Councilor Otho Petronius

Otho is member of the Plebeian Council with plebeian blood and holds a single minor estate. A broken man, Otho walks his estate in silence. His family abandoned Rome for Carthage when he was a child touring the cities of Egypt. Though they left him but a shell of walls and fields, Otho cared little, for his greatest treasures were books. Among the scrolls and tomes of the Great Library of Alexandria, Otho made his life anew. Called the Reader by all who know him, Otho is said to speak a dozen dead languages, twice that number of living languages, and knows the lives and thoughts of a hundred dead kings. Though he knows a thousand gods, the Reader makes sacrifice to Minerva, goddess of wisdom and intellect. It is said that Otho Petronius knows more of history than all the scholars of Rome, and is a skilled writer and orator—a capable diplomat.
