Notable for his cyclopean size (he stood at 2.6 meters), bloated appearance and bulging eyes; Molossus was born with 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 during a vacation in [[Trossera]] from heart complications. Molossus was a devoted lifelong member of the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]] and left all his estate to it. | ||
