"To think that...they were caaapable...of building this... This priiimitive culture is so...faaascinating, yes... But... it could use some...refiiinement..."

According to Ambrosius, he was once a member of a nomadic tribe that wandered the world until one fateful day they were slaughtered by bandits, leaving the few survivors with nothing but the clothes on their backs. He wanders the world now, looking for his place in life now that his previous one has been torn from him...if you believe what he says. This story, however, is a fabrication. Beneath the brightly-colored 'traditional garments' covering his body this man is actually a Veruni spy, tasked with monitoring and recording the culture, goings-on, and history of civilizations currently outside of Veruni control...as well as reporting or claiming any weaknesses, useful secrets, or tools that his leaders could use to further their goals. He has always been a rather nosy individual who records practically everything(though he would claim that everything is just so interesting that he can't help it), so this assignment is perfect for him. The 'historical fiction' he writes (typically featuring a strong, intelligent, and handsome Veruni protagonist appearing at various points in human history to solve their problems with ease and show them what they've been doing wrong) is a prime form of entertainment among his comrades, though not necessarily for the reasons he'd like.

Background

Powers and Abilities

Conversator: An ordinary revolver that is always at Ambrosius's side. He considers it his 'trusty side-arm', but it is clearly not Veruni in origin...

Veruni-style Ether: Ambrosius is quite adept at Sorcery. His combat specialty is Water ether, though he knows how to use some other elements for non-combat purposes. These are usually to help him handle whatever machine he is currently interested in looking at.

Veruni-style Close-Quarters-Combat: Ambrosius may be best at mid-to-long range, but as it would happen he is not too shabby in melee, either. If the enemy closes in, he has no problems drawing out his knife...or, if it comes down to it, just hurling them bodily away.
