Toren Iscaroth bio

Name Toren Iscaroth/The Fox
Age 21
Appearance A young scruffy man, his black hair covering the back of his neck and his forehead. Deep green eyes piercing as shiny emeralds. His clothes are unwashed and torn hiding away a most expensive armour only one of great fortune could buy. The man's skin is tanned by the many hours of walking guard in the sun. He doesn't have the air that other rich have and tries to hide away his origin. He is reluctantly the sergeant of the Askarin Guard where he has to wear a shiny red armour with a massive golden A on the chest.
Weapon of Choice As every member of the Guard, Toren is trained in the long sword.Though he can use any sword as his father trained him when he was young.
Talents As a member of the Guard Toren has learned the skill of not only sword fighting but also basic hand to hand fighting and stealth. He uses these skills also during night-time where he is known as The Fox. He isn't the person you would find in a crowd.He usually hides in the fields where he draws landscapes a talent he got from his mother.
Occupation General of Askarin Guard working under Marshal Lukas Xaver.
History
Toren is the son of Elena (née Fradrich) and Lukas Iscaroth. Elena left her homecity Partino to search wealth and a job in the economic hart of the country, the port city Askarin. Not only did she find wealth but also love with the young Askarin General Trevor. But suddenly and terribly the Island of Demenor reacted against the long time repression, and the Cleansing of the Countries wich would take the life of their beloved Cardinal. When the Armada of Demenor hit shore many men where to schocked to actually understand what was going on, many people died defending their city. When the fleet turned tail, few stood fighting. Trevor who had defended the city until the bitter end was honoured and granted the title of Marshal due to the death of his predecor. When eventually the time came to retire he was granted a nice bit of gold.

Toren lived in wealth and luxury a privileged life, as a young boy he used to sit at the edge of his father's hunting fields to draw the many animals and landscapes. As most topians Trevor and Elena believed in incarnation and that a human if living a good life may ascend to the rank of God himself as privileged as they were they believed an eternal seat among the Gods shouldn't be far anymore. Toren had his doubts, the Gods were there to protect the weak while the only thing he saw was the strong protecting weak. He once saw a wounded fox, fighting on her last lifeforce defending it pups from an enraged bear..

As young boy Toren learned many sword techniques from his father all with the idea of the boy becoming Marshal himself. At age 18 he joined the Guard and rised in ranks easily. Enraged at this sight was Marshal Xaver, a soldier of Askarin who fought besides Toren's father and had to wait for years to get a spot in the army he envied only to discover that his usurper might be his son. But as General Toren soon discovered that the Guard's ranks were filled with rich and privileged and that the poverty was ignored, enraged with this idea he went to the main place of authority the Seat of Topas, not getting a decent solution he felt the only choice was to make up for his deeds during daytime as The Fox during nighttime.

But the Fox story soon took mythic proportions, Fox was shown as a murderer and the Guard unknowingly of this lie started a hunt for his head. At the lead of this hunt was Toren self, and the Marshal enraged at Toren's continued failures replaced his place with Agra Motey. Fox received unimaginable support from the many poor but inevitable somebody collected the reward and betrayed the Fox.
