Cetus

Not to be confused with the ninth month of the calendar (which is named after him), Cetus is considered a minor deity within The Grand Pantheon. 
The former prince of the Autumn Court of the feywild, he was originally a changeling that was to be sent to the material plane, he was taken in by Titania and she treated him like a son, though he had an estranged relationship with Oberon. Cetus was rather beloved by the courts, known to be a rather warm figure among the fey. His fall came as a mortal arrived in the feywild, one that he grew attached to and fell for. However, Oberon took the mortal into his clutches.
It is said that Cetus’s heart turned to ice as the mortal rejected his affection, and he ripped his own heart out before he began a self imposed exile in the material plane. Some believe that this was due to a deal gone sour with Oberon. He hasn’t been seen since, though he does linger as whisperings of a frost fey occasionally grace myth and legend.
== The Suneaters ==
It is unclear what Cetus was doing on Valdesoth prior to kidnapping children from Ethlamal, but at some point in time Cetus created a pocket plane, an exact replica of the Autumn Court in the Feywild. This replica was effected by frost magic, though unbeknownst to Cetus, this frost came from his own lack of heart rather than Oberon’s magic.
Many of his followers, notably three hags that maintained the Autumnal Pocket Plane, remained as part of his court, though a shell of what it once was as they joined him on Valdesoth.
As a changeling, Cetus began to steal children from Ethlamal, often under the guise of a child and leading them into the woods in the east. While he treated the children fairly well he was always rather emotionally distant with them and knew he needed a proper caretaker for them. This is why he kidnapped Theodoric Floralis when the Suneaters arrived to town. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one who had his eyes on the shifter, as Ulydyrix also wanted him for other as yet to be known reasons by the party.
== Relationships ==
====== Theodoric Floralis ======
A complicated and confused relationship, what was originally one of captor and captive become more of a companionship over the two months that Theodoric Floralis spent in the Autumnal Pocket Plane. Floralis’s good nature rubbed off on Cetus in ways he wasn’t aware were possible, giving him a sense of care and empathy that he thought he tore out with his heart.
