### Krampus: Prehistory - ~350 BCE

Originally named Krampos, this satyr was the first child of the love affair between the satyr god Pan and his goddess lover Eupheme. Krampos was regularly outshined by his younger brother Krotos who became a legendary archer and lover of the Muses. Krotos would go on to become known as the Sagittarius, and would be forever memorialized with stellar recognition but no one ever sang songs about his older, uglier brother who made the legendary bow Krotos used.

Krampos was a member of the Panes, the chiefs of the satyr tribes, but though he was honored and revered among his own kind due to his parentage, he was often neglected by both the gods and their human worshippers alike. As his tribe was found at the northern reaches of the domain of the Olympians' rule, his shipments of nektar and ambrosia were few and far between, forcing him and his kind to find alternative, less-fulfilling means of sustaining their immortality. It was a rugged sort of existence for an immortal being.

When the Olympians abandoned Earth, the message never reached Krampos and his tribe. His entire tribe would die off, leaving Krampos the lone survivor — having survived by merit of his divine parentage alone. As Krampos grew old and haggard, he abandoned his tribal lands when he finally heard the Olympians were gone. As the iconic look of satyrs had been branded by Christians to be the mark of the devil, Krampos fled north to where other so-called "pagan" practices were still observed.

### Krampus: ~350 - 1500's

When the Aesir tribe of daimons found Krampos wandering through their lands, they invited him to live with them in their home, Asgard. First Krampos was treated as something of a curiosity, but he was soon honored as they believed him to be some descendant of their sacred goat Heidrun whose milk was used in the mead the Aesir drank.

Krampos lived a comfortable life among the Aesir for about a century. At first he worked as a miner, mining coal for trading with the dwarves but he soon graduated to working as the stablemaster for the Aesir prince.

At a great feast involving the joining the Aesir and the Vanir, all guests were asked to bring gifts. Krampos had forgotten to bring a gift and was paired with a trickster god who had also arrived without a gift. The two were told to make the brides laugh as punishment. The two were forced to compete in a variety of humiliating games, including a particularly rowdy tug of war in which the beard was to be tied to the rope. Krampos was the victor (though he did get quite the unfair advantage simply because the trickster was clean-shaven and the trickster's brother had decided to get back at his brother for past tricks by suggesting the rope be tied to another body part in lieu of the beard), and after the feast, Krampos was met by one of the wedding's grooms who turned out to be Boreas — the Olympians' god of winter and the north wind.

Boreas and Krampos struck up quite the conversation and became good friends. By the time Boreas had decided to leave the Norse gods, Krampos had been working as Boreas' stablemaster and decided to join him and his wife Skadi in their exile.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) Despite their appearance, Satyrs and Nymphs are the same subspecies of Daimon. Almost all males of the species are satyrs while almost all females are nymphs. Sometimes they are known as Floral (Nymphs) and Faunal (Satyrs) Daimons but as not all nymphs have a connection to vegetations the designation can be misleading and is not widely used.
* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) These are some fun facts about Krampus:
	+ Krampus loves a good schnapps. It's about the only thing that can put an instant smile on this grumpy guy's face.
	+ He has a fondness for good kids, but he cannot stand the bratty ones. He's been known to spank misbehaving children, slap those that talk disrespectfully to their parents or elders, and used to be quite quick with a birch rod — but he's since mellowed out a bit, adapting to the times. Still, he is not afraid to discipline naughty children.
	+ If you think he's harsh with kids, Krampus has been known to drag abusive parents from their beds at night to scare them, beat them, and/or lock them out of the house in an attempt to curb their bad behavior.
	+ The Nazi party banned celebrations for Krampus after several officers were found beaten to death with birch sticks with coal soot on their uniforms and goat tracks in the dirt nearby. Coincidence? You decide.
