Hapless Priscus bullied into the job
“Uh...uh...uh...I think so?”
Clan: Daeva
Covenant: Unaligned
Titles: Priscus of Clan Daeva (City Status 3)
Court: High/Low
How do you solve a problem like the Daeva? Well, if you’re Adrian Spooner, you go along with what they want you to do. The ongoing arguments between the more excitable elements of Clan Daeva and those who just want to get along are well-publicised, so trying to find a Priscus everyone could agree on was a challenge to say the least. Enter Adrian Spooner, a nobody with no strong opinions and an unusually malleable attitude. The Pragmatists wanted someone who wouldn’t rock the boat but they could use to advance the clan’s position in the city; the Firebrands found the idea of an Unaligned Low Courtier representing their clan to be hilariously anti-establishment. He was perfect.
Remarkably, though, the walking satire that was Adrian Spooner, new blood from nowhere, became a relatively competent and trusted Priscus. While his proclivities for spending time with the Low Court are often frowned on, the clear support he has from the groundlings and the few High Court Daeva suggest that he’ll be around for a while. So, Adrian, what is your secret? Reports suggest that he’s just extremely agreeable. Let’s hope that keeps working for him.
Likes: The smell of popcorn, Star Trek, nice quiet evenings
Dislikes: Old Spice, celery, that stupid message tone
Rumours:
- His background is a mystery. Is that because no-one has bothered to ask him, or because he has something to hide?
- It was no accident that he was chosen: he is the unwitting pawn in a Daeva game, and he’s about to take the king.
- Adrian, as described by the other Prisci:
- Dana: ‘he talks a lot, says little'
- Maxwell: ‘he’s all right’
- Sati: ‘if power is handed to you on a plate, you don’t understand what you’ve got’
- Simone: ‘may have been elected as a joke, but now he’s the one laughing’
- Who is Adrian’s sire? Does he even know?
