Terrios



Terrios is one of the main characters of Every Star, and is played by PJ Elliott (the primary DM). He has been in the story since the very beginning, and generally comes off as cold and uncaring, often shunning his team and trying to do things on his own. When Nick Kalogeras occasionally DMs, PJ controls Terrios - but when PJ is DMing, Nick controls Terrios's actions in combat, but is still roleplayed by PJ. As such, Terrios is one of only two characters to have more than one regular player (the other being Aelar ).

Backstory
Born into a secluded family of minotaurs deep within a remote labyrinth, Terrios spent much of his childhood away from civilization, yet he longed for it so. As such, he would often sneak off to human cities under the ruse of a hunting trip. When he was 18, he took such a detour and was gone for many hours. Upon his return, his labyrinth and family had vanished without a trace.

For another 8 years, Terrios lived off the streets, often begging for food. Despite being a minotaur, the loss of his family had crushed his spirit, for he believed their disappearance to be a result of his disobedience. When he was 26, he was taken in by the rough-and-tumble leader of a bounty hunter's guild, who trained Terrios physically and emotionally. Within 12 years, he had become one of the best headhunters in the land, and had opted to work hard to restore his labyrinth through monetary means.

Mortal Realm (Fallcrest)
Terrios overhears Numan and Aelar hearing about a mission to kill a necromancer named Malareth. Knowing of the bounty on his head, Terrios accompanies the two, intent on retrieving the bounty for himself, and often abandoning the two mid-battle when given the chance. Eventually, Malareth is killed by Terrios's hand, and chopped into pieces. Malareth's remains are brought back and sold to Fallcrest's guildmaster, afterwhich he learns of a mine where people were disappearing.

Terrios checks it out the next morning, and coincidentally bumps into Numan and Aelar. After finding a strange series of rooms made of titanium, they are confronted by a dwarf named Czech, who attacks them with androids and a mobile suit. After his defeat, Vous makes his presence known and, admiring the heroes' strength, offers to hire them. Terrios agrees only because he wants to learn more about Vous's affiliation with Malareth.
