Jeremy Dashwood

Jeremy Dashwood, born on the 47th day of Summer, 1012, of the 4th Age, in his parents' home. Growing up in the ghettos of Valyntir City, Dashwood used his incredibly rare ability to use magic to steal and punish the wealthy for his own gain. As Magic is illegal in the Valyntir Empire, he lived as a fugitive from the law until he was captured by the Templar Nolis Derador while attempting to assassinate a Vicar named Peter Caliphad who had learned of magical ability. Dashwood now dwells within St. Godrics Basilica, awaiting execution.

Early Life
Unwanted by his biological parents, likely due to financial instability, he spent the early part of his childhood in the care of Margaret and Thomas Dashwood. Thomas Dashwood reluctantly agreed to foster the child at the request of his wife Margaret, whom had thus far been unable to bear any children and had prayed to The Graces to deliver a child to them. Thomas, however, saw that Jeremy's eyes were the hue of gold, the genetic trait of Humans born with the inherent ability to use magic (often called Mages). Roughly 1% of humans in the Empire of Valyntir are born Mages, largely due to the powerful influence of the Church of Hope. The Church of Hope had methodically exterminated Mages from the Valyntir Empire since the beginning of the 4th age, after Saint Godric I, then Vicar Superior (leader) of the Church of Hope, decreed that, "Witchcraft is the wicked tool of demons used to corrupt our good world... Their souls must be sent to God, or languish here in Ori to defile all that is good".
