History


Date of Birth: March 27th, 1970
Home: Sacramento, California, United States
Family: Victor and Deirdre Buckler (parents), Tina (younger sister)
Chrysalis: Personal Tragedy (blue-collar family, he excelled at football, great quarterback, until a fateful game where he was sacked and sustained head trauma; a veritable NDE, he nearly died in the hospital but strange dreams stirred him back from the brink), 1988
Mentor: Ruby Shields
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (a Boggan nurse helped rescue him from the near-death, kenning his Chrysalis, and as she aided his convalescence, she also taught him the ropes of faerie society)
Comrades: Christopher Ramis, Einarr Rig, Cynthia Sil, Bronte Gill, Tiana Kennedy, Harold diMarcos
Key Event #1: War (recovered and restored as a healthy Troll, Ruby guided him to his kith in San Francisco, who guarded the Golden Gate Bridge against incursions sent by the Sidhe nobility to bring the city under heel; he cut his teeth battling chimera and other monsters from the depths of the Dreaming)
Key Event #2: War (despite the courage of his fellowship and other commoner resistance, the Sidhe ultimately claimed the city, and with numerous oathcircles shattered by death or worse, Eamon struck out on his own as a chimera-hunter)
Key Event #3: War (over the years, he faced down many beasts, even dragons most famously; from his kills, he harvested Dross mostly for the purpose of making a living, but he also donated to commoner mews and a few -- very few -- worthy noble households)
Key Event #4: Awe & Wonder (so did Eamon earn a name for himself, hired out as the best drake-hunter in the land)
Key Event #5: War (his most famous victory, which would urge him into "early" retirement, was against a terrifying icewyrm, a Banal chimera, known as Gráin-Cránach, likely associated with a Dauntain collective in the region)
Transition: Shift in Nature (the animated malevolence of Banality secretly frightened the old warrior and he retired to a cottage in the hills outside the Muir Forest; however, his old Sidhe "friend", Baron Harold diMarcos, sent him two young Sidhe of key destinies to train and protect)

Remembrance


Magnitude: All the way back to the Shattering and closing of the portal
Details: He recalls often serving as a guardian: he helped block dark things from crawling through the Arcadian Gate, he guarded bridges in the Old World against Thallain interlopers, and in the New World he sometimes fought against Nunnehi raiders; he also fought the Sidhe during the Accordance War and died protecting a clutch of childlings from Sidhe chimerical beasts

Weakness
Below the Horizon


He has seen what is coming and fears he can do nothing to stop it and even trying will not only be the end of his life but annihilate his very soul. For all his stalwart courage, he is also afraid.

Likelihood of Corruption


Low.

He's a good guy. Always has been, always will be.
