Personal history

Grew up on the streets of Be-Didhemmo. Ran into a lot of trouble. Joined the local militia rather than serve time in jail. Young lieutenant in the Nazinga army, saw Theren's skill while passing through, and thinking this could add to her growing portfolio for a promotion, she brought him into the army.
 
Training and discipline worked well for Theren. He learned to read and write, and started focusing on finding that thread of magic that flows through the world. It seemed trouble still found him wherever he went. From there, lieutenant got her promotion, and I spent three years of my life serving in the service of Shadowfell. Near the end of my tour, there was some trouble in Shadowfell. Marchnig to battle, my brothers and sisters by my side, I felt at peace. I finally felt at home. Then, all hell broke loose. Only a few of us survived, but we won the day. I was given a battlefield promotion for my actions, but as soon as my service was complete, I left Uthat and Nazinga. Hopefully forever. I've seen more than my share of those crazy cultists.
 
Worked my way across Nazinga, picking up jobs where a blade, shield and bow could be used, and finally took on with a merchant band passing through Velolonderius. Contracted with a merchant band for 2 years, protecting the cargo ships as they sailed the seas. Discovered the life on the sea was not for me.
 
Took up with a mercenary band, and started travelling the roads throughout the Righteouslands. A few things I've learned along the way:

1. Bonds formed through battle are bonds that last


2. Petty people find themselves on the wrong side of a blade, and rightfully so


3. Titanholders don't understand what true pain and fear are. They know nothing


4. Booze makes things worse, always

Education

Taught myself to read and write. Very pragmatic approach to life, and schooling. I don't want to hear your theories, just tell me what I need to know and I'll master whatever you give me.

Employment

Sword, shield and bow for hire. Few years protecting ships, and caravans.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Field promotion to sergeant during the battle of blood. No, I don't want to talk about it.

Failures & Embarrassments

Was homeless most of his young life. Begged and stole to survive. When his drunk ass father found himself dead in an alley, Theren felt nothing. No grief, no relief, just numb. Burying the body was just another task to be done.

Mental Trauma

There's some PTSD going on here.

Intellectual Characteristics

Alert, and very smart, Theren can take in a battlefield and identify the weak points just as easily as studying a tome in a library. Libraries are dusty though.

Morality & Philosophy

Morals are for those who can fill their bellies without a concern about where their next meal is coming from.
