Personal history
Balthazar worked for Big Brothers prior to his encounter with the Celestial, and was considered a low level criminal in the organisation. He was treated poorly by his boss at the time, Jasper Kilarney and was not living the fullfilled life he had expected. There as a little bit of goodness in him, even though he was a criminal, as he did come to help Ariuk when he thought she was in trouble in the alley.
After suffering the horrific trauma of the blend, Merakesh Larkin carried him inside the Temple that backed into the alley to hope the Ascended there would be able to heal him. The Ascended found him a few hours after Merakesh had left him, and he was badly injured and unconcious. They were able to stabalise him, and move him to the Asylum.
It is uncertain as to why the other Ascended did not pick up the Celestial within Balthazar, however it could be because the trauma also extended to the Celestial. She was hybernating during this time, which meant that Balthazar appeared an injured Daemonkin suffering amnesia. As he had no family or close friends, no one came looking for him or 'claimed him'. It took 8 months and then Merakesh, Eli Fleetfoot and Dougal McKenzie negotiated his release with authorities.
Mental Trauma
When Balthazar was forced to become Ascended by the celestial who left Ariuk, he was not prepared the way a bonding ritual would enable. Due to the fact that the Celestial was traumatised by the sudden death of her previous host, and that Balthazar was both a Daemonkin and ill-prepared for such a bonding, he suffered mental trauma from the experience. It severed all memory from before the bond, however there are moments where Balthazar feels like he can recollect something, but it never comes to fruition.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
Balthazar didnt like to hurt anyone or damage anything, as a result he stayed as nuetral as possible through fights, often healing enemies and allies alike.
He was also no very good at climbing, particularly ladders.
Hygiene
Balthazar loved to clean and remain clean himself. This seemed to be something that developed only from after the blend.
