Appearance
A tall man with egg shaped head and broad shoulders. His body is fit though he is not exceptionally strong. He has black hair and keeps a well kept beard but his hair always seems to be in disorder.
Background
Decimus where raised by redcaps of the Andorra covenant, no one ever knew where he came from. He where raised by a childless redcap Acantha, she raised Decimus as her own. Through faithful service to the covenant she where able to provide her found son with a education and a chance to live a better life.
At the age of twelve Decimus gift where apparent and he where soon apprenticed by Maga Honoria Ex Mercere. She took him away from Andorra and trained him in a Cult dominated covenant in the vicinity of Rome. From the start of his apprentice ship she noticed the skill that Decimus handled the magic with and saw him as potential asset to fight for the Cult of Mercury against the Neo-Mercurians.
All and all his studies where not that remarkable and right after his initiation he where initiated into the occult mysteries of Mercurian magic.
After finishing his studies and being a full member of the Cult of Mercury he returned to the covenant where he grew up. Decimus had two task, first he would be the Cults representative in Andorra and in the Iberian tribunal. Though not alone he had a vast task to complete. The second of his task where to make Andorra a fortress for the Cult of Mercury. That would harbour the ancient tradition and carry it on.
His years after apprenticeship where filled with studies and his inability to cast spontaneous spells other than as ceremonial magic made him try to first hone his skills with the formulaic magic and then to utilise his skill in ceremonial magic. He spent years fighting against members of the Neo-mercurian cult and to strengthen the Cults hold on the Iberian tribunal. One of the task was to know the quesiatoris of the tribunal. Even though scrying is forbidden there are other ways to know other humans. Gather information about their persons and any dirty secrets in their past, their virtues and their vices and if possible secure arcane connection if the need arises. Most of the time his mission has been to gather information and little direct confrontation with the enemies of the Cult, but Decimus feels the need to be prepared. He had used his skill to get a few enemies into trouble, never noticing his hand in the process. Up to date his covert work has not forced him to kill anyone but still there are things that weight his conscience.
Decimus was a member of Andorra for over a decade, but moved on when he was offered a position at Harco. He visited Andorra again recently when the Mercere held a committee at Andorra on how to best handle the assets kept there and on how to handle the lodge. It was revealed that he had an illegitimate child by Lejla the Redcap, who also was part of the committee. Tiana the Redcap arranged a dinner meeting where they were both guests, and the guilt and Lejla's icy stare caused him to break down and he is utterly compliant now.
