Personality: Hestothacles is a stout and stalwart individual with a firm set of moral codes and ethics and beliefs. Patient and tolerant he mostly keeps to his own work and studies as much as possible but is known to socialize frequently with like minded people, he holds a secret disdain for Spartans and their endless hubris towards their fellow greeks. Although not known for fits of rage, if provoked, he will use his big stature and large hands to try and pummel the agitator into the ground until he stops moving. He is a bit rough around the edges but ultimately equally fair towards all of his peers lest they become his enemy for any reason.
History: Hestothacles was born to a family of four, being the eldest brother in his family he had taken up most of the responsibilities around the household and around his younger siblings. From a young age He was interested in the art of crafting weapons and armor, fortunately his father owned a smithy which allowed him to study and pursue the art of Blacksmithing. In addition to this he did go to a school from a young age where he learned the basics of Politics, Philosophy, Geometry, Mathematics, Astronomy and several skills such as Wrestling and Horseback Riding as well as Javelin throwing and a bit of Athletics. When he turned of age his father decided that his bright son who was an excellent student had a brighter future at Paideia Alpha rather than at home and so he was sent from home.
