Velasquez

[Status: Deceased]
Real Name: Sensei Christian Rudolfo Velasquez
Title: Sensei
Court: Summer
Mien: A big man with horns and fleshy ears, covered in coarse hair and tattoos of broken chains circling his round arms. His mantle manifests as a flaming crown of chains, and his tattoos turn gold and lift off his skin
Mask: A slovenly man in his forties, adorned with unkempt facial hair and a wild-eyed stare.
Known Information: Sensei Velasquez served overseas, somewhere. He was taken while serving. To somewhere. In every iteration of his jarring and aggressively retold stories about Faerie, the whos, hows, and wheres always change, but not even the Red Victor questions him. Wherever he was, the madman came out roaring--or bleating. He ripped through the Hedge, shredding goblins that so much as looked at him cross-eyed, until he came out in Austin, sometime in 2003. The freehold didn't find him, of course, he found the freehold, and that's an important distinction.
He was younger, then. Slimmer, too, with a full head of hair. Quite the catch, he'll tell you. He joined up with the Summer Court, where then-King Bill Howdy took an inexplicable liking to the semi-satyr.
When Bill disappeared during the Fire of '05, and his whole motley along with him, Velasquez had already fashioned himself as a leader, teaching a spectrum of martial arts to any changeling willing to learn. He assumed the throne, taking the simple title of "Sensei." His power grew when Phobos, the future Wroth General, joined and proved a more than competent strategist, both in war and politics. That power was cemented when Calliope rose to the rank of Red Victor, giving the freehold a proper champion to rally behind that wasn't, well, Sensei.
Though his current strength is derived from powerful underlings, Velasquez remains verbally abusive to everyone in his court, most especially to those highest up: Phobos and Calliope.
Rumors: It's no secret--the state of Velasquez's health is questionable, whether it's from his hard years in Arcadia or his diet of mostly fast food.
