Personality: Thaddeus is very laid back and down to earth sort of guy. He’s a man of few words and even his anger is quiet.

History: Lance Carter was a theatre director, a man in the shadows as he tells the actors how to do every movement. He was also good with words and could make up stories that would blow your mind. One day when he was holding auditions for a new play, a beautiful woman came into the room and she said the words with such power that Lance was captivated for her whole audition. The rest of the day seemed dull to Lance because none of the other people had that same intensity as the woman earlier that day. So he packed up his desk with his mind fixed that she would be the one to the play the part and headed toward his favourite café. When he arrived there who did he bump into, but the beautiful woman that was filling his mind! They decided to sit and talk together and he found after a few minutes that he was in love. They spent the night together and that morning she was gone.

Nine months passed, the most dull and colourless months Lance had ever had in his life. Well, until a baby boy appeared at his doorstep with a note that said, “Words have power.” There was no doubt this was from the woman he had fallen in love with months ago. Lance named him Thaddeus.

Thaddeus grew up with a fairly normal life, his father was good to him, he had average grades and wasn’t bullied much at school, in fact most people just ignored him. He was just a shadow, just an average guy you’d pass in the hallway. Until the fateful day … he was fourteen and walking home from school when he heard something in the bushes. It was a sinister growl and without warning a huge black dog burst out baring its teeth. Thaddeus did the only logical thing … he ran! Though it wasn’t long until the dog was right on his heels and it was just about to pounce when Thaddeus quickly turned a corner at the last second. The dog couldn’t turn as quickly so it went right by him and Thaddeus found himself at a dead end, but something glittered in the sun at his feet. He looked down to see a spear with a bronze tip at his feet. Without any other choice he picked it up and turned just in time to see the dog approaching. It hesitated for a moment at the sight of the spear, but then it charged and when it was within a few feet it bounded toward him with its mouth open. Thaddeus saw the opening at thrust his spear right in the middle dissolving the monster into golden dust. A boy about Thaddeus’ age just rounded the corner and his eyes widened at the sight. He quickly guided Thaddeus along saying it wasn’t safe anymore and he needed to get him to a place called Camp Half Blood. So they went straight back to his home and Thaddeus packed his things while the mysterious boy explained everything to Lance. So within a few minutes Thaddeus was leaving. When they finally arrived at Camp Half Blood he was instantly claimed.
