Age: 21

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Golden brown coat highlighted with light orange-gold. Pale yellow mane with darker streaks, aqua blue eyes. Usually seen wearing a crimson cloak

Cutie Mark: The Greek symbol for Omega

Personality: Innocent-minded, honorable.<br />Icarus will always be a child at heart. Where everypony else sees in black and white, Icarus sees things in vibrant, colorful ways. His morals and faith are child-like and simple. He is fiercely optimistic, and most of the time carefree.<br />However, this makes him, at times, extraordinarily childish and immature. At times he can seem distracted and unfocused, and even a little spoiled. Because of this, his title was the Page, as he had a lot to learn. But as time went on, Icarus matured. He was still childish, certainly, but he had learned that there was a time and a place for everything, and that time and place was not necessarily where ever he wanted it. So he became the Knight.

Backstory: Icarus grew up in Canterlot and wanted for nothing. He came from a minor noble family; he and his parents were rich, and Icarus could pretty much afford anything and everything for the rest of his life. His family was well respected, and it was because of this that Icarus grew up in a very formal, well-mannered home. He took fencing and swordsmanship and is very skilled with a blade.<br />He was recruited at the age of 19 by Darkessie. He'd been completely oblivious to the strength of his Astral Eye until his unexpected encounter with the Keeper as she was Astral Projecting. He became the second, and one of the most loyal, followers, as well as a member Origin and the Inner Circle of the Lucerna. At first, using his inheritance, Icarus funded the organization under the tutelage of Darkessie. It was Icarus that paid for the Celatum's construction. <br />Before the Sota Peilin, Icarus was referred to as the Page; one who had much to learn and a lot of growing up to do. Not long after the war, those who knew of the Lucerna dubbed him the Knight; for he had finally grown up, but at a terrible cost. After the war, his world of color was muted and dampened. He, with the other remaining Origins and the survivors ((known then as the Remnants)) went into hiding. They remain hidden to this day.
