## Appearances

### *Rewritten*

Glaucous Oldman made his first appearance in "The Blizzard Wizards" in a flashback scene depicting his death. Glaucous had briefly served as the first Councillor of the Brrrgh before his death only a few months after Toontown's settlement. He was noted as a noble and war hero back in Cartonia.

### *War*

After three seasons, Glaucous returned in "Suddenly the Skies Darkened*."*In November 709, Leprolia was at war with the Summer Sun. After Gallix was invaded by its allies and Poultrus III was killed, the remaining members of the Petukinau royal family sought refuge in Leprolia. Glaucous, along with his elder brother Sterling Oldman and father King Cottontail IX, made the decision not to harbor the Petukinaus for fear of extreme retribution from the warring states. They had the Petukinaus killed quietly and shipped back to the Summer Sun.

In "In the Trenches of Despair," during the assault on Capricon, Glaucous led the 711 Siege of Hornhall, occupied by Prince Ralph Hornover. After five months, Ralph Hornover surrendered but begged mercy for the survivors of the brutal attack. Though Glaucous granted it, he almost immediately ordered the Granite Bloc soldiers to kill all occupants on the grounds that Hornhall had been a brothel. Though this was untrue, there were no survivors.

Glaucous continued his assault on Capricon into the autumn of 711, finally reaching the capital of Baahaa in "Fall as Lucifer Fell." He and his father, King Cottontail IX, oversaw the Capricovian surrender of Edward XIV and his family. Glaucous was known thereafter as the victor of the Battle for the Jewel.

Glaucous and his son, Azure Oldman, led the charge in a battle against Cervidium in 718 ("Something Wicked"). The deer launched a gas that infected Azure, giving him the power to control snow. Glaucous was not aware of this affliction, and his son did not tell him. After the fall of Leprolia in 723, Glaucous and his family fled to Canis.

In 725, Glaucous and his family were selected as passengers on the expedition south. By this point, Glaucous had learned that his son was a BioFreak, and was supportive. In "The Good Must Associate," Glaucous was seen packing with his family. He joined the passengers as they left Canis on November 3, 725, in "Bless My Homeland." They reached the Dam on November 11, where Glaucous lost many members of his family in the Dam's collapse. Glaucous escaped with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law. With the death of his brother, Cottontail X, Glaucous became the de facto heir to Leprolia.

Glaucous wandered the Expanse with his family in "Until I Die" for a year, finally reaching the site that would become Toontown. As one of the most senior members of the party and a royal, Glaucous was involved in the first drafting of the town's constitution. Glaucous opposed most of the reforms, including the abolition of monarchies. Nonetheless, Glaucous's protestations were overruled and the town's democratic framework was solidified. Glaucous was appointed as the first councillor from the Brrrgh, but he died three months into his term. Azure succeeded him.

## Trivia

* Glaucous's first appearance is noted as "The Blizzard Wizards" even though he's dead the whole time.
