"Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance, it's a cold world, nobody understands" -Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance, by Jonathan Coulton Soterien (so-tee-ree-en) is apparently of Buskan descent, as evidenced by his name. His complete history is unclear. Soterien is very old by Stak's time, but since he's kept young by magic, it does not show in his physical appearance. In his youth, Soterien appears to have been part of some unique order of mages, now long dead.
