Biography
Family
- Jacob/Otetiani ("He Who is Prepared") is a mixed race Onondaga Iroquois. Ie he has a range of ethniticies from his parents, but considers himself Iroquois (his mother is Iroquois and they trace their heritage matrilineal-y). Jacob is what he tells Europeans his name is, he doesn't share his "real" name (only Sophie knows it of the PCs).
- Those parental ethnicities are Scots-Irish and Onondaga from his mother, and French and Caribbean/West African from his father.
- His Scots-Irish grandfather is your stereotypical grizzled old pioneer, he might be still alive, he might not - up to you. He fought in the previous war. His native grandmother is still around.
- His half-Iroquois mother is a clan mother, one of the electors in the tribe and a politically connected and powerful woman in her own right.
- His mulatto French father is a mercenary, both charismatic and driven by his passions but also totally amoral, in other words a Magnificent Bastard (in the vein of Marshal Rangard and Richard Masson).
- He has no siblings (his younger sister died in infancy), but has a host of cousins (those on his mother's side are called "brother" and "sister" in the native style).
Warfare
- When he was 14 he responded to the call amongst the Confederacy to aid the British in their struggle against the French (and the Iroquois traditional enemies).
- Served as a scout and pathfinder for a colonial ranger-designated provincial militia.
- His unit saved the survivor's of Dowling's unit after they were betrayed by their own scouts.
Connections
- He had a mentor, Sooleawa ("Silver" in her native Algonquian) a shaman whom he called "grandmother" (she was more accurately a great aunt) who was a Thrysus Arrow.
- Some time shortly after her Awakening, he stumbled upon Sophie (Kerstin's character) in the wilderness and rescued her from some Huron braves who were intending to take her captive. Sophie then spent a couple of months recuperating in his village and was adoped into the tribe and received some initial instruction from the shaman mentor.
- Sooleawa was murdered by a spirit manipulated by a European mage.
- He's on a vengeance trail with Sophie to find the mage who killed his mentor (which means he's shaved the sides of his head). He's also oath-sworn to kill Sophie if she goes crazy - something promised in those early days of their acquaintance - which is one of the reasons, besides her being his "sister" that he sticks around.
