Personality
King Octa is a savage through and through. He is brooding, warlike, vicious, and brutal to the last. Octa is a great hero to the Saxons, and carries a magical axe which seems to never dull and slices through his enemies with disturbing ease.
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 Octa himself was captured by the Knights of the Sword at the Battle of Lincoln.
