Full Name:Thomas Matthew Bishop
Nickname or Alias:Bishop, Tom, 'The Falcon', Thomas De Falcone Ti'Bishop
Personality: Rash, impatient and often indecisive, Thomas has never been the best leader. Even when his father, a low baron in the Imperial Capital had him appointed captain of an Imperial Mounted Infantry unit.. he still was never good at leading. His decisions often get him in more trouble than anything, usually foolish and rushed. He's a sweet man, simple, kind and always putting others first even at the greatest cost to himself.
Personal History: Born in the nearby empire to one Batholomew Edmon Cassus and his witching matron;Rebekah Delcine Bishop. Thomas' life was common for his class, a court page from the ages of six to ten. From ten to sixteen he was a squire first for the prince and later for a half-beast commander of the knights, who he later became lieutenant to. At twenty he was made the new commander of his unit, the council felt his mentor -and closest thing to a farther he'd known- was 'too old' for the front lines. He felt he'd betrayed his master for this. He found later his father intended to use Thomas' new position to gain from the soon to come internal feud within the region. Two years later the civil war ended and it became a struggle for power with a few groups of knights. Thomas had all but abandoned his country's service and father, never really knowing the man and certainly not set to serve his wicked designs. Fighting for the Empire itself, not a man. He did his best to fight this tyrannous regime that sought to take control and dedicated himself and his men to protecting it's people and way of life. After the fighting had supposedly stopped he found the village he'd been living in with his mother and sister was on fire. He rescued them and many other villagers, finally he'd save one of the knights responsible for the fires, he'd been trapped under falling timbers while looting. Thomas saved him, lifting the scorching beams by shouldering them off with nothing but thin steel chain and cloth between his flesh and the hot fire. His arm was badly burnt. -- It took some months to recover and another year to help the village back to it's feet, during this he found a note, nothing special but a simple note about a valley in danger. Mounting his horse with the simplest of equipment, a good sword and a heavy purse he searched for this place.

Personal Description: You see a young man, barely into his twenties. His angled, hawkish face is smooth and attractive, fresh stubble on his face. Only slightly obscuring brow and gentle, intelligent hazel eyes; his brown hair was lightly kissed from much time in the sun, as was his taught flesh. Muscled form was certainly a soldier's physique, the man could swing a sword. (Or hoe!) His clothes are of fine make, all seem to be custom tailored and worn naturally.
