Boreas is one of the four seasonal wind gods that work for Aeolus, the master of all winds. Boreas is the North Wind and the god of winter. He settled down in Quebec, Canada, the oldest settlement in the North. His Roman counterpart is Aquilon. He's the only god who doesn't normally speak English in North America; he speaks French instead, as it is the language of his host country.
Boreas was known for his abduction of Orithyia, the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens. Boreas wooed Orithyia but she declined many times. Boreas eventually decided to take her by force, covering her in a cloud, spiriting her away, and transforming her into his immortal wife. She would bear him an immortal daughter, Khione, and two mortal sons, Calais and Zethes. With his brother; Zephyr, Boreas dwelt in the mountains of Thrace. Boreas' winds can be powerful and violent, causing great destruction.
