Description
Theodore Sherman, hailing from the small town of Rouge Hill, was conscripted into the Northern Union's military during the Patrian civil war. Qualified for service, he underwent transformation into an Incarnate soldier, specifically taking the form of a Minotaur. Deeply cowardly, Theodore feared battle, the transformation process, and the potential loss of his humanity and life inherent to the Incarnate condition, hindering his early effectiveness as a soldier.
Serving under Captain Hank Henriette in an Incarnate Soldier Unit, Theodore was profoundly impacted by Hank's survival philosophy: "only those who are prepared at all times can survive." To manage his terror in combat, Theodore channeled his skills into constructing intricate fortresses. These structures served as both defensive positions and psychological coping mechanisms, enabling him to function.
After the war, Theodore returned to Rouge Hill, but combat trauma persisted. An incident involving a child pointing a toy gun triggered severe paranoia, leading Theodore to kill the child. Convinced enemies lurked everywhere—disguised as civilians or surveilling him through animals—he embarked on constructing an enormous, labyrinthine fortress in the town center. Utilizing his Incarnate strength and engineering expertise, he fortified it with complex traps including crossbows, axes, and cannons. He publicly declared readiness for battle, causing widespread panic. Townspeople attempting to enter never emerged alive.
This fortress directly referenced the mythical Minotaur's Labyrinth, symbolizing Theodore's entrapment within his fear. His Minotaur form was tall and muscular, featuring large horns, armored plating, and a bestial visage; in human form, he appeared as a medium-height man with short blonde hair.
Captain Hank Henriette, tracking rogue Incarnates, arrived in Rouge Hill with Schaal Bancroft. Informed of Theodore's actions by the spy Liza Renecastle, Hank confronted him within the fortress. Theodore activated traps and attacked, expressing his belief in ubiquitous enemies and his failure to overcome fear despite continuous fortress-building. Hank exploited Theodore's predictable reliance on preparation during the battle, ultimately subduing him. In his final moments, Theodore expressed relief and a sense of redemption, stating he no longer needed the fortress and yearning for his pre-war self. Hank fulfilled their wartime oath by killing Theodore, ending his torment.
