Leader of the Fortune Tellers: Opinions?
He is the most complex character that I sort of like but sort of don't like at the same time. He is certainly not what I expected as far as physical description or personality! It seems he is not completely "pure" or "good-hearted"... he seems greedy, in a way. Especially the way he acted after he got the chest from Will and Peter... he was practically salivating over it!
What are your thoughts on this queer character? Do you think there was more behind the bribe that the prince offered him? Do you think he could have helped without a bribe if he chose to?

Never trust fortunetellers. I never trusted him. I just suspected him right from the first instance.Sinclairess wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 11:58 Leader of the Fortune Tellers. Fortis Fortuna. Master of All Fates.

Yes! I guess it makes sense for someone who favored fortune, but I thought he would be neither good nor bad. Or atleast even just a little more to the good side. I did not get that good vibe from him at all!

Fortis Fortuna mixture of both the positive and negative of human nature.
But, like Everyone one that have a free will, he could have chose not to take the" bribe."
Thank you for such a question.

I rather like your description of Fortis. As both the good and bad sides of human natureMr Benji wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 02:46Being different is one thing that can make a character unique.Sinclairess wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 11:58 Leader of the Fortune Tellers. Fortis Fortuna. Master of All Fates.

Very true. I think this tends to be how fortune tellers are portrayed in most stories. Greedy and able to read and take advantage of situations.
