Name: Therin Shahrizai
Age: 19
Race (Lineage Origin): D'Angeline (Kusheline)
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Home Province/Country: Kusheth
Appearance: Therin is all that one would expect from a Shahrizai in the physical. He has their hair, their eyes, and their usual deadly angelic features. He is tall and at only 19 still may gain a few more inches. He is built strong, but is lean. He looks very solid, though, years of physical training show.
History and Personality: Therin was born to Noctis and Lucretia Shahrizai. Lucretia is the brother of Gilian Shahrizai, making Therin Gadleon's cousin. Though his parents shared the same last name, they were distant cousins and the marriage was accepted with open arms by their families.
Therin was one with whom life always came easy. His mother brought a substantial dowry and his father was the first born of his family. Therin was the first born and the servants were told to make sure things went smoothly for him. He has also been able to master most of the things that he was expected to learn. His best skill was with the sword. He started training at the age of 8 and by 11 he was able to parry and get around many grown men. Sword fighting gave him a challenge. Because of this Therin took his lessons seriously and never held back at any of his practices.
He is, however, bored with the rest of life. Because he is the first born he is not allowed to pursue swordsmen ship as a profession. He has no other brothers to take over the family estate. In response he has become a bit of a trouble maker. He doesn't want to be completely dishonored by his family, so he carefully walks a fine line of "acceptable" trouble.
Since his father is still quite young and able there is not a lot for Therin to do short of learning. His father likes to be in control and does not feel he should give any of that up to Therin. So until there is more work to be done he will entertain himself in any way he see's fit. He is a bit arrogant and looks down on those outside of his family a little (though he still shows them some sort of respect).
When he was 13 Therin did have feelings for another boy his age who was not of the clan. The boy was pale with platinum hair and had a warm smile. The two boys were good friends. They had a on and off again love affair that lasted for quite a few years, until the plague hit. Then Lucis died and Therin took it very hard. Some suspect that it is the reason that Therin tends to avoid those who are not Shahrizai and the reason why he rarely beds anyone male. He has no problem, however, bedding plenty of women.
