An orphan who grew up alongside his best friend, Ealdian, in their village's orphanage, until an older woman who knew Torsten's mother when she was alive took both him and Ealdian in. He learns that his mother was a prostitute who died only a couple years after he was born. What he doesn't learn, however, is that his father was in love with his mother, despite him being a nobleman and she being a prostitute, and he came back for her a few years later to find her dead. But no one knew he was Torsten's father, so no one told him about his son. After Torsten and Ealdian live with the grandmotherly woman for several years, Ealdian leaves to study magic, history, and magical history, while Torsten stays behind and studies swordsmanship. Years later, as an adult, Torsten hasn't seen Ealdian in years, and has been working as a mercenary, taking any job he can get because he feels like he can't do anything else, despite being good at cooking and taking care of stray animals in his spare time. He does whatever it takes to make money to send home to Grandma, and to save up in case Ealdian ever comes back and needs some.
GOAL & MOTIVE
Torsten Ward works as a mercenary to support Grandma and save money in case Ealdian returns and needs help. Torsten Ward also seeks purpose through swordsmanship and hopes to reconnect with Ealdian. He doesn't realize it, but he would rather be a baker or a cook of some sort, but he doesn't believe he's good enough to do anything of the sort so he never considered it a real goal. Deep, deep down, he was in love with Ealdian; but it's deep enough he never realized his feelings. He still doesn't.
