Once a king infamous for waging bloodthirsty campaigns, Asterion was transformed into a horrible minotaur by the curse of a clever wizard-for-hire. Shunned and exiled from his land, he now wanders the dungeon clothed in tattered finery, hoping to establish a new kingdom in its depths by any means necessary. These aspirations are appreciated by Makhleb, who has granted the minotaur destructive magic and the aid of demonic weaponry. “The fact is that I am unique. What a man can pass unto others does not interest me; like the philosopher, I think nothing is communicated by the art of writing. Annoying and trivial minutiae have no place in my spirit, a spirit which is receptive only to whatsoever is grand.” -Jorge Luis Borges, “The House of Asterion”. 1947. trans. Antonios Sarhanis, 2008.
