Tofilius (pictured) standing in the courtyard of a stone Lyazoli idol surrounded by blue oleander, irradiating toxic energies. he's waiting, feeling quite unwell, for his mysterious lover to greet him.

his father is Toreas (aka Terry, nowadays). he was exiled from the herd (which was more like an empire at that point) but allowed to return. though he set him up as the captain of his guard, Toreas disclaims Tofilius as a son and he goes by a fake name-- Terakus-- to conceal his identity. though this is pretty much a defeated cause among certain members of the clan, mention of Tofilius' real name and origins is somewhat of a taboo.

at any rate combine daddy angst with regular teen angst and you get a traitor. first-round Tofilius (as in the actual progression of events, and not the time Ka revisits the period and mucks a few things up) was destined for a terrible end and had a mostly unfun life.

he sells out to a fake moon goddess in exchange for lurid midnight poontang (so much like daddy) not knowing she was actually a cult leader, and brings about the end of his father's reign and his peoples' freedom/wisdom/chance to live as more than dumb cows.

from that point onward, these little blue flowers cultivated by the Cult of the Yazol, were to become the kryptonite of the Ascellan race. the Cult refined them for various applications over the millenia, and their ring leader still roams the cosmos doling out small bits for people with a demon problem.

she's still one of the bad guys.
forgive my totally fake Italian which translates roughly into Tofilius and the Nerium. or... ox-son and the nerium. but no he's actually called Tofilius don't over translate it.
