Just a cursed sword living his best life. Knows how to fish without stabbing, and the secret art of using spices in cooking. Definitely won't steal your body, why would you even ask that?
It is a sword, forged in the tradition of the Havathi Order, or the sacred swordsmen. Its steel incorporates countless magical materials stretching back millennia, creating so complex a pattern in the steel as to have a mind.

Failures & Embarrassments
Lost his first body due to forgetting to feed it.
Mental Trauma
Was left in the woods for twenty years, alone. At some point, claims to have been struck by lightning. Does not understand how it came to be, and is animated by the magic of a broken soul. Feels cold, hunger, and fear as core aspects of its being, driving it both positively towards ceaseless self improvement, and negatively to ruthless destruction of any perceived threat or challenge.
