Loreus is a young Satyr who had a very sheltered upbringing. He is not typical of his kind. Rather than frolicking and dallying with nymphs like other satyrs his age, Loreus spends all of his time writing love poems and reading epic romances which has lead to a fascination by mortal men and women, especially those who resemble the great heroes of his favourite stories.
This has prompted him to leave his home in The Oldwood to seek out adventure.
