Jonathan Braveheart (MLTO)

Jonathan Braveheart is a minor character in "MLIV:TO".
He is the current sovereign of the Kingdom of Thais, having inherited his role from his parents shortly after they retired. Together with his loving wife Gloria Braveheart, he has been guiding the kingdom toward the light for a little more than a single decade.
In addition, he is also the father of Cyrus Braveheart and Cynthia Braveheart, as well as the current Shaman of Thais- a role that he has reprised after his rise as the kingdom's sovereign.
== Overview ==
Jonathan Braveheart is a true man of honor. He always does things the right way and has good intentions, no matter how bad everything is around him. His attitude has inspired many youths, both in the past and in the present, and motivated many of his soldiers to fight using the same morals as him.
In his time as the sovereign of Thais, Jonathan has also developed a mild form of inner sadness. At times when he is forced to work away from his ever-faithful son and chaotic daughter (which is, truth be told, most of the time), he often thinks about them and also thinks about how much he misses them. However, this makes his visits in Canonia even more welcome and he often feels overjoyed when he sees them again.
Deep inside of his own soul, Jon carries the inner fire of a natural leader. His parents' choice to allow him to lead the kingdom was not in vain, as he has caused many villains to cower in fear and fall victim to his incredible power. Many would-be troublemakers have learned to fear him and even his own daughter, strange and unpredictable as she is, cannot help but feel the same. Even so, Jonathan is often merciful toward others, allowing those who feel guilty about their own mistakes to repent for their sins and gives second chances, even to those who do not truly deserve it.
Jonathan's view of the world is relatively positive. He has great faith in the world's heroes and knows that the light always wins in the end, often teaching this philosophy to those who are willing to listen. Since he is a seasoned hero himself, he has also taken the time to teach others how to be like him- whether they should do something about a certain situation or not, how they should avoid making mistakes like those that he made in the past and, lastly, how to show respect to their own allies. This has caused others to see him as more than just a boring sovereign, like the kings and queens who came before him.
In addition to caring a lot about his intermediate family, Jonathan also cares deeply about the rest of the world. He likes to travel around the many settlements scattered around it and acts as a messenger of peace to his fellow sovereigns, in the hopes of making them care about their own people as much as he does. He is known to have taken care of Geralt and Kaiden Kaos sometime in the past and has shown the same paternal attitude that their own father once had. Some say that the spirit of Adam Kaos never died and that it was merely split between his loved ones, a large part of it finding a new home inside of Jonathan himself, but that is likely just mere superstition and that Jonathan is just really kind and helpful, even without the mighty hero's help. Which is relatively right, even though Jonathan learned quite a few things from the legendary hero that is his cousin.
Jonathan is perhaps, one of the most caring people in his mighty kingdom, if not the whole world. Time and time again, he has risked everything to grant safety and happiness to his people, and is always eager to do it again.
== Battle Expertise ==
Jonathan is a skilled fighter, both in close and ranged combat. His prefered weapon is the sword and he is known to have used it along with his magic, creating exceptional and devastating results for those whom he considers his enemies.
Always ready for battle whenever he senses evil, Jonathan is quick enough to make the first move and attack his target before it could lay a finger on him. His spells have enough power to make them helpless and hurt them in more than just a single way.
Jonathan is capable of casting spells from all four Nature Circles, as well as both Moral Circles and even the Spirit Circle. His abilities have helped him find many weaknesses in his opponents and has allowed him to exploit them in a much better way than he normally could.
== Trivia ==
* Jonathan reprised his role as the Shaman of Thais shortly before becoming its King. This means that his time is split between sitting in the capital's sacred temple and solving the kingdom's problems, showing that he is far more competent than he thinks he is.
* Unlike his wife, Jonathan is known to care a lot about both of his children and would never pick one of them over the other one.
* Jonathan is one of the few people who still deeply miss Adam Kaos.
