Georg

''"eight legs!" "seven vagainas" (georg when people ask him about his life choices)'' -Lady Cricket, 2020

Georg was a human man living in Hanto prior to the events of Era 1. He was a well known bard and storyteller, as well as a notorious flirt, although he did not form any lasting relationships until he met Arachne. He was initially attracted to the beauty of her human form, but he became intensely fascinated with her due to her magic skill, mysterious background, and witty manner of speech. He eventually learned that Arachne was really a spider spirit in human disguise, but by that time he was so in love with her that he wanted to be with her anyway. Arachne reciprocated his affections and they went on to have many children together, who themselves went on to become the ancestors of all Spider atavi.

Georg is credited with spreading spider worship and knowledge of the spider spirits throughout pre-Era 1 Hanto. After he died of old age, Arachne accompanied him in the afterlife. They were separated for over a millenia after Arachne was eaten by her own daughter, but were reunited after Portia was defeated following the events of the Spider-God War.
