Tereth's father was a cruel and wicked man by anyone’s standards, but perhaps not any worse than thousands or millions of others. His early years were spent as a soldier in a free company, romping around and cheating on Tereth's mother for years. The reality was that he could barely even be called a soldier because was little better than a brigand who robbed, raped, pillaged, and murdered.

That wickedness never changed, it only evolved shortly after Tereth was born. His father’s ankle was broken in a battle and never fully healed. This brought his career to an abrupt close and he took to a bottle to bury his hatred. The problem was that rather than bury the hatred, it brought it boiling to the surface. He began abusing everyone at home. Tereth learned early that you either learn to fight back or the world rolls over you like an ox on the threshing floor.

One night, his father had been particularly deep in the bottle and at the end of it all his mother was within an inch of her life. The next morning she took Tereth and the two of them were gone into the wilds. They left his father behind. Not that this turned out well. In short order, the two of them ran upon a new issue as they were attacked by goblins. Within moments, a man descended upon the pair with a flashing sword. He slew the goblins, but not before they had killed Tereth's mother. The man was the first Monster Slayer that Tereth ever met.

With few other choices, Tereth was taken back to Elbion where he was placed in the Monster Hunter academy. He grew in ability and eventually began taking to the road to hunt monsters for himself.

Tereth is a gruff man who is quite serious about his work. He does most things for gold and tries to make it by from day to day. That isn't to say that he's not without a heart, and given his own history, he has a particular affinity for helping children and occasionally the helpless. That's not to say that he is entirely altruistic. He is truly mercenary at heart.

Tereth is a skilled combatant and hunter. His primary profession is to take contracts on monsters, and he has the accompanying skills to do this effectively. He is knowledgable about monsters, fighting them, and even combating other humans if necessary. He has basic skills in magic, but little more than casting simple spells. He carries a variety of gear on him in order to accomplish his missions, but everything he owns can be carried with him on his horse.

Tereth has several tattoos used in runic magic that amplify his physical attributes in order to combat creatures of larger size and shape.
