Appearance

If Thaddius were to stand upright his tall, lithe frame would become apparent, but years of flinching before his masters' blows and bowing over a writing desk has led him to hunch his body into the folds of his Administratum robes as if he would rather not exist at all. Those who get a look under the hood of his cloak are met by piercing blue eyes set deep into a black, wart-ravaged face. His only concession to vanity is his carefully bleached white hair. Otherwise Thaddius looks like another ordinary bureaucrat going about is ordinary bureaucratic day - indeed he is so good at giving this impression that people often fail to remember him at all.

Background

Thaddius was the runt of the litter. His earliest memories are of being beaten by his mother and father for not living up to their image of the budding military hero of the Empire. Instead, Thaddius learnt to sneak, scheme and tattle. When his parents were both killed in some heroic last stand or other, Thaddius was secretly glad to be rid of them. That gladness did not last long: the Schola was even tougher and more unforgiving than his parents had been. At least it helped him develop his talents and showed him how he could use his intelligence in the service of his beloved Emperor. When he graduated, his military background and hatred for the mere cogs in the military machine made him a perfect choice for a Munitorium Quastor. Thaddius left the Schola convinced of his own superiority over those pathetic idiots who just carry the Emperor's weapons into meat-grinder after meat-grinder, just like his parents did.
