Description

A very short man, somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 and a half feet. He has a craggy face, with a nose that's flattened at the bridge and slightly upturned at the tip, and a strong jaw that's usually covered in a 5 o'clock shadow. His bright blue eyes are set deep under heavy brows. His mop of brown hair is tousled falling across his forehead carelessly, and laugh lines crinkle the corners of his eyes.

Crisply pressed black scholarly robes are worn over a navy blue oxford shirt and neatly belted, pleated trousers. Polished black wingtips shod his feet and single band of gold marked with several intricate runes is worn on his right index finger. Ever present in his right hand is a staff of spiraling wood, from the top of the staff dangle some small pouches, talismans and vials that jingle and clink with any movement. If it weren't for this noise his movement would be quite silent.

Background

Born blind and a dwarf and abandoned at St. Mungo's, Manto Mopsus has never had it easy. But he never let that deter him, not even when his gift for prophecy complicated his life further.

At 51 years old Praxis Rosier nee Weaver never thought having a bastard was in her stars. Praxis was very young when she married Glenn Rosier and had her first child. Glenn was quite a bit older than she was and she was a widow quite young. A model of decorum Praxis kept to herself and her children. It wasn't until they were grown did she allow herself a nice vacation with some of her old school friends. They went on a cruise and a very young, very handsome fortune teller on the ship, Armando Mopsus, made her feel very very young and foolish. That foolish feeling turned to shame when Praxis didn't realize she was pregnant until she found herself in her bathroom giving birth to a son that was so very small and so weak. She wrapped him in a towel and placed him in a shoe box. It was an afterthought to scribble a name on a bit of scrap paper and put it in with the child. She left the baby in the waiting room of St. Mungos. She pretended to notice the baby and pointed it out to another waiting patient who in turn brought it to the nurses attention. That was the last time Praxis saw her youngest child. She kept track of him but never brought herself to tell anyone about his existence and she took the knowledge to the grave twenty years after he was secretly born.
