Background
---------------------
Thaddeus grew up in a small, isolated farming village, far away from any major trade routes or population centers. Aside from the rare visit by merchants, soldiers on patrol, or the occasional minstrel, little disturbed the village.

Thaddeus was both blessed and cursed with an inquisitive and clever mind. Cursed, for there was little to stimulate his intelligence in the village. One can only learn about proper grain planting techniques or watch the same ants crawl over the same old log so many times before one desires to expand their knowledge.

Thaddeus had heard tales of wizards, those who studied ancient tomes of knowledge and learned how to shape reality to their whim. But there seemed little hope for Thaddeus to ever become a wizard, as his parents could never afford to have him learn under a hedge wizard, let alone attend a prestigious academy. He made several trips to a nearby wise woman, though all he learned was some basic magical theory, that she didn't like people (let alone annoying children), and that her magic was innate, not something she could teach him. And so, he continued to help his family in the fields, wondering if his fate was to waste his intellect toiling until he dies.

Still, the bits of magical theory he learned from her gave him a little knowledge. And a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, as the saying goes. Thaddeus, in desperation, began attempting to summon somebody (or something) to teach him. He had no idea if the runes he sketched on the ground in a rough circle, or the nonsense he babbled, actually meant anything, and so he was quite surprised when his pitifully amateur attempts to contact something succeeded.

Thaddeus does not know specifically what happened. All he could recall was feeling incredibly small, nearly suffocating in the presence of an overwhelming entity. He woke up in the hayloft, drenched in sweat, wondering if it had simply been a delusional dream, until he walked out of the barn, and one of his family's goats began talking to him.

He learned that the goat was now his familiar, his conduit with the entity he had contacted in the hayloft, and would teach him the magic and knowledge he so craved. Half-frightened, half-intrigued, Thaddeus continued his daily life at the farm, speaking to his familiar (Which he named Old Horn) when he could seize the opportunity. While he learned much about magic (both applied and theoretical) as well as several languages, he never could get an answer of who or what, exactly, his otherworldly patron was, or what it wanted.

Eventually, Thaddeus decided it was time to leave. While he was learning much from Old Horn, he needed to know more, both to slake his general thirst for knowledge, and to figure out the source of his power. And so, one night he gathered his meager belongings, and left his village.

---------------------
Description & Personality
---------------------
Thaddeus stands about 6'1, with short, messy, dark hair. His face is young, but tanned and weatherbeaten, as is the rest of him. He wears dusty, worn traveller's clothes and a wide-brimmed leather hat. He generally looks at things with an odd mix of curiosity and detatchment. Following closeby is a silver-furred goat. To all the world, he looks like a peasant on an extended journey.

Thaddeus is an unusual sort, mixing a simple peasant upbringing with a curious, intelligent nature. Having learned his lesson on what can result from an unrestrained pursuit of knowledge, his curiosity is tempered with a simple, down-to-earth acceptance and common sense.
