He is often quiet, and only speaks when he believes he can improve upon the silence. He is generally good, although at times he can be quite wiley. He is known to be a very kind man, always helping those in need who ask for his assistance. Agapios is often wise, but there are times when he has his moments of unrest. `+ `+ Born to two young slaves in Megara, Agapios claims the city Megara herself as his mother. His parents have since passed on from this world and have found their way to the Elysium Fields, he hopes. They each died when he was quite young and he lived on the streets as a child, begging for money and food. As he grew older, he found a fancy for the seas. He is determined to become a sailor of the deep seas and victor of the ancient isles which have been lost at sea. He wishes to bring the beauty and wonder of far places to the glorious Megara, and take the literature, culture and rich textiles of Megara to those far off lands. Agapios has always been a hard worker, knowing his work may find him the favor of the gods or even get him closer to his dream of sailing the seas. `+ `+ Follower of Zeus, Agapios believes all laws are to be followed and takes this role very seriously. He aspires to be an officer in the police force of Megara, to lead the city in the ways of all things noble and true. He takes great heed of his god and is always watching the sky for thunderbolts hurled from the heights of Mount Olympus. `+ `+ ~ last_editor Eris~ last_editdate 1112376204 END keyword BACKSTAB~ title Backstab~ category undefined~ text `#`Bbackstab (victim)`^ Backstab is a favored attack of many rogues.
