Samael Fontaine

Samael "Samuel" Fontaine is the youngest child of the sorceress Remillia Fontaine. He's also known as Sam Fontaine or just Sam for short. He takes his mother's name, which is unlike all her other children. Astarael Lightbringer is his half brother.

Events mentioned
Samael Fontaine was born to Remillia when she was pushing 50, which was not too strange for someone who had eternal youth. He was cared for by his mother in his earlier life, until someone was willing to adopt him.

Samael Fontaine started using the name "Samuel" as it was more acceptable for Bretons. He learned how to use his fists to fight since a young age, mainly because he enjoyed beating people up.

Samael's abilities awoke when he was thirteen. He later clashed with his elder brother Astarael, who cut off his left arm.

Samael later traveled Tamriel, using his remaining arm and unique abilities to work as a sellsword, bandit and thug.

Appearance and personality
Samael has an innate desire to hurt people, like his original family. He enjoys actually beating people up and is relatively sadistic, although he conceals this beneath his outward facade.

Samael is normally very, very neutral on his outlook, which makes him mostly unbiased when interacting with people.

Samael has black hair, blue eyes and a mesomorphic build. He only has one arm, his right, as his left was cut off.

Powers and abilities
Samael can create and use a biotic sword for combat. He is a good swordsman and able to hold his own, despite the lack of one arm. He can handle two handed weaponry with one arm as his arm is stronger to compensate for the lack of the other arm.

Samael can also perform electrokinesis, telekinesis and warding. He can heal himself pretty well and is quite well versed in the schools of magic.

Samael can further control swarms of lower animals to attack enemies, if they are in his vicinity.
