Oswald Horace Aengus is an elderly fairy hailing from the now-renamed [[Old Hibera]].  Like his wife, [[Marian Aengus|Marian]], he is a pink fairy, from skin to hair to wings to magical glow.  The pitiful amount of hair he has left is combed over sparsely on his otherwise gleaming bald head; his mustache, however, more than makes up for the absence there, being a veritable pink, fluffy mess, though with no extra beard.  Oswald stands a full half inch taller than his beloved (though still short by Hiberan fairy standards by another half inch), and, currently, he is not nearly as round.  Being a neophyte in the [[Church of Tubbius]] at his [[Marian Aengus|wife]]'s and [[Dr. Orin Barrin|brother-in-law]]'s combined insistence, the formerly gaunt fairy is beginning to put on considerable weight and girth over time.  In terms of dress, Oswald favors suits; formally cut, pink outfits usually worn with a white sash from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Description

Oswald Horace Grimley Aengus is an elderly fairy hailing from Old Hibera. Like Richard Aengus of New Hibera, he is a pink fairy, from skin to hair to wings to magical glow. The pitiful amount of hair he has left is combed over sparsely on his otherwise gleaming bald head; his mustache, however, more than makes up for the absence there, being a veritable pink, fluffy mess, though with no extra beard. Oswald stands a full half inch taller than his New Hiberan counterpart, and he is not nearly as round. This gaunt fairy king favors suits: formally cut, pink outfits usually worn with a white sash from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Background

Origins

Oswald Horace Grimley was born in Old Hibera. He, however, was not born into the royal line, instead being the eldest brother of the Queen there. In 207 AR, though, a human-brought plague ravaged the kingdom, killing approximately three hundred of the total 1,300 fairies. Among these were James Aengus, cousin to Richard Aengus and the former Lord Protector (an interim position held between times of new royalty being appointed), and the existing King and Queen, who were childless. After a week of legal challenges for the throne, Oswald's proved valid, and he was instituted as King of Old Hibera. Thus, as King, he chooses to maintain the Aengus family name out of respect for the ongoing Aengus lineage, despite not being born or married into it.

The Broken Dagger

Oswald has never set foot in the Broken Dagger.

The Present

Oswald rules Old Hibera alone and unwed. He holds a dim view of Richard Aengus overall, seeing the oft-afflicted fairy as unfit for ruling the other half of the Hiberan kingdom but not being willing to challenge him or to risk conflict.

Plots

The King is currently an inactive character in the ongoing game.
