History

Tristan started out his life like every other Clockwork. He was created, from Sionek's determination to succeed in his experiments. Shortly after, maybe only a year or so after his creation, his 'younger' sister was created from the same essences as him. When she, too, was abandoned immediately as a failure Tristan took her himself, and ran off with her. The only safe place he could think of was with the humans, so that is where they went.

Initially, Tristan raised his sister himself, as they lived amongst the humans. And though initially he had moved in with them from necessity, Tristan quickly came to be genuinely fascinated by them, and even grew to like them, unlike his sister who after she discovered she wasn't one held herself aloof. For over 100 years they lived like this, moving around the continent as time passed. Then, however, something happened that tore Tristan away from his beloved sister.

He fell in love with a human girl, one who accepted him even when he told her what he was. Not knowing how to explain this to his sister, he eloped with the girl, and ran off to London. He let his sister know where he went at that point, of course, but there is no recollection of her ever visiting.

Tragedy struck only a few short years into the relationship however. In the year 1666, on the 2nd of September, the Great Fires struck London. Tristan's beloved was one of those killed, even as he tried to shield her with his own body. Tristan himself was likely presumed dead, by all who knew him.

After the fires, Tristan seemed a changed man. Where he had been warm and welcoming before, he now seemed dark and guarded, his sharp wit keeping people away. Shortly after he found himself on a ship to the 'new world', where he settled in the area known as New York. Here was a new world, far away from everything he had known. Here, he could try and start over. That sentiment only lasted for another hundred years, however, before he was dragged into the American Revolution. Then again, at that point, he truly believed in the cause of freedom.

After that battle was won, Tristan went back to his peaceful living, moving onwards and westwards with each expansion. This was partially because he was getting restless, and partially to keep any from noticing that he never aged. This continued until the civil war, at which point his was again forced to fight, on the side of the Yankees. With this, Tristan decided that he'd had enough, and spent the next few years searching for a new place to be. This led him, through England, to reside in Japan just as the Meiji era was starting.

There, Tristan again spent a large number of years living a mostly peaceful life. He learned the language, their customs, their history, and even managed to be trained by a samurai in one of their dojos after proving himself properly respectful of their culture. He lived there until shortly after WWI, which he had been forced to participate in. After that, he again left the country to try and avoid war, running back to the place he felt he knew best. The United States.

Since this time, he's lived a quiet uneventful life, using his habit of being a packrat in the past to open up a business selling antiques and old books. With the way the country has been going though, as well as his nagging feelign that the past is catching up to him, Tristan has been planning to move back to London in order to confront whatever is coming.
