As a kid, Travers lived in a very troubled home. His mother was
a whore and had left him with his father (her best client), when she found out. His father was a drunkard and often found
excuses to hit his boy.
Once Travers reached the age of seven, he snuck into bars to watch
the brawls that commonly broke out. With practice, he taught himself how to fight and defend himself. Two years later, he
killed his father in self-defense. Leaving home, he made his way by killing homeless people and prostitutes, then taking whatever
valuables they had to sell, and coin they had to give.
Starting at the age of eighteen, he became a mercenary, a killer
for hire. When he was almost twenty, he fell in love, and married a young woman, who bore him his son. Less than
four months after their marriage, he walked in on the bodies of his family, who were killed because an employer became angry
with him. For a long time he focused solely on his job, though his mind was situated on revenge. He worked
only for the highest bidder. When confronting a target, he'd causually ask if they have a higher, counter-offer. He's
a calm man, rarely letting his emotions show, and is efficient with his work. He has piercing blue eyes, and long blonde hair
that falls to the middle of his back. He usually ties it back to keep it out of the way, and it's occasionally dyed red. Originally,
the dye was to hide dyed blood. Now it's used simply for a new look.
Travers killed the last man of the group who killed his family.
This being done, he found no more reason to live, and as about to commit suicide. Katerina Darsheil, a young assassin whom
Travers had found feelings for, stopped him from doing the deed. They did the cute act of professing their love for each other,
and though Travers has had a dark past, he's come to terms with it, and has no longer planned to end his life. In fact, he
recently proposed to Katerina, and she accepted happily.

This is Travers.
Just picture the armor he's wearing as black clothing, and that's the guy. I'd like to thank and credit B. Haines, of
Elfwood, for drawing this picture. Thank you for letting me use it.
