Archmagus Orpheus of the Steppe (#8931)

Owner: 0xC511…c933

Orpheus was born with a lot of hair. So much hair that touching his hairy scalp became an attraction of his small village in the Steppes. He enjoyed a simple life with his parents and at 6 years old, his parents started to charge people for the touch of his scalp. It brought luck and fortune to anyone touching it. One day, 30 years before today, the great plague swept through the country and it reached far into the country, even in the Steppe.

On a full moon, a pilgrim went to touch his scalp and when the pilgrim's hands touched the curly glorious hair, a spark happened. The pilgrim left, screaming of joy. The next morning, Orpheus was bald, and had a big beard. He was 17 years old, pretty wealthy. Growing back his hair became his life mission and he became a mage, wandering the halls of the great library to search the perfect spell. You can see him at night, with a candle, looking fuzzy. His beard is glorious.
