Theodore Truffle was born in the wild lands, beyond the bounds of what most consider civilization. He was raised by his parents. His family would leave the wilds on the rare occasion to barter in towns for the odd items. It was during one of these trade sessions that Theodore first saw the Knights of Taldor as they held an exhibition showcasing their swordsmanship. After watching the expedition, Theodore desired to learn such skill with a blade.
When Theodore came of age he left his parents and entered into service as squire to the Knights, where he served and trained. During a routine patrol he was knocked unconscious during a fight with bandits, which proved the end of his knighthood dreams. When Theodore finally came to a few days later his wits were addled and he found it near impossible to learn the myriad of lessons required to become a knight. In the end he was released from his vows of service, with only his training with a sword and a few odd facts concerning local nobles firmly rooted in his mind.
Theodore now makes a living as farmer's hand in the town of Heldren. Though the town is peaceful he has offered his skills to the town's militia in the event an disturbance ever does occur. Disspite his slow wits, he is generally liked and often entertains travelers with stories of youth and short lived time as a squire.
