Appearance & Personality

Talindir stands at 1.81 meters (almost 6 feet) with a bulky figure. He's got long black hair and beard, which contrasts with his pale skin and clear blue eyes. He' s usually seen walking around with black, tight-fitting clothes (No point in using armor thanks to his powers as a blooded). As a person he's... not EVIL, but he certanly doesn't care much about others. He respects strenght, whatever form it takes, and carries (or tries to) any job given by someone superior with inflexibility and decision. This said, he doesn't necessarily seek a physical confrontation- success can be attained even through words. He's not willing to lower himself to seek compromises, thought, unless his companions talk him into it.

Background

Talindir was born from Elesia and Tristram Thorn, two nobles of different branches (Tristram being one of the younger brothers of Lady Khaterine Thorn, the family's figurehead, and Elesia being a distant cousin of a lesser family). With them being Blooded there was little surprise when Talindir showed his powers, which awarded him the attention of many due to his status (both as a Blooded and as one of the direct nephews of Lord Clovis). Said pressure contribuited in shaping his growth where he cultivated his own strenght and powers, frequenting and following the adults to learn from them rather then cultivating personal relationships with his peers. The more he grew the more he came to think that in the world you needed to be strong- that led him to enter direct service at 19 years under his aunt, Lady Katherine, knowing that a successful carrier would lead him to greater heights (or to death, but he doesn't refuse a little gamble).

Relationships (PCs)

Morris Thorn: Like with most of his peers, he didn't interact much with him, neither before he left nor when he came back. He does respect him because of his military experience and fighting skills, and is likely to follow his directives. He doesn't know much about Morris past, nor does he particularly care.

Nuri Khejiri: He doesn't know what to think yet. The few jobs they had haven't been enough to form an impression of they, but the Blooded powers and potions are sure to be handy. He also wonders how Nuri entered into Lady Katherine's service.

Caraíbos: As long as they avoid talking about politics Talindir accepts him, his blades and his ways with people that the noble lacks. Talindir heard a few stories about him and hopes that he won't be dragged in them.

Relationships (Others)

Lady Katherine Thorn: He admires her and fears her, and is likely to do everything he can to appease his "boss".

Eugene Thorn: If Talindir knows little of Morris he knows (and cares) even less about Eugene. As of now he's just one of those faceless people that were around the house before he went away.
