Artist's Comments

Everybody welcome Mersallis Banteau!! I dont pick favorites, but...alright he's one of my favorites from "Lords and Gods". It's the tattoo perhaps?? This is the first time he's been colored :b

Btw, while he's an incredibly nice guy, I drew him kind of mean-faced here. He's very priesty (b/c he's a priest..but a priest of a religion exclusively to the story) but he's serious about everything!! I mean, he's so serious about his brother's death that he chained the staff his brother made for him to his arm....he's a little crazy in that aspect..

OH, and just some quick words about his tattoo...It's a poem that his brother wrote, but Mersallis and Sa'asame translated it into Sa'asame's native language, Chlaed. It's a mixture between cursive and sanskrit...it's just...fake xD One more thing: this tattoo took months to complete because Sa'asame (the tattoo artist lol) did it the native american way--take a pine-needle, dip it in ink, pound it in, repeat.

Here's some general info:

Name: *Mersallis (Merr-saa-lus) Banteau (Ban-tow)
Age: 26
Race: Laçoise
Affinity: Lightning
Parents: Henraie (Ehn-ray) Banteau
Yanie (Yaa-nee) Sanaille (San-ah-yee)
Skin: white (caucasian)
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'2"
Weapon: Frerezion (Fra-ray-zee-ohn)
Master: Henraie Banteau
Spirit summon: Xiraitha (She-ray-thaa)

*Because I derived his name from French, the pronounciation is actually (Mer-sigh-yee), but everybody calls him (Merr-saa-lus), M'sallis, or just Sallis, even his parents. He'd actually prefers the mispronunciation.

yeah..I found out about Winton Marsallis after I named him XD

The tattoo? Funny thing, I never actually wrote out the poem it is supposed to be. I should. until then, it's merely symbolic gibberish
