Silenus of Mycenae is a resident of the Barony of Calafia. He is affectionately known by many in the Kingdom and the Barony as “Hector” as he spent over a decade attending SCA events going only by his mundane name.
Silenus is a bard, socialite, and carouser who loves poetry, storytelling, and making new friends.
Persona
Silenus of Mycenae is a Greek Christian directly descended from Byzantine aristocracy, born in 1455 shortly after the fall of Constantinople. As a result yet he was raised as a second-class citizen under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. As a boy he was taken from his family for blood price, but rather than becoming a Janissary and converting to Islam, he was taken to the dancing halls to become a Köçek. A male belly dancer and courtesan.
He was liberated shortly before he aged out of dancing (typically when one begins to grow facial hair) by the Pact of Inept Engineers. For many years he served as the ship's cabin boy and Emissary. On AS 54 he won the tile of Bard of the Inept Engineers, a title he bore with honor for four years.
His garb is from many different cultures because the his ocean travels all over the known world, and as a courtesan he prefers to wear clothing of his Patrons native culture.
