Background:
First born: Given the name Corban at birth meaning a gift to god. As he grew into a young man under the tutelage of his father, he was taught in the ways of war, love, scholarly, and religion. His father being a fanatic of the one God, focused on religion. Mean while his brother a former mercenary taught him the ways of war, the good as well as the bad. These two teachers were crucial in the way Theodore turned out.

At the young age of 12 Corban had well surpassed his brother with a sword shield and bow. He said good bye to his parents, and went with his brother as his old mercenary group was reforming, having run out of money. During this 5 year trip, Corban learned of a new religion lead by the druids. He could not believe that there were any other followers than that of the one God. Over the 5 years Corban keened his skills with the sword and his devotion to the one God and took a vow to punish these followers of these false gods.

When Corban returned to his home at the age of 17, with as much wealth as he could dream of, he found his father and passed away shortly after he and his brother left of unknown causes. Having nothing else to blame, he blamed the false gods for taking his father from him. As he prepared himself for a crusade of vengeance and righteousness against these infidels, he stumbled across a ritual to the Goddess Donn outside of his home town. This infuriated Corban as he unleashed his anger on these followers of the wicked Goddess. As morning broke Corban had finished torturing the last of the hooded figures. As he collected the bodies to burn them he found a sight that would haunt his dreams for the rest of his life. His mother lay before him in a pool of blood, her face wrought with agony and pain.

He could not believe his own mother was a follower of the false gods. This only enforced his version of this father's murder. His mother seizing the chance when he and his brother left, poisoned their father. Throwing his mother in with the rest of the bodies he set fire to the pile and left for Abertawe to start his crusade. As Theodore, a gift from god, he would cleanse the land of its foul and unholy.

Personality Profile:
Theodore is a twisted version of a holy crusader. He takes delight in watching the impure infidels twist and wither in pain as he cleanses their souls so they may be accepted in the true God's loving arms. His whole life is bent around this crusade; every waking moment is spent in the pursuit of this goal of cleansing the world. Every thought is devoted to new ways to achieve it. His emotions are worn freely for everyone to see.

Physical Profile: While his father left him his muscular frame, his brother was left with his good looks. Theodore is strapped with muscle from his constant training. He is found either in his cross encrusted armor or in his church robes that he wears in repent for the human blood he spilt in the cleansing of the impure. His dark black hair and his almost glowing blue eyes on his glory twisted face is the last thing his victims.

Skills and Abilities:
While unstoppable in combat Theodore has other talents that help him in his crusade. He is very knowledge in the human anatomy, which he uses to aid him in his cleansing of the soul, fore he knows what he can do and where to do it without killing the person while causing them unbelievable amounts of pain. He is skilled tracker and hunter, which he learned during his years as a mercenary. While schooled in the ways of court, he finds it too deceitful and full on sin to participate.

Special Notes:
Theodore has an uncontrollable hate for followers of the druidic gods.
