Born in obscurity and of uncertain parentage, Molossus was raised by nuns in a church and named after a breed of dog from Sarpedon. Notable for his large size (he stood at 2.4 meters), bloated appearance and bulging eyes; Molossus suffered from a form of gigantism. His booming tenor voice was in large part thanks to his barrel sized chest and in his later years he suffered from morbid obesity, gout, diabetes and the odd extra vestigial limb. He died in during a vacation in Trossera from diabetic complications.
