History
Childhood to Early Adulthood
Jonathan Black's father, William Black, was an innkeeper in the city of Arethor. When his mother wasn't busy helping to keep the inn running, she also ran a clothing store quite close to the inn. Jonathan's parents were both good at what they did, and were successful enough to send him to school, giving him an educational level a cut above the rest. His father also provided an entirely different, yet extremely necessary, framework for him: Morality. Jonathan's father clearly taught him the difference between right and wrong. He was taught to not steal, lie, or kill, unless one must, and to defend and help those who could not help themselves, amongst other things. He wasn't taught, however, not to hate orcs; in fact, he was taught quite the opposite. This somewhat irrational dislike has remained with him today, but he has a great respect for his brothers in the Order who have denounced their heritage.
Jonathan's childhood was mostly uneventful; he did well in his studies, proving to be an intelligent student. He also showed a strong desire to learn the art of the sword and bow. The fact that Jonathan was ambidextrious helped him greatly in doing this. By the time he was an adult, Jonathan was surprisingly skilled in battle. He joined the Guard of Arethor for a brief time, but quit due to the fact that he found it boring, not to mention that he wished to do good outside of the city. He is now twenty-three years of age. Originally, he sought to join the Order of Clerics, or the White Roses, but on a whim he found himself joining the Teutonic Order.
Life in the Order
When Jonathan Black first joined the Teutonic Order, he was a mere plebeian. He was mostly innocent to the Teutonic Order’s cruel actions. He mostly stayed in the land of Hanseti, mining and farming whenever he was not accompanying his brothers on a mission. During his first Elven Week in the Teutonic Order, he proved to be a man who was good at following orders and listening to his superiors; consequently, he was promoted to the rank of Sariant.
After becoming a Sariant, he began to become more exposed to the Teutonic Orders’ actions and was forced to make a decision: Continue down the road, or turn back. In the end, he chose to remain loyal to the Order and to Godfrey, as in his mind it was all for the greater good. Since then, he has fallen farther and farther down the slope of morality, becoming more and more extreme in his thoughts and actions. He participated in the hunts for wanted men, and tasted war for the first time.
Jonathan has served the Teutonic Order for nearly five years now. It has almost completely changed him as a person, for better or worse. It has taught him true discipline, has strengthened his body, and has given him a purpose. He is currently one of the Order's most loyal and effective members, in his mind. There is no sign of him stopping any time soon; in his mind, the only thing which will stop him is death itself.
