The Six-Faced Gentleman is an Hour of justice, but not of the Vizier's law. He has his own morals, and enforces them on the warring Hours, punishing those who go too far. He is a protector of those who cannot fight, and an avid supporter of those who do not want to. Those who inflict pain without reason, who attack the sick and assault neutral parties, incur the wrath of the Six-Faced Gentleman. But this particular god-from-flesh does not like to get his hands dirty. Instead, he specialises in manipulating details as if they were a set of dominos. All it takes is a single action, and everything the Gentleman has prepared will collide in beautiful chain reactions, that end in the obliteration of the Gentleman's foe. Why a butterfly need only flap its wings, and across the world, a hurricane shall decimate an army's chance of victory. All because of the Six-Faced Gentleman's plans.

Description

History

In his mortal life, the Six-Faced Gentleman was among the downtrodden. His city had been overrun by invaders, and though he surrendered without a fight, the man who was to become the Six-Faced Gentleman was imprisoned. Tortured. This injustice fuelled the man's ambition, and one day, he escaped. The details are lost to time, but the man's captors were slain, as were their superiors, and their superiors, all the way up to the very highest generals. But six generals were not slain. Or rather, they did not appear to be. For the man had taken their places, uniting six armies under one divided rule. The man, or rather, men, became little known conquerers, considered weak for their lack of ruthlessness, for their mercy. With the resources at his disposal, the man studied the occult, the arcane. That which breached what he considered the natural law. Though he learned, through his studies, that the occult was not an abberation of the natural law. It was the natural law, as the Hours govern all things. He ascended to Longhood under King Nothing, and the rest of his past is FNORD. (Kills Butterfly at some point. I'll sort it out eventually)

Appearance

The Six-Faced Gentleman appears perfectly ordinary. He could be the fellow living next door. The kind young man working behind the counter. The lost soul begging in the streets. No one recognises the Gentleman until he makes himself known to them. But when fury overtakes him, the Six-Faced Gentleman has another form. One that speaks of his power in no uncertain terms. A decorated general, with six faces peering in different directions. A pocket watch, with which he keeps perfect time.

Principles

The Six-Faced Gentleman has his own code. His own law. He forsakes other rule-makers, for they enforce their rules weakly, and are bound by the letter of their writing. The Gentleman holds himself to no such bindings. Those who go against his own moral code, those who are villainous in his own perception, shall incur his subtle wrath.
