Marital Status: Married - Poledra (status unknown)

Scars and Distinguishing Marks: Bluish circular (birth)mark over his heart. Various scars, scrapes & bruises

Personality: Over the millenia, it has become hard to tell if the lazy vagabond act Belgarath puts forth is part of his true personality or merely a well rehersed act. When the situation requires it though, he can be a being of unwavering focus and force not to be trifled with

Powers/Special Abilities: As a Disciple of Aldur, Belgarath is well versed in the Will and the Word - a form of magick dependent primarily on the user's willpower. He is also an adept thief, an excellent liar and con artist.

Brief History: Millenia ago, the God Aldur took into is care a starving boy and raised him to become his First Disciple. It has been a bumpy ride across the years with the deaths of some of his fellow Disciples, the fight with the insane god Torak over the Orb of Aldur,the apparent death of his wife, his one daughter leaving the Vale of Aldur to help found the bloodline of the Rivan Kings, assorted murders, assassinations, and other petty wars, the final battle to slay Torak, the return of his wife, and so on & so on. Now he just wants a little peace & quiet somewhere where he can have a few beers & pinch the serving wench in the butt as she goes by...

Remarks: Many people let his shabby appearance & carefree attitude fool them.

=bowing deeply=

A kind welcome always makes a poor wayfarer feel so at home... =)

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

*grin* Or a squeefilled welcome... ;)

Now, is Belgarath's appearance that of an older man, or what? 'Cause you know, wizard and all, so he *could theoretically take on a different appearance.

=raising eyebrow=

Yes, with the white beard and all, I defintely don't look like an old man...

=shaking head= Young people these days...

[bloodandsouls.livejournal.com]

:P

[OOC: are you in the bar yet?]

[e-belgarath.livejournal.com]

Yup

[veryvorkosigan]

Hoooo boy.

Old Wolf, you'd better not let your daughter know where you've been. :)

[e-belgarath.livejournal.com]

Bah... Pol's busy with Durnik, the farm and the baby.... (so the perfect time to see what trouble I can get into...) Now where is that serving wench with my beer... ;)

Not to mention his wife, although (a) she appears to be dead and (b) she probably knows already.

[e-belgarath.livejournal.com]

Poledra's in Riva playing mother hen over the great-grandchildren again (which made it the perfect time for me to sneak out). =shaking head= You'd think if Belgarion & Ce'Nedra can run a kingdom, they could take care of a couple of children too. =sigh= Poledra... she can't help but play denmother over them all. I say it has something to do with her wolf heritage. Then again, what do I know - I'm just an old man in search of a beer...

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Since when was "dead" incompatible with Milliways?

[lyra_silver]

It isn't really incompatible with Poledra, either. Or... wait... that doesn't work right. Shall we say that nothing, ever, has stopped her and leave it at that?

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

I know. Poledra kicks. :D

[lyra_silver]

By the way, you're doing great on getting Will drunk. I just don't have the time tonight to spend all my time on the computer joining in.

Damn packing. And abstract-writing.

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Thank you! But it's all Door, really. One word- mudslides. :D It's beautiful, really.

Oh. :( Good luck, anyways!

[e-belgarath.livejournal.com]

=laughing= I suppose you could say we have a rather *diverse family...

[pjpettigrew.livejournal.com]

Well, yes...a wizard who can turn into a wolf, a wolf who can turn into a woman, twin daughters, one of whom can turn herself into an owl and who speaks the language of birds, her husband, the Man Who Lived Twice, who hammered a demon to pieces, a thousand-times-great-grandson who's the Overlord of the West and the Godslayer, his wife, a rather bad-tempered dryad, their son, who was Child of Dark for a while, assorted daughters...oh, and that foster child of your daughter's who grew up to become a god.

All of you would fit in perfectly at Milliways.

[e-belgarath.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope not. I came here to get away from the lot of them!! ;)

(plus you forgot my brethren: the Twins and the hunchbacked dwarf who turns into a hawk, and his lovely young wife who also turns into a hawk)

[pjpettigrew.livejournal.com]

Well, I was just going by blood-kinship. But yes, I should have listed the other disciples of Aldur.

If your daughter should show up, please tell her not to eat any rats wearing aprons or with silver paws while she is in owl form.

The be-aproned rat is our cook's assistant. Gil will be very cross if she is not around to operate the grill.

The silver-pawed rat is my alternate form. As there are a lot of cats and cat-shaped beings in the bar, I tend not to shift shape much these days, but still...
