Theodore Boivin

Theodore is a engineer/scientist turned monster hunter after a horrific event from his past turned him from a man of science to one dedicated to hunting the creatures that hunt others.

History
Born in 1840 near the outskirts of Vierteaux, the sea capital city of Escaria, his early life wasn't one of too much excitement as he focused more on his studies rather than anything else. But that soon proved to work to his benefit as he became one of the youngest to graduate the St. Dupoint University of Advanced & Applied Philosophies in 1859. With a bachelors in chemistry and a masters in engineering, Theodore's chose to become a full-time faculty member the following year. Two years later he met a student that shared his passion for science, and in 1864, they were both married.

Late 1866 however, the winds of fate blew in the opposite direction as the university was locked down and investigated after reports of missing students began to surface. Theodore's wife was among those suspected of the disappearances. Reports say that he entered the building accompanying several members of the Vigilant Order for their latest round of investigation and questioning, only for the building to collapse three hours later from an explosion in the basement that had obliterated the foundations and brought it down.

Excavation teams found Theodore and a few of the members of the Order in an area of the basement where Theodore had been working on as a proof of concept for underground shelters. When questioned on what happened, the weary tutor explained it all. A vampire had infiltrated the faculty and had began preying on students, his wife being one of his latest victims turned thrall. The explosion was triggered in order to not only bury the dark creature, but all it's servants. Unfortunately, the fight with the vampire had left it's marks on his face, leaving it disfigured. The following days the teams found the vampire pinned down under rubble. Theodore was given a moment of joy as he watched the creature burn in the daylight.

He couldn't go back to a normal life, not after all that. So at his request, the Order took him in as one of it's own. Now he travels the continent, using his knowledge and tools to hunt and destroy those who would prey on the innocent.
