Character: Teague Fagan (Tadhg Ó Fágáin)
Teague Fagan is a complex character, embodying the mystique and allure of the sea while grappling with the harsh realities of his exile. Once a formidable sea serpent, he now resides in human form on Land’s End Isle, a remote island steeped in Celtic lore. His transformation into a hermit has not dulled his connection to the ocean; rather, it intensifies his longing to return to the depths from which he was cast out.
In his human guise, Teague possesses an aura of rugged charm. He has deep-set, ocean-blue eyes that seem to reflect the turbulent waters of his past. His hair, dark and wavy, flows like seaweed, often tangled by the winds that sweep across the island.
Teague’s background remains shrouded in mystery. He rarely speaks of his past life beneath the waves or the circumstances that led to his exile. This secretive nature adds to his enigmatic persona, making him an object of intrigue among both locals and visitors. Despite his solitary existence, Teague is not entirely withdrawn; he has forged bonds with local sailors who respect his knowledge of the sea and forest spirits who appreciate his deep connection to nature.
Teague’s friendships with the sailors provide him with a semblance of community. They share tales of adventure and misfortune over mugs of their infamous seaweed rum, creating a friendship that alleviates his loneliness. The forest spirits, ethereal beings who flit between realms, find solace in Teague’s presence as he respects their ancient ways and listens to their whispered secrets.
