**Theodore Maxwell "Ted" Blanchard** is one of the protagonists and title characters of the Blanchard and Blanchard Crusades comics.

## History

He was born on December 24, 1983, in Seattle, Washington, as the only son of criminal Edward Cowell, age 24, and college student Nancy Annis, age 19.

His father already had another daughter from a previous marriage, Vitalily, and soon once again moved on to partner up with an underage girl named Vera Willmer, and their daughter, Ted's half-sister, Bonnie Willmer, was born when Ted was less than a year old.

Once Vera was of legal age, Edward married her, murdered her, and was taken into custody.

When Ted was five, his father was executed by the state of Florida in the electric chair.

His mother remarried a bank teller named Ron Blanchard, who brought Ted two more half-sisters, Rebecca and Moonwalker.

In 2002, Ted turned 19 and moved to Euclid, Ohio. Three years later, he met John Ahner at a bar in Euclid, and they developed a friendship after being kicked out.

Later that year, Ted and John attempted to rob a local bank, but were foiled when the guard called the police. They sought refuge at Vitalily's house, and the FBI declared them to be fugitives.

On May 9, 2006, Ted married John in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and moved his family to Miles City, Montana.

In 2009, he became president of Canada, but soon was forced to flee to Austria once it was revealed he had a moose allergy.

In 2018, he and John adopted a daughter, Stella.

## Appearence

Ted is a thin, white male of average height. He has ice blue eyes and dark brown hair, though it is later died black.

His usual attire is a black t-shirt, brown jeans, a tan jacket, and brown buckled shoes.

At his wedding, he wore black jeans and a loose white shirt with long sleeves.

As "Anthony Weiner," his alias, he wears a pink and green Hawaiian shirt, tinted sunglasses, plaid sweatpants, and orange clogs.

As president of Canada, he wears a panda mask, pink hat, a long, yellow, pink, and blue blazer, cyan, white and pink striped slacks, and black and blue shoes, with a cane.

In his camping attire, he wears his black t-shirt, camouflage shorts and grey flip-flops.

As a psychic, he wears white suit jacket covered in diamonds and a grey slouch hat.

On Christmas, he wears his usual outfit, but the shirt has red and white stripes and the jacket is adorned with Christmas lights.

## Personality

Ted could be considered a psychopath, but his ability to form lasting connections with people would make him a sociopath instead. He enjoys chaos, stating that his favorite song is "Revolution 9" by The Beatles, a song known for being nightmarish and having no discernable meaning or purpose.

He often chooses to simply disregard rules he doesn't like or understand. He is a master at getting out of trouble, evading capture by the FBI for the entire duration of his life in Miles City. He could be described as a "papa bear" type, often putting his family's safety above his own.

He likes to mess with people, even going so far as overthrowing the entire country of Canada so he could see how his cousin would react.
