[b][color=008000]History:[/color][/b] Teddy's mother, Martha, was the only child of a wealthy family in the Tallion Empire. She was 16 when her mother and father lost their fortune through a shared addiction to gambling on horse races; they were sentenced to serve life in prison to pay the debt. Before serving their sentence they married their daughter to a 25 year old cobbler named Wolfgang. The only item held over from the vast estate was an heirloom Saber marked with the family insignia of a prancing rooster. Teddy was born shortly after they were married and grew up caught between his mother's aristocratic nature and his hard working and humble lifestyle. Attaching to his mother he grew up thinking of hard labor as punishment; however, his father raised him with a sense of duty towards the family and he helped his father in the cobbler shop where he learned the fine art of shoe making and leather repair. Teddy had not made a lot of friends in his life, he rather found that talking to people was difficult, and he much preferred the solace of books. He did teach himself magic tricks with cards and coins because he thought people might be impressed but while many people found his tricks charming in the cobbler shop they only led to a single long term friend, a younger boy named Willhelm, who Teddy called Willy. Willy had an older brother who had died early in the wars Tallion fought against the kingdom of Caywen, and when he found Teddy something clicked and he hadn't left Teddy's side since, somewhat to Teddy's dismay. Willy followed Teddy to this war because he didn't want to loose another brother. The Schuster's were never fond of the Empire and lived in a small town for away from any big city. When the rebellion happened Teddy's mother decided that their family could find a new fortune as the Republic formed if they supported their efforts in the war. Teddy was sent to pursue soldiering as a career in the hopes their family might be a part of a "new" aristocracy. He showed up to base camp and got his uniform, there he met the people who would, in time, become closer than family.

He was sold as a plow horse but had a problem with being aggressive and hard to control. He was sold again, and then again, until he finally was brought down to Haventown and sold to Teddy's family for cheap. The horse is strong, and fast. He has taken a shine to Teddy in response to the boy's gentle touch and will nip at others if he thinks they're a threat.
