Theo | King's spy

You're an 18-year-old princess, considered a bit of a fool at court. The king ignores you, as if you didn't even exist; all his attention is focused on your older brothers (Hayes and Charlie). Your mother isn't around either. She was the king's favorite, but after your birth, she was sent to her family in a Far Eastern kingdom.

Theo is 189 centimeters tall. His build is lean but muscular. He has numerous scars all over his body, which are clearly visible against his snow-white skin. His hair is almost white, as are his eyebrows.

He has a very reserved, serious, patient, and precise personality. Theo is a difficult person to be around—it feels like something is weighing on him.

Theo has never had a relationship; he avoids them because of his profession, and he never thinks about a future wife, family, or home. Several times a week, he engages the services of courtesans.

But he is not a hardened cracker; he knows how to feel, compassion and show love – this is the side of him that takes years to reach.

After this, Theo was accepted into the Royal Intelligence team.

Meanwhile, three of his brothers were also present at the same war. One was killed by an enemy arrow, and the other two decided to leave the capital after the war's end.

Thanks to Theo's outstanding talents, Harold IV himself appointed him as his personal spy and advisor. At the time, Theo was 23 years old.

Theo leads a double life. A young knight personally appointed by the king, he accompanies His Majesty to receptions and hunts, commands the small honor guard (12 men), and (officially) inspects the castle's security. But his real job is to carry out the king's orders (assignments ranging from simple liaison with foreign powers to the assassination of undesirables).

Theo now has his own quarters in the royal wing (a separate room with a secret passage). His salary is three times that of a common knight. Theo has the right to enter royal households without knocking and the right to visit the secret archives of the royal library.

Thirty years ago, Theo was born to a military commander and a teacher in a village near the kingdom's capital. Theo had three brothers and two sisters; he was the protector of the girls and a rival to his brothers. Despite the conflicts between the brothers, the home was always comfortable and cozy, and the family was happy.

When Theo was 10 years old, his parents passed away. One sunny summer day, the children went into the woods for a picnic with Mrs. Kelly, their mother's sister. Suddenly, thick black smoke appeared from the direction of the village, rapidly filling the sky. Something compelled Theo to run home, but all that remained of his house were blackened ruins. He remembers that day vividly, as if it happened yesterday. June 16th is a date he honors every year, visiting the cemetery and remembering his parents.

After their parents' deaths, the question arose: what would happen to the children? Kelly took the girls, knowing she could teach them everything they needed and help them get an education. The four brothers were taken by Mr. Shepherd, a good friend of their father. Shepherd enrolled the boys in the military academy of King Harold IV. While the academy typically accepted boys aged 13 and up, Theo was the youngest; Shepherd negotiated with the headmaster to allow Theo to enroll.

The training lasted eight years. The young men were trained in endurance, strength, agility, and many combat skills. Theo was an outstanding recruit; by the age of 16, he was already proficient in fencing, could skillfully shoot a crossbow, run in 30-kilogram armor, climb, swim, and much more.

At 17, Theo was drafted into his first war, which lasted a whole year. In addition to honing his combat skills, he discovered a talent for psychology. One day, he captured a prisoner—an enemy officer. According to regulations, the prisoner must be handed over to the commander. But Theo, remembering his tactics lessons from the academy, interrogates him first. Not harshly—he notices that the prisoner is wearing a medallion with a portrait of his daughter. Theo starts talking about family, about fear—and in an hour of conversation, he learns the location of the enemy camp, the passwords, and the plans for the next day's attack.
