Absurdisan
Artisan of the Absurd
Name: Eadric Adhemar Guillemot
Age: 61
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetero/Straight
Bio: Eadric Adhemar was the eldest of three children, son of Oswald and Julienne Guillemot and heir to the Guillemot fortune and estate. His family had come into money in generations past, and each successor had continued the family’s financial and philanthropic ventures to ensure their lasting legacy and continued success. In the mundane world the Guillemot name is associated both with grand wealth and humanitarian efforts, with many of their companies and they themselves regularly donating vast sums to charitable organisations.
However, the Guillemot name is also well-known among the ranks of the Templars. Oswald himself was a notable Templar of repute, hunting mages for decades. Eadric was initiated into the Templars when he was found to be of suitable constitution and temperament, as was his sister Rohesia a few years later. His brother Godwin, youngest of the siblings, was deemed unsuitable for Templar duties, and was never ingratiated into the order.
For four decades Eadric has served the Templars loyally, hunting and killing his own share of mages and doing the order proud. With his father since passed and his mother in round-the-clock care, he maintains his family’s public legacy alive through managing their global conglomerate empire. He has also married a lovely woman named Olivia whom he loves deeply, but has kept her out of the Templars for her own safety.
Magic Specialisation: None
Combat Skills: Eadric is highly skilled with a sword, favouring a double-edged bastard sword. He usually wields just one, leaving one hand free to grapple, punch, shove, or manipulate whatever he wants. He is also proficient with a pistol, though he prefers to use one up close rather than at any great distance.
Weapon(s): A bastard-sword named Sovereign etched with runic markings, and a pistol with similarly-etched bullets. The runes negate magic, allowing him to slice and shoot through most magical effects, barriers, and attacks. He also possesses a bullet- and stab-proof vest that also nullifies magic, which he wears at almost all times beneath his clothes. Finally, he has a magic-detecting device that allows him to track targets. All of these are provided by the Templar order.
Pet: A large newfoundland dog named Huntsley, though he stays with Olivia and isn’t a mage-hunting dog. The Templars do have them, though Eadric disagrees with the practice.
Spirit Animal: None
Personality: Eadric loves humanity and wants nothing but the safety, protection, and prosperity of mankind. He frequently gives money to the homeless on the street and donates to charitable organisations both in his own name and through his family’s corporations. His protective nature toward man only makes his hatred of magic and its ilk stronger.
He views magic as abhorrent for numerous reasons, but chiefly because of the overwhelming threat it poses to the mundane world. The thought that one individual can set fire to an entire city on a whim with no oversight enrages him, and he will serve the Templars to extinguish the threat at all costs until it no longer exists.
Likes: Red wine, the piano, driving through the British countryside, fencing
Dislikes: Coffee, self-serving upper-class fundraisers, mages and magic in general, travelling by train
Strengths: Highly intelligent, peak physical fitness and strength, accomplished swordsman, ruthless, calm under pressure
Weaknesses: His age is starting to affect his endurance and stamina while fighting, must wear glasses due to being short-sighted, loathes having to keep his wife and brother in the dark about his Templar duties and the danger he has put them in by joining the order
What is your goal in life: To end the magical threat to humanity at all costs, until no one need fear the unknown dangers any longer.
