Teague

Teague is a Mid Court Autumn Fae that found he had a talent for delivering messages without leaving any trace. He works mostly for the nobles and common folk of the Autumn court but occasionally ventures beyond court lines if the pay is good enough. Teague loves romance and will often incite things if her thinks a couple is meant to be. He lost the love of his life, and wants to make sure that others are able to find theirs.

## History

Teague grew up with little other than the love of his mother and for him that was plenty. Due to a single parent household, Teague often found ways to make money to help his mother out when he was young. She always called him "acorn". She had always been somewhat sickly so the more responsibilities Teague could take on, the better. As he grew older, Teague found a way to travel amongst the shadows in a way that removed him from the eyes of anyone looking for him. This way of fast traveling and remaining hidden proved to be incredibly valuable. Turns out, people will pay well for secrets and the delivery of messages they'd rather not have pass through the typical channels.

Teague earned enough money to move his mother to the human world, into a safe cottage where she can enjoy her garden and dogs. He still visits her frequently and started to get into the habit of stopping by a cafe where he could grab his mother a coffee on his way to visit her. On these visits to the cafe he began to see a woman that he fell in love with. Nat did not return his affections at first and seemed quite annoyed with his presence. Teague, however, was not respectful of that boundary. He tried to talk to her frequently until her walls broke and they actually began to speak. She shared books she liked and he shared in return.

Teague proposed on their anniversary and was thrilled when Nat said yes. He was open and honest with her about the Fae and the courts, and barely believed it didn't scare her off. Teague stepped away from his dangerous High Court clients in order to better protect Nat. Unfortunately one day Teague was led to believe that Nat had been killed by a rogue Fae.

After awhile of grieving, Teague returned to his higher risk work which brought him back around the Autumn court. Here he began to grow close to Juniper. Juniper seemed to hurt in the same way as him and he found himself just wanting to see her happy. It didn't take long for him to see that she wanted the same for him and for the first time since Nat he started to feel again.

Later Teague learned that Nat had not been killed, but instead had her memory altered by someone he considered his best friend, Cillian. This information was revealed to him by Hyphae. He confronted Cillian with this and was disappointed and hurt to find it was true. After hours of arguing, he left the decision do the right thing up to Cillian. Now he waits.
