'''King Octa Hengestson''' is one of the two kings of the Northern Saxons, along with his cousin [[King Eosa]] the Giant. The pair are powerful monarchs, but were captured at the Battle of Lincoln in [[490]]. They have languished in a dungeon since that time.
== 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|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 [[Characters#The Ursine Brotherhood|Ursine Brotherhood]] at the Battle of Lincoln.
