• Rochus, further information

    - Rochus was temporarily her Excellency Ka'Shalee's personal healer and she even entrusted him with the command of her personal bodyguard.

    - He once defended the Ad Astra from the undead alone that night, losing an arm in the process, and on his return first tended to all the other wounded before allowing his body to bear the effects of the wounds.

    - Ing of the Braccar-Keltoi referred to him in the tribal yurt, in front of all present, as the "Greatest Warrior of Mitraspera".

    - When the Almahandra died, Rochus took her blood and mixed it with his own, to keep a remnant of her in his body in this world. Some even call him the "Almahandrochus".

    - The body of Rochus mutated greatly due to the interaction of the old world and the given heiutes of Mitraspera and is still progressing.

    - It is always so dark in the north and the Viribus Unitis because Rochus drinks the lamp oil.

    - Sylvana, former Neches're of the North, kissed him.

    - Her Excellency, Ka'shalee, referred to him as "too important to die" at a ritual on the campaign... in front of all participants... when he willingly offered himself as a sacrifice.

    - He absorbed into Gale's Morgan the entire essence of a monolith of black ice...

    - From time to time Rochus and War Master G'o'r'a't'i'e'l speak in the tongue of demons.

    - Rochus is a kind of living battery for sphere power with hitherto unknown storage capacity.

    - He defeated, despite his age, Drow several times in unarmed combat, even scalping one Drow.

    - Several Fey, including the Mitray-Kor of Change, shun his dreams.

    - He is the only fey to have dreamed himself

    - Rochus could hold a cup of water to Argus

    - He's been aging backwards since first entering the Kelriottar and, unlike other settlers, fared better than worse in the mirror world.

    - He licks just about everything.... you never know.

    - Rochus uses highly potent poisons as a condiment for food and drink.

    - The Almahandrochus and the Mitray-Kor of Change are two sides of the same coin.

    - In the old world he was responsible for a near genocide of the people of Gariann, Nyame of the South.

    - He was a slave in the Underdark for a long time before coming to Mitraspera, and wiped out an entire city in his escape.

    - Yet there is no old grudge or strife based on his past.

    - He comes from the most powerful magocracy in the world, and his ancestors did so much damage to creation by means of the most powerful magic that the entire bloodline was cursed.

    - Until now, no being has been able to strike Rochus down with a single blow... among others, the following have tried it: Argus, Firin Krähensang, the Crow, Kor-Zul-Ett.

    - He is not a friendship bearer of any element only because he believes ALL elements equally enjoy HIS friendship.

    - The Senator of Sel'Velkyn, Tal'Shalee, once lay under Rochus while he transplanted part of his body into hers.

    - He once looked under the skirts of all Viinshar... and yet saw nothing.

    - Components of Ka'Shalee's body were incorporated into his main weapons during manufacture.

    - Everyone may speak to him at eye level, even call him "uncle" or "grandpa".

    - The avatar Ignis decreed that Rochus was his brother.

    - As a healer, he sees it as his duty to take precautionary measures to hunt down those who inflict wounds on his own.

    - Rochus is strangely under a servant's command, similar to the elemental races, to which he submitted under free will.

    - In the old world Rochus was not born but, like all of his bloodline, artificially "built" as a kind of living weapon of mass destruction.

    - He told the Archon of the North, Kop'Tar, to his face with impunity that he considered him a "half-naked savage".

    - Rochus was only given offices and dignities because without control... without a hand to guide him... he would be too great a danger.

    - Some call him the "Drow Whisperer" because of his strangely good relationship with the people.

    - In battle he is closer to the void and perfection than to the settlers and the elements.

    - Rochus is a being who left Mitraspera before the World Fire and has now returned to complete something.

    - There are few people on Mitraspera who have experience in repairing staffs of power. And even fewer who have had success with it. Rochus has experience and success in this field.

    - Although he seems rather simple and bourgeois, Rochus is highly educated and speaks the basics of almost every known language.

    - His body and mind are two distinct entities that are intimately connected.

    - He carries within him a herald of Khorne... which may be the most harmless thing that lurks within him.

    - When he spars with the Fern of the House of Amfei'n, the sphere-keeper Nathae, it is not scraps that fly, but fireballs and glowing coals.

    - Wolfhound, blacksmith to the weapons masters, owes his life and that of his pack to the Protector on several occasions.

    - He does not understand the concept of "revenge".

    - Together with the Avatar Aquas, he drew the last dozen steps of Argus' cage.
