Thorren

“The warrior guided by the spirit serves humanity, the warrior without, serves the ego.”
-Thorren
== History ==
A knight from Guilddon, Thorren was a knight of the prestigious Queensguard, whose duty it was to protect the monarch. Disliked by his colleagues on the guard for his irascible and petty personality, he was exiled from Guilddon after he displayed a unforgivable and sudden outburst regarding favor shown to a knight much younger then he was. He left Guilddon to find service in the Final Empire, where he became a Lord. He was as disliked there as he had been in Guilddon, to the extent that Lord Alpha found him ugly and intolerable enough to merit the employment of a body double for Thorren that could appear at public and official events. Brought back by Tolumvire to serve Arendur, Thorren was relegated back to the role of a bodyguard and protector, which rankled his pride. Alongside the Arendurian Guard, he accompanied Tolumvire to Ragnarok, where he interposed himself between his lord and King Bolgar. He was killed in battle by the King of Ragnarok. 
== Personality ==
Jealous and quick-tempered, and possibly something of a maverick, Thorren lived with a chip on his shoulder, often feeling slighted and taken for granted. He inspired dislike and contempt from others, being spindly and stooped, with squarish face and a ugly, manic grin, and a glass eye. Despite his self-pitying personality and the perceptions of others, Thorren was loyal and brave to a fault, defending his charges with quixotic pride. He did not fear death, and despite his reputation, would have rather fallen on his own sword before betraying his masters. Category:Arendur
