Boreas is special. Not just because he has the wing marks, or the special mane, but because of his history. This isn't his first go round on earth. He has been here before...many, many times before. Boreas is a relative of the first horse God created as referred to in the Bible in Job. He is a fantastic animal, sent down repeatedly by the angels so Man never forgets the majesty of the first horse, or God who created him. Tall, powerful and gentle he is everything the first horse was. But the first horse was of normal color and had normal marks. Boreas had to be different. He needed to stand out from the rest, so God made him with a wing mark (mark of angels) on his shoulders and the roached mane so the mark will never be covered.
Now Boreas is not immortal. He lives a normal life span for a horse of the Arabian breed, about 20 years, sometimes 25. However, Boreas is like a phoenix. He is born, he lives, he dies, then is reborn again. He never dies of injuries or disease. He can not be killed. He just lives a normal life span.
Boreas is moderately faster and stronger than the average arabian, because he is god-born, after all, but otherwise is he normal. He is of a gentle, serene nature, protective of those around him, honest and true (in the way of horses), and especially, adores children.
His foals, if he breeds, are all just as wonderful as Boreas is himself, though they do not have the phoenix quality of their sire.
So this is Boreas, horse of the Heavens, come to earth.
