DEMOSTENES LUTECE
famously known as
DEMOSTENES THE PEACEKEEPER

Demostenes was raised by a group of scholars. When Atlantis fell, all of it's history, literature, art, and culture went with it. But in the legends, it was said that a giant owl named Demostenes, who had the ability to communicate telepathically, guarded the libraries of Atlantis. When the demons attacked and everyone was fleeing or being captured, the scholars packed up a few select scrolls and tables on Demostenes' back and he successfully took them to safety. A handful of scholars were able to leave with Demostenes while the other perished or were captured. It was these scholars that guarded the scrolls, the only thing they had left of Atlantis, and took them to the mountains where they would be safe. They separated themselves from the rest of society, only coming down from the mountains into the city to preach about the wonders of Atlantis every five years, so that the wizards would not forget their lost city. However, over time, these began to dwindle, going from ten years, to twenty, to no one ever seeing from them again. The survivors eventually forgot about Atlantis, along with the scholars of the mountains, until they became nothing but a legend.

As it turns out, the scholars repopulated...and repopulated...and repopulated, until they eventually became a small following. They resembled a cult, believing themselves to be the 'true race of Wizards'and ultimately superior to everyone else, since only they knew about the truth of Atlantis. They had stopped their visits to the slums, in fear that they would somehow become more intelligent than them and try to take their beloved scrolls, something they saw as a religious symbol. The scholars were not dangerous though and made no move to attack anyone; the only thirst they had was for knowledge. Their children were brought up with the same values and were taught to worship the scrolls daily. But still, they were poisonous to be around and had been driven insane in their isolation.

Demostenes had stuck around at first, living out his oath to protect the scrolls of Atlantis, but the insanity of the scholars eventually got to him and he left, flying off into the sky, never to be seen again. The first person who entered Demostenes' cavern after his disappearance found a crying baby boy in there, laying in the bed of parchments, and immediately took him to the Elder scholar. The baby was named after the owl, who he was believed to be personified from, and was also believed to be the spirit of Atlantis itself. The Elder raised Demostenes, teaching him the old way of life and gave him an education worthy of a king. The rest of the mountain tribe treated him like Jesus, saying at a simple touch from him would cure any disease and fix any problem. This of course was the insanity talking and Demostenes possessed no such power. While it is still a mystery as to how he appeared in that cavern, the only outstanding thing about him was his intellect.

But much like the one he was named after, Demostenes got fed up with the mountain tribe. Their insanity and crazy rituals were just too much for him and he longed to leave to explore the outside world. All his life he had been lectured about the undesirables that resided at the bottom of the mountains, but that only fueled his curiosity even more, until he got into a fight with the Elder. In an act of desperation, Demostenes threatened to burn every single scroll they had, and since he was the only one who remembered them word for word, he would be the only one to remember Atlantis. This was a fate worse than death to the scholars and they let him leave, putting up no resistance as he left. With nothing but the clothes on his back, Demostenes ventured down the mountain in search of new life.

Coincidentally, it was during this time that Fai was preparing the other wizards for an attack on the demons. At first he had stayed in the background, observing how the wizards lived and interacted with each other. After all, he was raised by crazed scholars who believed he was an incarnation of an owl and the last thing he wanted to do was make everyone think he was crazy too. It took months of waiting and watching and learning, but right before Fai was ready to depart to the rouge world, Demostenes finally spoke up and offered to go with them. He claimed that he was from a town close by and had heard about their journey to the demon world and wanted to come. Whether they believed him or not, they agreed and he accompanied them to the rouge world. Unfortunately, he he didn't think that they would be attacked straight away and if it wasn't for Valhalla Mancini, he would have died five minutes in. When they managed to escape the city that they had landed in, he admitted that he didn't know how to fight and that his magical strength was close to non-existent, but for whatever he lacked in strength, he made up with his mind. Straight off the bat he showed Fai a blueprint and a plan to rescue his kidnapped friend, only having ran past the building they kept him in as they were leaving. Though the plan was not successful, since he had already been sold off, this seemed to regain trust within the group and from there on, Demostenes made up the plans of attack.

Throughout the fifteen years, he rarely saw the battlefield, preferring to stay behind in the camps and oversee the battle from a distance. But the very few times his presence was necessary on the filed, he stayed close to either Valhalla or Angelveion for protection. He grew quite fond of his teammates and developed good relationships with each one of them. They were the key pieces to his plans and without them, none of his strategies would work. His strongest relationship was with Fai of course, their leader, and in the few years that they had fought and planned together, they had become the best of friends. He even admitted to Fai, and then later to everyone else, about his true origins and was surprised when they didn't get mad at him for deceiving them during their first meeting.

After the war, Demostenes continued working closely with Fai and helped him create Wiz, along with the other generals. He was given the name Demostenes the PeaceKeeper because of his ability to sooth any solider who got frustrated and restless in the camps with just his words. He also managed to end most of Valhallas and Azazel's conflicts with a few choice words or a simple glare. When Wiz was fully established and the memories of war had settled, Demostenes returned to the mountains of his birth to bring back the scholars to the new world...only to find it empty. The caverns were bare and the scrolls were gone, along with Atlantis' history. The years of war had washed away any knowledge of Atlantis from his mind and he could hardly remember anything that was written on them. But he was faithful in Wiz and in Fai and that whatever Wiz would become in the future would be a thousand times better than whatever Atlantis used to be. Still, he left a note, just incase anyone came back, telling about his journey to the rouge world and their victory over the demons and his new location on Wiz. No one ever showed up from the old world and the scholar's fates were left unknown.

As Fai, now Belizano, ruled as King, Demostenes became his advisor and guided him throughout the years. He remained by the King's side during the years that followed and was one of his most trusted associates. Outliving Angelveion, Valhalla and Pemendree, Demostenes also outlived his king and was at his bedside when he passed. It occurred to him during these years, that maybe the scholars hadn't been as crazy as they seemed since he hadn't aged like his friends. While he watched Pemendree's fiery red hair turn grey and Valhalla's bones crack, he remained just as he had during the war. It had gotten to the point where he would have to use his magic to change his appearance to that of an older man. After the King's passing, Demostenes left the castle and the Main City. Before he left, he told Azazel, his only living friend, that he was going on a 'journey of self exploration' and that he would return soon, but that would be the last that anyone would see of him.

Fifty years later, a mysterious figure turned up at the castle's gates and proclaimed to be Demostenes' son. This man was named Demarcus and took over his father's previous role as advisor. This Demarcus is the same that will become Belantino's advisor, making him [i]much[/i] older than originally thought.[/center]
