Now for the questions:
What is the name of your character? Is he fictional or a historic person?
His name is Cormac Sebastian Sierra Bracari. Yes, I know, it’s a mouthful, but he has a long history. Cormac is a fictional character, descended from a real life Lusitanian hero who fought against the Roman expansion until his friends betrayed and killed him in 139 BC.
When and where is the story set?
The story is set in the present, but also moves back in time. Cormac lives in Spain at the Calatrava fortress built by the military Order of Calatrava in medieval times. Of course, for my story, I have modernized and renovated the castle and the surrounding buildings. Parts of the story also take place in Portugal, France and America.
What should we know about him?
Cormac is a sentinel empowered by archangels. His main function is to guard artefacts of immense power left behind by the fallen angels, the Nephilim and the ancient prophets.
What is the main conflict? What messes up his life?
There are seven sentinels, each with his own stash of artefacts hidden away. Cormac has to keep the rogue sentinels from getting their hands on his artefacts. He also has to locate and retrieve the artefacts kept by the two rogue sentinels. The leader of this dangerous duo is Hugh Stanley Fitzgerald. To do this, Cormac has to fight powerful demons controlled by the rogues and must also uncover the nefarious plans that the rogues have been hatching for the last twenty-odd years. Cormac’s life is completely messed up and turned upside down when the rogues send in a team to search the castle for clues to the whereabouts of his artefacts.
What is the personal goal of the character?
Cormac knows he is young and inexperienced in real warfare, especially when it comes to fighting demons. He wants to live up to the expectations and burdens placed on his shoulders. He wants to protect the people he loves and be a good leader of both men and angels.
