adulterer
Gynaikonomos
Filthy minded
and to top it all off, a mistress.

Sounds to me like the description of the average guy next door. If you have the opportunity (and EB generals have), you'll become an adulterer. If I was an EB general, I would generally go after all my female slaves. And why not, I could.

[Callicles]

And why not, I could.

Gyges would be proud.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Gyges would be proud.

Did he have hottie slaves?

[Callicles]

Did he have hottie slaves?

He had everything.

And then he is a devout worshiper of the divine huntress?

Most likely she has quite an orgiastic cult? there were quite a lot of those in greece and especially asia

[Pharnakes]

Though I know nothing of the facts, I hardly think it very likely.

[Maeran]

A goddess who jealously and violently guards her chastity? Mysiakes likes a challenge, I suppose.

This seemed like a good thread to celebrate my latest foe. Theodoros the Lame, Archon of the Koinen Hellonen, and Rhodes' greatest living son.

After my second Punic war, I found an interesting situation in Greece. The poor Macedones and Epirotes were being threatened with annihilation by the power mad, rich Koinen Hellonen. The Koinen were also harbouring a Carthaginian general who had attempted to invade Italy but chickened out. When Epirus crumbled with the death of their last FM, I had to intercede of course.

After a campaign that went pretty much to plan, after only five years, I held all of Greece and Macedon (the Macedonians lost all their homelands and wouldn't accept them back from me) I was besieging Demetrias, the last Koinen holdouton the mainland. I was joined by a decent Macedonian army and the Greeks were backed up by their Faction Leader, Theodoros.

I took the city, and am now wondering if I should give Macedon and Thessaly back to my Macedonian (well, now just Lesbos) friends. But I was gratified to see that Theodoros survived the battle, although his son died at the hands of my hastati. I force diplomacied peace on the stubborn old goat, because I think he deserves to live the rest of his life with his hetaira and maybe his wife sometimes.

As I said, he's from Rhodes. He is 54 years old and faction leader.

Among other ancillaries, he has a doctor who is very busy and a 'hetaira hyperkalles.' He is an Olympic victor (his son competed but lost) and considered brave and a connoisseur of fine things. He knows how to throw a party, and has been made president of the festivals.

A dedicated worshipper of Apollo, he keeps a unit of Cretan archers with him and has clearly dedicated himself more than once.

He is scarred, one-eyed, lamed and has a wooden leg (presumably not the one he's lame in).

Despite what may be seen as a pirate's appearance, he fights with his hoplites and his troops are confident, despite having lost the whole of mainland Greece.

Perhaps the old warmonger will do something stupid, but I hope he catches a ship to Rhodes to end his days in peace.

I've decided to call him Theodoros Xylopus. 'The lame' just doesn't do him justice.

[antisocialmunky]

Xylopus

We need pictures... and a photoshop of a pirate hoplite.

[Maeran]

Xylopus

Far too late in my day to go drawing in peg legs on generals, but I've quickly given him a patch.
