((I'll take another stab at this...be warned- it probably will suck))
Name: Tirenius Thornkeeper (Born Fargul Stormshore)
Other names: The Axeman, The Woodcutter, Stormcrow,
Age: 46
Race: Forsaken (Crow)
Description: Thick set and muscled well, a giant of a man standing at 6'6 with broad shoulders and collosal hands and feet. Beneath the hood of a worn old brown cloak green piercing eyes stare out, narrowed slits and shadows of their former selves. Jet black hair that has not been tended to is cut jaggedly off at the man's shoulders. A goatee of similar cut and colour has grown upon the swarthy and harderned face.
Before his change, Tirenius was a handsome man who could do a good day's work and more than a few women had their eyes on him. Now he looked tired, weary and aching for sleep. His movements are light, always moving on the balls of his feet, and ocassionally he will shake himself as if throwing water off himself. On the back of his left shoulder is a tattoo of an olive tree with two doves meeting above it. Slightly ironic when he is now an instrument of battle. His hands are gnarled and curve. His fingernails are sharp and his nose is hooked, like a beak.
Underneath his shabby mud-brown cloak, the man wears more dull colours: a gun-metal grey long-sleeved shirt, black trousers with various stitches, rough faded brown leather gloves and a pair of enormous brown boots for hiking. When he is expecting a fight, he brings a simple woodcutter's axe.
On the whole, the appearance is a strange combination of Shabbiness and Intimidation of a man that could break you in half with his bear hands.
Personality: Reserved and hard-working, Tirenius hardly speaks more than a few words at any given time. He is unnervingly methodic in his work, cutting through rebels like a knife (or axe in this case) through butter. He has been known to play a flute when he thinks no one is looking, much to the sniggering and jeers of the other Forsaken. These offenders often end up with broken limbs.
History: Before his capture and change, Tirenius was a woodcutter (possibly explaining his axe). He would journey out into a forest (sometimes taking days to find still-living wood) or clearing and cut down trees and take them back to Manticore. When he would go out, he would wear a brown cloak he had bought with the earnings from about three weeks tree felling. He was paid well enough and he lived with his wife, Maria, and children, Josan and Tamara. They lived happily together, not getting involved with the Guardians. Tirenius played the flute well, and he would often lullaby his children to sleep and play to his wife long hours into the night. One night, Tirenius (or Fargul) returned home after making a deal with a young man that would keep his family well-fed for weeks! He had been offered a lot of money to sell his next lot of trees to a group of some sort. Maria was thrilled. So, for the next few weeks Fargul took his trees to a little warehous on the west side of the city, and he was payed well.
One night, he was coming home again, and he turned into his street to see all the light in his house turned out. The door was broken in and he could hear nothing from inside. Rushing into the house, the poor man found a wolf-like Forsaken feasting on his wife's entrails. Howling with rage, the woodcutter hoisted his axe and felled the creature in one sweep. Soon, more came and Fargul was taken away.
He died that night. Tirenius Thornkeeper was born.
This all happened about two months ago. Immediatly put into the night police, Tirenius showed his talent immediatly by killing four well-known members of the Rebellion, successfully foiling an assassination attempt commited by the well-known terrorist "The Vigilante" and also rooting out various spies.
Political standing: Guardians.
Abilities: Amazing eyesight, hand-eye-coordination on par with that of a martial artist and a almost paranormal ability to jump and almost glide short distances.
