vi. biography
he was born in the spring of 1740 (he doesn't remember the date), in the bavarian alps between what is now germany and austria. he doesn't remember the name he was given at birth, or at least he claims to have forgotten. in truth, he was somewhat of a prince... or so he says. he recalls his childhood, running amongst the trees and bushes, climbing the ridges and rocky outcrops, and swimming in rivers. he remembers playing with other children, dancing with his people at celebrations, and eating fresh food every day.
from a young age, he was mischievous and curious. he did not fear the local humans as much as he should have. he would appear before lost travellers and agree to guide them in exchange for sweets. he became a local legend, a sprite - so long as you gave him what he asked, you would gain safe passage... but if you tried to trick him, you could find yourself lost in the forest, wandering for days.
he doesn't say why he left, only that he was the only one to do so, and there isn't much to go back to.
after he left, he chose a new name - prometheus - and travelled across europe. sometimes he would stay with his own kind, sometimes he would blend in with witches, or humans, learning their cultures and languages. eventually, he got to the age where he started to grow bored. he found a witch who gave him an idea... a memory loss potion, so he could start all over again. it made things interesting... at first. perhaps it was his fae blood, but eventually, his memories returned. and when they did, he would go somewhere new.
he went to italy, spain, france, england, scotland, wales and ireland. he enjoyed meeting the fae of the lands, but he saw the growing influences and spreading civilisations of humanity. he kept finding witches for potions, but the effect of the memory loss took less and less time to fade.
he can't recall if it was a bad potion or too much drink that made him wake up on the boat from scotland to america, but by the time they reached new york in 1820, theus had accepted his fate. he gave the surname ashfield, and that was how he registered as a citizen. he laid low, avoiding the revolutionary war, retreating into the wilderness to be with his own kind while the humans killed each other. afterwards, he toured america and canada, searching for a place to settle.
in 1873, he came to the growing city of westray in the state of washington. old habits die hard, so he continued his life of revelry and pleasure-seeking. he stopped taking the memory potions since they hardly worked anymore. he'd developed too high of a tolerance for them to last longer than a few months.
his bad behaviour eventually caught up with him, and in 1950, he was presented with his first daughter.
he took in every daughter presented to him (who turned out to be his) and raised them with love. shortly after the arrival of his first daughter, he thought he should establish himself a little more... with the riches he'd acquired, he purchased the emerald lodge and has since become its owner and accounts manager. he always had an interest in counting, and what better thing to count than gold?
six more daughters would follow, and despite his recognition of his high fae blood, his dalliance with a human and a witch resulted in offspring, and they resulted in disdain from his fellow high fae.
prometheus didn't give a shit. he loves his daughters fiercely. he would kill for them, and he would die for them. besides... what's the point of being a fae if you don't bring a little chaos?
