I am stuck on this one troublesome character. I can not figure out if he should be that warrior that has seen a thousand battles type or the kind type. The character is a vampire/night faerie with a harsh past regardless.
Heres an idea of how each version of this character (Talyis) acts based off the version of him we are dealing with.
Warrior type (semi dark personality)- Quick to hostility and reaction. Wounded from centuries of human betrayal on his species. Quiet, aggressive, distrustful. Likely to behave in a sadistic or extremely bloody manner toward enemies. Drinks any adult human's blood.(goal here is a redemption arch)
Kind type (lighter)- Shows more of a cute side. Still distrustful of humans. Shows much more his protection of his kind and less his hostility toward humans. Wise from living centuries. Very forgiving sometimes too forgiving. Uses violence as a last resort and isnt violent or sadistic when he is violent. Feeds on blood but has an oath against drinking the blood of humans that are pure of intentions. (Goal here is for him to help others along their own redemption archs)
In all versions he is protective of his wife and people and in both he has been around a few hundred years. In both versions he helped cause the fae/human wars. Queen Eliza about 200 years ago provoked the fae by calling them unwelcomed unnatural perversions on the natural world (history below) she formed the Jaegars a guild of fae and magic beast hunters. The fae had been largely human peaceful for several centuries. Being fairly young and foolish a 500 year old (19 to human age) Talyis went to meet with her and told her she was welcome to kill the faeries banished from their homeland as those were human violent but warned if she hunted the elf kind (human fae mixes) or hunted in the faerie realms he would kill her and any aligned with her. Well guess what she pushed it and in the process murdered a number of Talyis childhood friends and allies. She also substantially reduced the number of the already very rare night faeries. Tslyis confronted her along with the dragon king and said that her mass slaughter of fae was an act of war. She said she would like nothing better and Talyis decided to strike first and snapped her neck. Over the next few decades there was a power struggle and eventually her son Roan the first clawed his way to the top. Roan not only continued the war but he actively openly funded and supported the hunting of faeries and even legalized selling faerie body parts (mages use them to cast magic) he trained his own family to be among the very best faerie and monster hunters in the lands and often lead hunts for fae. One night he chased down a dark fae and didn't realise it was Talyis. They fought, Talyis won and was made out to be a monster naturally for killing the human king and prior queen. He was ordered by the faerie king (oldest prince) to stand down. Eventually at the behest of his wife he went to meet with Roan the former kings son and formed a leery alliance with him. During his disputes with Roans father Talyis placed one of his elites as the personal guard/trainer of the young prince. Talyis eventually showed the now king how involved he had gotten in the kings life.
