Bio
Born to an unknown lower-class family, Eric was never destined for greatness. It simply found him. He lost his family at a young age, leaving him homeless, but he was adopted by a man named James Artemis, who taught him the arts of leadership and politics. His teachings granted him superhuman intellect and charisma, making him one of the world's most famous child prodigies. By the age of ten, he had already become an Inquisitor, a prosecutor in the royal court. Many found themselves wondering just what the future had in store for the boy, but no Inquisitor had ever become king before ... no one expected the true outcome.
Artemis and Eric led a masterful conspiracy that culminated in the overthrowing of the old king and the crowning of the young boy. He was easily passed off as the royal family's last successor, the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Santonius' throne. Within a year after that, he had unified the human kingdoms into the Kingdom of Man.
Artemis has taught Santonius a great many things besides the art of politics. He has also been tutored in magic, swordfighting, and blending into a crowd. The latter skill, in particular, is used quite often by the king, who lives amongst his people, traveling in drab civilian clothing. The face of the King of Men - the one the public is familiar with - is actually that of Artemis.
Personality
He is a Machiavellian ruler, widely hailed as brilliant and wise. His capacity for honor and respect is matched only by his capacity for guile and deception. For him, the ends justify the means, as he has no qualms with using people or speaking in lies and half-truths as long as it helps him accomplish his goals of upholding peace and strengthening the economy.
This wise and prosperous rule means that the shady origins of his rise to power have been all but forgotten, and the Kingdom of Man has happily flourished under his banner. One could even argue that he singlehandedly saved the world. He has united nearly 95% of the human race under the allegiance of his Kingdom, co-authored the Truce with the Council of Otherkin, and was the central figure behind the planning and building of Harmonia.
Because of what he has accomplished, Santonius has achieved almost legendary status. He is still in his prime and has great plans for the future of his kingdom. Perhaps, in some number of centuries, he will be spoken of with the same sort of fondness and reverence that is held for Arthuras Ti'Nell.
History
Santonius is a relatively new character, and was pretty much a self-cameo of Raptor at first, but eventually became an independent character, not to mention one of the most important ones in Blood And Fire.
