It all starts with that smell. Citrusy, with hints of fine liquor and nutty ground notes. You'd like to know what's smelling so good, so you sniff around. It's coming from that tavern over yonder. As you step in, you frown, having vague recollections of what you're looking for. Ah yes, the wonderful scent! Pushing through the crowd, you sit down, order "whatever's smellin' so damn good", and glance around the room. Nothing special, just a couple fellows like you, drinking with cheer and bravado. Right at the bar, a priestly looking fellow with a brass staff sits sipping small cups of, whatever it was you were doing here. Beer's served, you don't recall which one you ordered, but you've never been one to be picky, so hey, let's have a sip. Another beer, some sausage snacks, another beer. You sing along with a group of drunkards, the first verse of a shanty over and over again. Another beer, some macho armwrestling, more beer. Beer's startin' to taste bland, you go for some wine, then beer again.

You get up, step outside for a breath of fresh air, and yelp out of astonishment. You could've sworn it was summer, but all this snow seems to tell a different story....

One of the two cubs from the end of the 2nd Ophidian comic, all grown up.
Like his brother Accia, Sothovo is a memory-thief. He does it through smell rather than sound, and is way less intentional about it.

Personalitywise, he's rather gentle and harmless.
