Personality
xx Quiet - Titus is a man of few words. He won't talk to anyone unless they ask a question directed towards him. Sometimes he thinks out loud, but only mutters are heard from others.
Protective - To those he befriends, he will lay his life down for all of them. He is willing to sacrifice himself to save those he loves.
Hard Working - Titus will not return to an employer until the job is donw and he is wanting another one. Titus is one to persevere through some of the tough circumstances, no matter the potential effects from it.
Independent - As a branch from his choice to remain silent, Titus has rarely gone out with a band or party of individuals. Titus has worked alone since he started wandering to lands of Skyrim. If given the opportunity, he is willing to have a companion or two...but none have offered. Not that he minds hearing the sounds of the nature.
History
xxTitus, like most Bretons before him, was born in High Rock. He can only slightly remember what his parents looked like. His parents showed the desire to want to leave their homeland in search of new adventures, as so the story went. However, while migrating towards Skyrim, his parents were attacked by bandits. His mother protected the baby at all costs, and to the bandits, he was invisible. He was alone with his parents corpses and a now empty wagon for an unknown number of hours or days before being picked up by a wanderer traveling towards Skyrim as well. Titus was dropped off at a city called Riften in the renown, Honorhall Orphanage. He was left at the doorstep with a note of where he was located when found and the conditions of his biological parents.
At the orphanage, he would only stay a couple of months before adoptions were made available, apparently after one of the owners was killed by an unknown assailant. The baby Titus was taken by an interracial wedded couple of a Bosmer mother, and a Nord Father. They were of nobility and travelled towards Falkreath to establish their mansion style home in the outskirts of the main city. Titus's adopted mother was a graduate of the College of Winterhold; one who knew how to use a bow and practically a genius in alchemy, and restoration, while his adopted father was a former member of the Blades who was honorably discharged after the psychological effects of his platoon being obliterated in a dragon attack. Titus was taught how to read and write as soon as he was able to walk on his own.
His parents would give him a couple of years before he was to wield his first weapon, a wooden sword. On his free time, he would be seen slashing into some nearby trees with not one but two wooden swords at a time. His father saw the potential Titus had as a future warrior. His new skill as a combatant was one thing, but his socializing skills needed work. Sure he knew how to read, write and speak...but he chose to live a shy, quiet life whenever the family would go into town. He was okay with that, as he became a favorite to the townspeople of Falkreath, due to be one of the very few children that did not stir up trouble. Because of his good he started doing small errands and even made some gold out of it. Some children got jealous, with a couple of them even starting to bully Titus out of forking over the gold. Titus knew how to fight, and with his father's basic training, the bullies stood clear.
At 10 years old, he was given a real sword by his father and began to go to the next stage of training to fight. Dual wielding swords was still his main skill, but new how to wield a single weapon. His mother soon taught him how to master a bow, and grew to have a major knack for it. Same went for alchemy. Titus learned many things in a span of four years. At the age of 14, he went out on his first hunt, as an independent wanderer. His boundary lie only in the Falkreath Hold to the ruins of Helgen. On his first hunt, he was able to snag a couple of deer and three wolves. By his fifth hunt, he snagged a rogue cave bear. His parents were proud, noticing his potential of becoming a great warrior.
The news reached to the Jarl of Titus's skill and he was rewarded well. The Jarl of Falkreath gave Titus the opportunity of being a housecarl for him once he was of age. Titus would turn it down, for the time being, and just wanted to focus on mastering his skills with a bow and sword. However, things would take a turn for the worse...
Titus was returning from another hunt when he heard loud chants, the sounds of spells, swords clanging, and other cries. His home was being invaded by a band of something...necromancers...daedra worshippers...something. From the distance, out of anger, Titus was able to pick off some of the invaders of his home, before turning to his swords to take out the rest. Titus was able to get out of that fight with a few lacerations from swords and a couple burns from fire spells, but was ok in the end. However, his parents would not get the same results. In their bedroom, Titus found his parents lying in a pool of blood, laying next to five seemingly brute warriors. Titus spent the rest of the night looting the invaders, in order to find something behind the motive of their attack. All he found were Daedric books and poison recipes, and soul gems. Titus finally found a single note of assassination, but it was not the symbol of the Dark Brotherhood...it was mercenary work.
For the next few weeks, Titus decided to sell his former mansion, and live with the Jarl of Falkreath, who kept his new fortune in the highest protection. The Jarl grew to have a very close bond with Titus, considering him a son that he was never able to bear. The young man would continue to train, just with the guards of the city as well as learning of tactics from some of the civil war veterans that worked and some who travelled from afar. He gained the trait and preferred the style of stealthy combat, taking enemies out from afar. The guards soon began to call him out in terms that he was the next initiate of the thieves guild or the dark brotherhood. Titus had a lot to think about.
Would he join a faction to make a living, or would he be on his own, finding work wherever he went. He liked the idea of mercenary work, or escorting clients across the lands of Skyrim. At the age of 19, he would leave Falkreath to become an adventurer. Reluctant at first, the Jarl would accept this thought and believed it was the best for him to explore the land. Aware of his fighting style, The Jarl paid the blacksmith to make Titus a ranger type of armor: lightweight, hidden pouches, color of nature, and even an armored hood to stay to the shadows. Titus was always allowed to come back to Falkreath anytime and would keep the stash safe and heavily guarded.
Titus managed to hold his own out in the wild lands. He found mercenary work, which was mostly escorting missions from town to town. He was able to explore many parts of Skyrim that he had often read about in the books. Every chance he gets, Titus likes to take on bandit parties and sell their profits for his own gain. In the meantime, he still continues to one day find his adopted parents' murderers and extract revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth or a tooth, a life for a life.
