Powers/Abilities

His eyes are a bright blue with a darker blue pupil, being quite different from the usual cat eye look of Witchers. This comes from the odd mutations usually used in the Cat School.

Background/Story

He was born in the Blue Mountains where many elves find their origins, nestled between the peaks of mighty northern goliaths. Unlike other Witchers, he was an orphan boy saved from the cold embrace of winter's wrath by a passing Witcher. Touros was raised and trained quite close to his original home so he didn't find his life too intolerable. Although his mutations were painful and death surrounded him, he was proud to become something so noble, in his eyes. He grew to be a fine warrior and was one of the few Witchers from the Cat School to associate with the Wolves at the time, making good friends along their borders.

During a simple contract, he was accompanying one of his close wolf brothers, named Klaus, and fell upon an ancient caged magical force. It was so great, they could do nothing but get pushed further back into the mountains. Eventually they ended up trapped in an elven burial ground while it lurked outside its cavern walls. They waited there for weeks, slowly starving and unable to escape. They were knocking on death's door when Klaus made the ultimate decision to sacrifice himself so that Touros could have the chance to live. Touros had no idea and wasn't even aware that he had fallen into a deathlike slumber. Klaus was alive just long enough to place his friend's body on the ceremonial tomb marker and fold his hands over his chest. He stumbled over to the northern wall and collapsed, all flesh and energy dissipating in the extreme spell that his body could not support.

Over the next 581 years, Touros lay sleeping in snow peaked dreams, lost away where all who had known him had long since passed. Eventually he was discovered by a wizard named Hasan who promptly told his Witcher friend, Eskel, of his odd discovery. The Wolf School member came to investigate to find a fallen brother on the floor with an open books of fantastical spells and a Cat School member, seemingly alive but not quite there, laying in a ceremonial way with his medallion clasped between his fingers. Eskel decided to inquire about this with the oldest known Witcher to currently be alive, Illes of Isenglace, who was almost 800 years old. Illes came but didn't expect to find a familiar face among the elven ruins. The sleeping Witcher was named Touros and he had known him back in his youth, had worked with him on multiple occassions and knew him to a small extent. Because of this quiet sentimentality, Illes promised to find a way to wake the piece of the past that lay before him.

After careful study of the spell that was used, Illes' friend and former lover, Millicent of Raeschven, got help from Geralt's wife and tried to reverse the cantation. After a great energy drain, Touros opened his eyes to the dawn of a new life.

Stats

Personality

Hardly ever speaks but his eyes alone can put anyone on edge. Although constantly mistaken for being a woman and on the thinner side, he has the air of a brute. Something about his demeanor gives away the flare of some of the things he's done. Other than that, he is not easily trodden on but has a kind heart. There's a bit of melancholly in his heart and it shows.
