So the idea that Aesop was often envisioned as a former slave is the reason the character is currently depicted as an African. I mean, I suppose Africa is not that far removed from Greek realms so Africans likely littered much of the territory even in the sandal-punk era. Partial description of what he supposedly looked like include being ugly... possibly deformed. Maybe explains his weird arm (which has yet to be addressed by RT).
