Race: Human
Sex: Male
Real Name: Sathawick
Nick Name: The Facer, Sath
Birth Date & Location: Circa 1814 - Egypt
Position: N/A
Group Affiliation: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
Sathawick is quite tall and also has somewhat long muscular arms, a show of the hard slave labour that was thrust upon him when he was quite small. He is tanned, as he is an Egyptian, and has short dark hair that he keeps short so that they are easy to manage. All in all, Sathawick would seem like another one of those goofy friendly faces that one meets from time to time, but only when one looks deep in his eyes can you tell that deep within his soul he regrets living each day, knowing that for him it shall never mean happiness, never mean any warmth that he can feel in his heart.
(Sathawick is played by Chris Tucker)
BACKGROUND:
It was the year 1810, and even though many foreigners were coming into the land of Egypt, mostly archaeologists, other greedy business looking for fortune. This brought a rise in demand for slave labour.
However Sara and her husband Gareth were not as poor to be slaves. They weren't that rich, but they owned a farm that Gareth had inherited from his father, and being the only son got the whole estate, which was just the farm. All was happy, Gareth married Sara and they lived quite happily, praying for a son or daughter to come into their lives so they could shine in glory and happiness even more.
Their wish came true and three years later Sara was pregnant, but it seemed that fate would twist in another direction for them. For one day Sara had gone into the market to buy some items for her small home, when the eyes of a rich businessman fell upon her. A local trader, but still he was high ranking and had a lot of power. Everyday he would tease Sara, and try and get her attention, but she would just ignore him. One day he told her he loved her and would give anything if she would leave her husband and come to him, but Sara slapped him, and told him he had no right.
The next few months Sara didn't hear from him, and thought that he might have forgotten her, and didn't think about telling this to her husband. One day her husband came back saying that he had had trouble selling his crops, that the buyer said he'd started buying from someone else. This also happened when he tried to sell other stuff like eggs or milk, everyone seemed to have someone else to buy it from.
Soon the cash flowing in slowed down and then stopped, while the depth of debt on Gareth's shoulder grew, so much that they had to give up their farm and even their lives to pay their debts. They became slaves to some unknown merchant who had bought all their debts. Coincidentally, the merchant turned out to be the same businessman. Cruel as he was, he sold Gareth to some excavation and kept Sara for himself. Even now, the merchant once again asked Sara to be with him. Sara, now seven months pregnant refused again and told him no matter how far away he sent her husband she'd never take him out of her heart. A few days later there was news that the excavation that Gareth had been sold to had an accident and that he was dead. When Sara heard this she fainted and gave birth to a baby boy, two months before it was due. Due to the intensity of the depression, Sara died, leaving the young boy alone in the world.
The merchant upset on the passing of Sara, kept his son to take his revenge on. It was a kindly slave that named him "Sathawick" - the wise and prosperous. Until he was eleven year old, he was treated worst of all the merchants slaves, given the least to eat and the most work to do in the harshness of the Egyptian sun. But somehow the boy survived. It was until one day he met another man in the market, who was a foreigner, and gave him very good advice on his purchase. The intellect of the boy intrigued the foreigner, Jean Francois, an archaeologist, who decided to buy the slave, as he was in great need of one. He went to the merchant and paid him a lot to get the slave. In the end the merchant let the boy go, hoping that a curse befall upon the boy, and feeling happy on collecting a lot for selling the boy.
Sathawick and Jean Francois got along quite well, even though Jean wasn't that good in speaking the native tongue of Egypt, both could understand each other well. The boy was such a fast learner and quite bright that Jean taught him English and French and slight Italian as well, while the boy helped him understand the hieroglyphics on the monuments better.
One day Jean's expedition found him a new tomb, into which he explored, and when he opened the airtight seal of the room, hot gas escaped the chamber and smited all those in the expedition except Sathawick. Sathawick, scared, knelt down and started to pray to ward off evil spirits, but surprisingly something spoke to him in his mind which he understood.
"Hear now, you have been spared, as it was not your choice to enter the burial place where no one should enter. But a curse be upon you. Happiness you shall never have, and be alone shall you always be. Giving you immortality, where for all eternity you shall be miserable."
This granted Sathawick immortality, never aging after he had reached puberty, but for that never feeling happiness again. Sathawick was freed after his master had been found dead, and on the will of Jean, Sathawick was given a bit of money; very little, but enough for him to buy himself food for a month. Sathawick used the money to travel away from the land and spend his time earning more.
Later he came back and became an archaeologist, but time moved fast for him. Soon he was travelling around south Asia discovering other things. It was until the Order found him and started to hire his services for some translations. He became and somewhat freelance and help the Order out, and even moved to Los Angeles to continue his study into history and demons.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
He doesn't have any power, except for immortality, and also that he can somewhat read faces telling a lot about a person and their past and a bit about their future.
