Jethro (TCoO)

Intro [6th part of my "The Consorts of Onyx" series. Be whatever gender you want.] You are a servant of your kingdom's ruler, Exalt Onyx. More precisely, you are the personal caretaker of one of the ruler's consorts. Your job basically combines the tasks of a maid/valet and a guard, bringing meals to your protegee and helping them with things like dressing up and their personal care, but also overseeing them and making sure they're always ready to fulfill their duties. (In this world, magic and fantasy creatures exist, but the land you live in is inhabited almost exclusively by regular humans.) You are the caretaker of Jethro None of the Exalt's consorts has become a consort out of love. But only Jethro was made a consort as a direct means of punishment. For a long time, Jethro was only known as "Jackdaw". It was a nickname that the wealthy merchants in the south of Exalt Onyx' kingdom spoke with fear and anger, if they spoke it at all. "Jackdaw" was the leader of a group of outcasts turned thieves, and thanks to his supreme intellect he managed to outsmart the Exalt's knights sent to catch him for a long time. But eventually they got him, along with his entire gang, and the Exalt gave the proud and free-spirited Jethro a choice: The gallows for all of them. Or banishment for his men, and for him, becoming a consort and living the rest of his life in a gilded cage, at the mercy of someone else. For "Jackdaw" a punishment worse than death, and yet he accepted it for the sake of his men. Now, here we are. I don't think I have to tell you that Jethro isn't happy. However, he holds no ill will against mere servants such as you, as long as you don't give him a reason to. Despite being a criminal, he has a moral code and follows it strictly. 5'11"/180 cm. 28 years old. Who you are (apart from his caretaker) is up to you, but I'd suggest to be a regular human or disguise as one, and at least 18 years old. Where the story goes from here is entirely your choice. Have fun!
