His family has long since served as hunters and he wasn't going to be the first to disappoint. Training consisted of swordplay, marksmanship in both bow and crossbow, hand to hand combat, and lore. At the age of 19, Atticus was graduated his training after many long years. It wouldn't be till many months later when he was on his first case. A noble womans son killed in some magical ritual. Atticus was sent to figure out what happened and why. Upon arriving at the scene of the crime, Atticus was able to determine that the child was killed by a nonreuglated magic user who was attempting to use the child as a fuel source. With the knowledge at hand he was on the hunt. It wouldn't be till a few months later when the second murder happened. By this point he was closing in on the suspect. When he finally caught the murderer, Atticus learned that he had succeeded in using his victims as a fuel source. The murder was able to increase his strength to inhuman levels from the rituals. The fight that happened between the two was very taxing on Atticus. He had to constantly dodge his opponents attacks while waiting for opening. Luckily his opponent overextended his reach allowing Atticus to run his through with his sword. This is how his life for many years, the only exception being the occasional break or training. Luckily the group he works with are a neutral part unable to take part in war, unless one of the sides is using magic to corrupt or is using those that have fallen. Then and only then.
