Introduction

Thaddeus the Seer is a heavy weapons fighter who began fighting in the East Kingdom in the Shire of Rusted Woodlands circa 2018 CE. In that time he has accumulated friends who support him on the battlefield which showed him the value of honor and service. He now proudly serves as squire for Marquess Ryouko'jin-Of-The-Iron-Skies, Demon of the East and is a member of House Carpathia under Dread Lord Klaus Winterhalter von Walachey. His main weapons forms are two swords and polearm but he is also proficient with greatswords and the classic sword and shield.

Persona

Thaddeus the Seer can be described as a warrior from the 13th century at the time period observing the reign of Leszek II the Black (1279-1288 AD) and the years of the Golden Horde's invasion of Poland. Thaddeus was conscripted to arms for the Horde after surviving the second sacking of Sandomierz (1260 AD). Thaddeus's conscription to Nogai Khan and conversion to Tengrism led to the Piast Dynasty decreeing him as an apostate which motivated him to battle the state of Christendom. This fate landed in favor of eventually fighting alongside other like-minded groups within the Golden Horde including the Lithuanians, Ruthenians, and Khazars in the ranks of the Mongol army. Together they invaded Hungary including the disputed lands of Transylvania against the frontier forces of Béla IV. On this path Thaddeus faces the challenges the East Kingdom offers in the business of learning the codes of Bushido and Chivalry through the guidance of his comrades and peerage. At this time he inhabits the East Kingdom with the sentiment of his own homeland and culture in his heart.

Created works include ceramic effigy tobacco pipes from Algonquin, Iroquois, and Lenni-Lenape material culture during the Early Woodlands Period (1000-200 BCE). Other academic pursuits include covering topics on shamanism and multicultural philosophies in the Middle Ages while incorporating the principles and teachings of occult sciences.
