Cerebus Promaterius

Cerebus Promatarius is a fighter who was born with, or at the very least developed whilst still a baby, Psionic capabilities.

Personality
Cerebus as a person is stunted socially due to his upbringing. He doesn't usually mesh well with others socially, always electing to keep working for the military, even when offered leave for rest and recuperation. He is however able and capable of integrating in professional settings.

Early Life
[REDACTED] (until revealed).

Deployments
Once declared Psionic combat capable at the age of 17, Cerebus has seen multiple combat deployments in both solo and team capacity. Cerebus is deemed suitable for black morality missions, seemingly unfazed emotionally by most things, as a result of his early life.

Cerebus has served with various arms of the Imperial military, particularly specialist Auxilia. He has served alongside joint operations with the Auxilia Select, here he met and worked alongside Vexus and Aelia at certain times. He has also served with the Tutelia Cognata in their investigations, meeting and working with Diana at one point.

Goodbye Ruuki
Cerebus was picked up by Aelia and Arannis. After a quick introduction was made, they began a long journey back to the rest of the Auric Lodge.

Horogonir
Cerebus recieved a warm welcome by the Auric Lodge proper, in the form of immediately seeing a few of them in a heated argument. Cerebus stood by awkwardy and immediately questioned if serving with the Auric Lodge was a good idea if this is how things were going to be.

During the night watches, Cerebus chatted with Diana. Due to them serving with each other before now, things were nostalgic and pleasant. Diana helped to ease the immediate concern that Cerebus had by arguing that the Lodge members would not argue like this if they didn't care for each other. Tensions were high at the moment because they had just lost Ruuki, Tantina was still seemingly far out of reach and they were on a strict time limit. Diana convinced Cerebus that things would be very different in combat situations and that he had nothing to worry about.

Making their way deeper into the Fey-tainted forests, the group came across some living spells. Cerebus would reveal his Psionic nature for the first time and help put these entities down. Shortly afterward, Max was grabbed by a very well hidden Centipede creature and eaten. Cerebus would jump up into the tree with his Psionics and wrestle Max out of the creatures mouth, saving his life.

On Edge
Heading even further into the Fey-tainted forest, the group came across a wooden statue. Cerebus worked alongside Arannis to determine what the statue was and how it came to be. Possibly a person who was caught by some kind of arrow and slowly transformed into the wooden statue as a result of the blow.

Cerebus then stood by as the party interacted with a strange slug creature, who proceeded to request to slither on Max's head, which it was somehow allowed to do. After the slug left, the party were attacked by groups of savage butterflies, which Cerebus helped to put down, not before doing a number to the party.

After a short rest the party moved on. Only to get things stolen from them by invisible fey creatures. Cerebus lost his potion of watchful rest to them. Afterward Cerebus would help the party decide on a direction to move in to get to the centre of the stone circle that seemed to be forming from the stones that had been found so far.

An interlude with Vila Ven
The Party feels a cold that they had felt before, before Cerebus had joined. Cerebus alongside the others investigated the scene and discovered it had been sat on a branch that it seemed to snap as it left. Aelia tagged it with her senses, revealing its location and eventually it bagan to fight. During the fight it revealed its ghostly nature, Cerebus was aged 10 years by the ghost. Eventually it was taken down by an angered Cerebus, jumping up with his psychic power and slamming it with his new maul.

The party sit down to camp and discuss the situation. Diana wants out completely as the group have no clear plan and are far off track of their original mission. Cerebus somewhat agrees with Diana's conclusions but as the new member doesn't really feel like he can make a massive objection himself at the moment. It was discussed that the spell could be cast to fix the aging that Cerebus recieved during the fight. But it was thought that the resources could be spared for something more pressing in the coming days. Although slightly understanding, Cerebus was not appreciative of the notion that 10 years of aging was not too big of a deal to them. It would eventually be pressed that this was indeed a massive deal and that if it was possible, the aging of a soul should be reversed.

During that night, the party were visited by a very mysterious figure who called herself Vila Ven. Cerebus was not awake for it and indeed slept through the entire exchange. Upon waking up he noticed that Aelia suddenly had her leg back and other party members that spoke to her had permanent scars and wounds fixed during the weird encounter. Cerebus' aging was reversed by Max and the party moved on.

Daughters of the Mountain
Upon moving out Cerebus and the others spotted some strange movements in the forest just ouside of camp range. A gargantuan snakelike entity had slitered around the camps edge, supposedly watching. The party are weary of what might have been if they were less careful during the night. Afterward a clearing is discovered with another rock sat in the middle. Cerebus notes that this doesn't really match the projected circle that the stones should form. It immediately becomes apparent as to why when Aelia and Aquilla sit atop the rock, immediately devoured by teeth and eyes, the rock being nothing more than a mimic in the forest.Cerebus helped as the group came to Aelia's aid and the mimic was defeated.

Moving on from this, mere feet from the mimic fight, some creatures from another plane approach the party. If it not for Max's sound persuasiveness, it could have been another battle. Instead they yearned to be sent home, Max responded in kind by banishing them, granting them their wish. Watching on from afar the party spotted a Daughter of the Mountain, confirming the thought that they were always watching and perhaps taking measure of the group. The daughter immediately sunk back into the stone.

Walking on a little more the group were ambushed by Fey-tainted flying scorpions with strange psychic powers. Cerebus fought with the party and they were swiftly dispatched and a short break was taken. Discussing if some strange fruits from the forest should be eaten or not. It was decided that it was fine and the party enjoyed something other than base rations for a change. Cerebus showed off a little by eating one with psionic flare.

After more travel, and several long dead Orcs investigated, the final stone circle in the centre of the forest was found. With a little clever magic, Max discovered a Daughter lying in wait inside one of the stones. A small conversation was had with another daughter who made her presence known. They had Tantina, and were potentially open to giving her back if the party proved themselves. Battle commenced, if you were knocked out then you could be brought back, but couldn't rejoin the battle. At the end only Arannis and Tantina were left standing, perhaps rather fittingly. Tantina put Arannis to sleep. Battle over.
