Description This is something I made for the emotion bringers contest, organised by my dear friend and PS tutor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zelotes

~He is based on a musk ox, an animal that can become very agressive at times.
~The cloth on his face symbolises the blindness of fanaticism, that does not let people see the truth and change their minds.
~The scar symbolises the wounds and the destruction of war, caused by fanaticism.
~The rings and other decoratives have to do with the use of animals in war during the ancient times by the first civilisations in the Middle East (Persians etc).
~His name is a romanisation of the Greek word Ζηλωτής (Zelotes). The word Zeal that is pretty much connected to fanaticism derives from that Greek word. Zelotes were a group of fanatics in the history of Judaism. They were always fighting and executing people to defend their views, without ever changing their views or methods.
~Also, Zelotes, the bringer of Fanaticism is deaf. Like people that are deeply fanatics and do not want to listen to anyone else's opinion, Zelotes cannot listen to anything. He is stuck in his own rage, passion and zeal.

The idea for the contest belongs to
