[hider=SOPHOS] Name: Sophos Ailred

Gender: Male

Appearance: [img]http://www.quantumgambitz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WIZARD2.jpg[/img]
Sophos' robes are a much brighter blue, however. Almost like you'd see in a children's book. He stands at around 6' tall, and is a light 150 pounds.

Age: 62

Race: Terminian Human

Skills: Alchemy, Knowledge of lore. 

Magic Abilities: Time Magic, near mastery. Sophos is incapable of creating stable portals as of now, however. His most successful attempt managed to last about three seconds before collapsing violently on itself.

Weapons: N/A

Inventory: Alchemical reagents, a satchel to carry them in, a book with every recipe he's ever used (Caboose it did other stuffff but I forget T.T) a magical floating chair, and a wand to help focus his magic with.

Bio: Sophos grew up in Termina, in Clock Town, and had an uneventful life until his marriage. He made a living by working in the town's library, and creating potions for people on the side, although he never charged much more than what one would need for ingredients. They had two children, but when Sophos was on a trip on day, a man broke into the house, killed his children, and impregnated his wife. Sophos saw the man when he returned, but out of concern for his family, he did not make chase. Unable to suffer the thought of bearing another man's child, his wife ran off into the mountains, giving birth to the boy in her last moments. The son was adopted and raised, his existence unknown to Sophos until much later in his life, and vice versa. After his wife and children's deaths, Sophos became a bit more reclusive, but still offered his services to those around him. 

Nearly a decade later, while he was travelling to Hyrule for ingredients, he encountered the man who'd murdered his family. Rather than killing him, he alerted the guards, who arrested him promptly. At his execution, Sophos stood silently as the man returned the populace's insults, claiming that only Sophos had a right to kill him. After the execution, Sophos found a bit of closure, but he was still much of a loner, spending his time with books and alchemical ingredients.

Skills: Excellent swordfighter, great with his magic, not much else: he's bred for combat.

Magic Abilities: Earth magic. Gaios uses it in a bit of an unorthodox manner, electing to use platforms and discs of earth to move and attack rapidly while evading being hit rather than tanking attacks, although his elemental affinity still makes him extremely durable.

Inventory: A red potion

Bio: Found almost frozen to death by a pair of mountain-dwelling folks, Gaios was raised under the name of Lucidon, learning how to make a living in the mountains, mainly through hunting. When he was little older than 12, his magical abilities manifested themselves, and his parents made the decision to send him to Castle Town in Hyrule for training. He learned under a charitable master who fed, sheltered and taught him so long as he made himself of use. At first, Lucidon joined the Hylian Guard when he became an adult, quickly earning favor among the locals for his kindness towards them. 

When the Templars came around, Lucidon was quick to jump ship and join them. His talents were quickly recognized, and he was brought into the elite echelon of Earth Knights. As time passed, the Templars became more influential, and he was seen as a calming presence when he was in Castle Town. However, one day when he was chatting with locals, he overheard talk about an old man who frequented the area, by the name of Sophos Ailred. For some reason, Lucidon couldn't help but listen to his story. After learning of the fate of Sophos's wife, he was stunned that something so horrible had happened to somebody so kind and beloved by people he rarely even met. Hearing about the killer's execution did little to assuage the pity and grief he felt for Sophos. This man had had everything he loved ripped from him, and yet he continued to make the long journey to Hyrule for his service to the residents of Clock Town. 

Soon, Lucidon was a touch obsessed with Sophos and his story. He'd listen to what anybody had to say, and even managed to collect a group of pictographs of Sophos, his family, and the man who destroyed all that. And then he looked in a mirror, changing his life. When he compared the photos, along with the timeline of the events, the similarities were too great to be coincidence. He'd known he was found as a child, rather than born to his parents. It bothered him little, as they still raised him lovingly. But now he knew something that shocked him: he was a child unwanted, burden to his mother and product of a heinous crime. With this news, he rechristened himself as Gaios, refusing to accept his biological father. To him, Sophos was more of a father than the man who sired him. He never blamed himself for any of what happened, but the revelation certainly didn't help his obsession with Sophos, who he'd learned was also a worshiper of the Goddesses in Termina.

When Thallus began his heretic hunt, Gaios used his influence and ability to join a task force specifically made to hunting down heretics to the One God. After discovering that Sophos was travelling with a group of heretics fighting against the Templars, Gaios's obsession lead him to an impasse. Would he betray the Order, or his birthmother's husband, the man he'd spent so long learning so much about? [/hider]
