Full Name: Jean Philippe de Troyes Date of Birth: circa 1177 Place of Birth: Troyes, County of Champagne, Kingdom of France Background Illegitimate son of the Count of Champagne (recognized, but without inheritance rights). Received a good education at the monastery school of Saint-Loup. Was supposed to become a priest, but became fascinated with "science" and was expelled for heretical thoughts. Knightly Status: Knight (thanks to his father, who knighted him before death). But a strange knight — reads more than fights. Armor: · Expensive hauberk, French workmanship (gift from his father) — approx. 12 kg · Plate armor (breastplate, pauldrons) over mail — another +6 kg · Great helm with decorations (Latin quotations engraved on it) — +3 kg · Small triangular shield (for tournaments, but Jean uses it in battle) — +2 kg · Total weight: approx. 23 kg · Note: Feels uncomfortable in armor but doesn't remove it because "armor protects not only the body but also the mind from worldly vanity." Actually, just too lazy to fuss with straps. Occasionally, ink stains are visible on the armor (he wiped his quill on the pauldron). Appearance: Thin, pale, stooped. Greasy dark hair sticks out from under his helm. Eyes burn with mad fervor when he starts reasoning. Fingers stained with ink. Armor is expensive but hangs like a sack — not fitted to his frame. Character · Considers himself a scholar and philosopher. Loves constructing theories about everything. · Absolutely incapable of admitting he might be wrong. · Any new fact gets incorporated into his worldview, even if it requires incredible assumptions. · In battle, tries to analyze the opponent's movements and comment on them aloud. · Doesn't remove armor because "a scholar must be ready for attacks from the dark forces of ignorance." Skills and Abilities · Literacy: Reads Latin, Greek, and a little Arabic (learned from a captured Saracen). · "Science": A mixture of theology, ancient philosophy, and his own fantasies. · Observation: Notices details, but draws absurd conclusions. · Combat: Technically not bad (taught in childhood), but in real battle gets lost due to attempts to "analyze" the situation. Combat Experience · In the Fourth Crusade, was in the retinue of the Bishop of Soissons, but quickly bored everyone with his reasoning. Participated in a few skirmishes, but hindered more than helped. Miraculously survived the Sack of Constantinople because he got absorbed in some Greek manuscript and didn't notice the battle end. · Considers himself a great warrior-philosopher, though in reality just a lucky fool. Relations with Others · With Raymond: Considers him a manifestation of "humanity's base nature," an object for study. · With Guillaume: Calls him "Homo Amoris" (Man of Love) and tries to cure him of love with herbs (unsuccessfully). · With Thierry: Respects him as "the only one capable of containing the greatness of my thoughts." Thierry just shuts him up when he starts droning on.
