Mithras is of medium height, with a compact and slightly muscular build, swarthy skin, classically handsome features, dark eyes, and dark hair worn shoulder-length in loose curb. He normally wears a soft cloth hat of some sort, preferring the ancient Phrygian cap. He preferred loose clothing that did not impede movement.
Mithras was born in ancient Persia and served in the military as a general. One night, a prisoner was impressed by the general's capabilities and offered him everlasting life. Mithras was then revered as the living "war god" of various peoples. As the Lord of Light, Mithras portrayed himself as the bringer of civilization and morality, who spent his days guiding the sun through heavens and thus only appeared at night. The Cult of Mithras quickly spread in the Orient and when Mithras heard of Rome, he chose to travel there. His cult spread through the military and became one of the great mystery religions in the Imperium Romanum by the time of the Roman Emperors. Mithras himself settled in Londinium. He was able to clear his path to power, eventually gaining acceptance as the lord of the Court of Avalon, just as mortal society stabilized under Henry II. In 1154 he took he established his reign in London, as the monarch of the Baronies of Avalon, one of the supreme Cainite feudal realms.
