August Beedle | FC: Pedro Pascal | TAKEN
Age: 712 Species: Pooka Faerie Court: Solitary Occupation: Chieftain of the Fox Clan Gender: Cis Man Pronouns: He/Him
Appearance
August would almost appear like any noble at the court, if not for the slightly wild and unkept look about him. The King of Thieves is a vain man, decorating himself with his loot. Some have gazed long and hard at the rings on August’s fingers, or an earring glinting in his ear, puzzled by how similar the trinket looks to something they’ve lost. August fancies himself to be as sophisticated as any lord, his glittering things and finely cut garb proclaiming him as the true king of thieves.
August is quick to joke and compliment. He smiles often. The fae chieftain is good at feigning kindness or interest if it will benefit him in the end. It is hard to know what he is truly thinking due to his acting skills and well woven lies. His face may say one thing, while his mind says another. The smell of magic hangs around August like a cloud, hinting at his powerful magic ability. His pet lynx, Lyka is often winding around his legs, at times becoming possessive of her master’s time.
Personality
August is not a man to be trusted. Any treaty or deal made with him is only kept if it continues to benefit him or his clan. The Fox Clan are primarily thieves, feared by any traveling on the roads in the wild lands. August is often called The King of Thieves, a title he relishes. But, those who don’t know August for the trickster he is can easily be lured in by his silver tongue and charms. August is a man of many faces, morphing his persona to those around him and saying what they want to hear. August most often appears relaxed and in good spirits, quick to joke or laugh. But, there is something far more calculating beneath the surface. August would just as easily laugh at a joke as he would laugh over the body of an enemy. The Fox Clan chieftain is a skilled pick-pocketer, quick with his hands and sly in his actions. August’s greed is vast. He is always hungry for more, willing to take risks in his strategy if it means attaining more wealth. The faerie is clever, using his smarts to outwit others. August has no qualms with underhanded tactics or playing dirty, believing honor to be overrated. The solitary faerie has succeeded in many of the things he has attempted to accomplish, in large part due to the fact that he would do things others wouldn’t to reach his goals.
Background
August was once the right-hand man to the chieftain of the Fox Clan, appearing to be a loyal subject. But, in the shadows August used his position to gather allies, making promises and negotiating terms to start a coup that would place him as chieftain. His clever plan proved to be fruitful, August able to murder the leader of the Fox Clan and take the clan for himself. August keeps his men happy with a cut of the profits. They are loyal to him, knowing if they do well their leader will always throw a bone to his underlings. The Fox clan are thieves by trade, making much of their money through thievery. They are responsible for most of the carriage robberies and muggings that occur in the Wildlands.
August’s ambitious nature drove him to make an alliance with the Unseelie court when the Fae War broke out. He knew they would be in need of strong soldiers, promising them many of his most powerful spellcasters to aid them in the fight against the Seelie court. During this time, August had a brief but passionate affair with Kasha Greywolf, the leader of the Wolf Clan. But, the two ended on bad terms, forming a rift between the two clans. Kasha and August are known to even snub one another at public events. Since the war ended, August has taken advantage of his new connections, sucking up to those he finds useful. The Unseelie court has made him a very rich man. His vacation home in the Unseelie court, only an hour carriage ride from the Fox Clan camp, has become famous for its wild parties. Bonfires, nudity, dancing and drinking are a day in the life. August is a known cassanova, hosting many of the rich and famous in his home and his bed.
