Kaltor Mireauvirre (Seok Tal-hae)

"I am old and have seen much of world's underbelly. Its unsavory horrors are more sorrowful than rage inducing anymore. I have found that in the end there is peace in the quite moments, it is one of the few pleasures that I have left."

## Description

Kaltor is a slim, effeminate, Korean man. His hair drapes down to his ankles though it's usually in decorative braids with ribbons, beads and baubles, it's a vibrant shade of teal. His movements are graceful and agile in both gesture and the way he walks. He is unhurried in all things and speaks stylistically similar to 1700's/1800's English. His accent in English is mild and reminiscent of Korean as his native language is long dead but is its ancestor. He is both alluring and cool, his expressions mild and controlled during the most dire of situations. He has a lion like tail that he likes to decorate with a bell, though he will occasionally use a bow as a replacement or anything else he thinks of as pretty, he takes suggestions. He wears very mild makeup, often keeping to gold to match the hue of his eyes, or subtle pinks following current Korean trends. He prefers very vibrant clothes and almost always wears heels of varying heights and styles, lace and leather being his favorites.

## Personality

Kaltor tends to quiet formality. He enjoys listening to the chaos of other people, their ups and downs and general excitements. There are few things he dislikes and a lot of things he likes, like reading to himself or aloud, photos, music, snakes, books, and warm hugs. There is a lot of nostalgia present in his day to day existence and it isn't uncommon for him to have a hard time distinguishing what names apply to what people unless he has see it written. He will happily sit with a cup of tea and give advice, ask questions, or listen to anyone's woes but finds it difficult to talk about himself and will try to evade questions out of habit more than purpose. He refuses to lie but due to his long history of politics is quite adapt at dancing with words. Deceivingly laid back for the way he looks, Kaltor takes things and people as they are with the same gentle acceptance he takes everything. Whether it's a crying shoulder, or the need to vent, rough attitudes and rude behavior roll off him. If you want to make him mad the fastest and easiest method is to destroy a book.

## History

Kaltor's real name/identity is Seok Tal-hae of Silla, the 4th king of Silla from the Three Kingdom's Period of Korea. His childhood started in abandonment by his parents which resulted in the the child prince being raised by a poor fishermen in a remote fishing village. He watched the happy folk around him die in poverty yet still share everything they could with him and it broke his heart. He tricked his way back to the throne to claim his birthright and help his adoptive family/village, but lost them in the process. To this day he cares and looked after the small town that raised him.

He fell madly in love and married a Princess in a whirlwind romance. They soon discovered that, not only did Tal-hae not age and had an affinity for the supernatural, they couldn't have children. They were devastated and adopted several children from lands they traded with, such as china and Japan, throughout their life. His wife deeply desired to have a child of his and hers alone having realized her husband would vastly outlive her and wanted him to have something to remember her by and conspired with magic and summoning to try and force the ability. This caught the attention of the Thule who had already been trying to find a hold in the young country. When things went sour and Tal-hae discovered what his wife was doing and the costs she'd paid to gain nothing he fell to pieces, culminating when his wife was murdered and her soul stolen as the price. He has been chasing answers since, unsure of whether she exists with the Thule or if her soul was taken by a demon. At the time of her murder he hunted endlessly to find any clue and found nothing but hints. To this day he hunts through books, looking for any clue to track the whereabouts of her and the doings of the demon who he believes has her soul.

His hunt has led him all around the world and to acquire skills in both surgery and torture. Between the wars he's live through, and the things he has had to do to stay alive, he has become numb to violence and fear, the concept of death being an ending of the fight he's been buried in for over 2,000 years.

Most recently he developed an almost parental friendship with the then child Izaine and was happy to reconnect with the young man at Ravenswood.

* Kaltor has a strong sense of nostalgia, he is most comfortable moving in that realm, whether it's by being in the library, talking in or about one of the countries he's spent the last 2,000 years in or a picnic, he relaxes and drops his guard. Smiling with contentment.

## Relationships

Seong Tal-hae, or Kaltor Mireuvirre as he goes by in this era, does not have very many strong attachments to other students as of yet. He finds most of the students he has met to bright sparks and is curious to see how they grow.

- He has history of friendship to Izaine Mazikross and was at a loss when the young man was consumed by the library. Kaltor is much happier now that Izaine is free and confronting his blood family.

I better run it by Snek Dad first."
