His mother was young when her father sold her to a man, who gladly used her for every sick sexual fantasy he had. He kept paying and stayed with the woman until the child reached an age of eight months, when he went back to Rhoynar and never spoke to her ever again, nor did he pay her father for the final weeks spent with her.
By now, Theo has a good relationship with his aunts. His mother, however, is a strange one and he tends to judge her actions too quickly, making their relationship hard to keep up. Yet, he’ll fight for her if needed and still loves her dearly. Theo has an immense hatred for his grandfather, so tends to stay as far away from the man as possible.
Theo lived a rough childhood. His mom had to work hard to repay the lost money from his father and ended up having very little time to care for her young son, who grew distant and learned to take care of himself more than relying on his useless mother. He gained interest in tattoos and had his first one when he turned fifteen. More followed and he managed to secure a job as a tattoo artist in Rhoynar at age eighteen. He moved there without a second thought, but still tries to visit Falkreath multiple times a year to check up on his aunts and mother.
One day, I'll write a proper history. For now this will have to do.
