Personality
King Eosa was a brutish savage, giant in size and merciless in battle. Eosa was so huge that he couldn't ride a horse. His arms were said to be the size of an average man's thighs, and he was said to have killed over three thousand men singlehandedly.
Important Deeds of Note
In 490, Octa and Eosa both waged war against King Uther Pendragon, having successfully beaten King Heraut of Malahaut. The pair wished to steal Excalibur for themselves, as Octa believed his cousin Eosa deserved a magical weapon as well. The pair were defeated, their army routed, and Eosa was himself struck down by Duke Ulfius of Silchester.
In 493, Eosa escaped the dungeons of Logres with his cousin, King Octa. The pair reached Malahaut, where they forged an alliance with King Heraut to attack Logres, hoping to wage war against the ill King Uther. The plot was discovered by the Ursine Brotherhood, who successfully warned the King of the alliance.
In 495, Eosa fought at the battle of St. Albans after invading Logres and sacking Lincoln with his cousin, Octa. Octa was killed in the fighting.
