Bio: Born in 1108 to a poor family, the man who would later be called Allen Foster grew up in Somerset. The Priest of the local church was extremely vile. His subjects lived in fear of him. When "Allen" grew old enough to be a man, his Lord sent him off to do battle as a servant. The troops stayed away for 11 years. When he returned, "Allen" was a full grown man and decided to confront this vile being whom no one believed existed in the small community. He confronted him one evening at the back of the church and was terrified to realize the full truth of the matter. The Priest casually threw him into a wall. He then pinned "Allen" and proceeded to drink him dry.
"Allen" awoke later forever changed. He played the part of a servant for two months before a Knight Hospitaler happened to come to the small village while passing to another area. The Knight awoke to find "Allen" next to him in the small Inn that evening. "Please, My Lord, hear my tale," "Allen" said to the Knight. The Knight was intrigued by the actual depths of pleading in the voice. "Allen" told him all that had passed. The Knight told him to gather his things and await him the next evening. "Allen" left the Knight's chambers and began doing what he was told, fearing all the while that he was to be staked the next evening.
The next evening, the Knight confronted and denounced the Priest. He fought the Priest and, thanks to the will of God, defeated him. He then went and gathered up "Allen". The two departed. "How would you like to be my Squire?" the Knight asked "Allen". "Me, My Lord, but I'm nothing more than a blood sucking creature of the night." "You may need blood to survive now, but I doubt that you were thinking of your own welfare when you came to me last eve." "No, My Lord. That beast has haunted my village for many years. I could no longer stand by and watch as my friends and family were subjected to his whims." The Knight took "Allen" to his Order. Several tests were done to and given to "Allen". The Head Priest of the Order smiled as he stated that "Allen" still had a soul. "Allen" became a squire and soon mastered the position. He was taught how to read and write in several languages (including Chinese). He was taught math and medicine and anything else anyone was willing to teach him. He was soon Knighted and continued to aid the cause of the Hospitalers to the very end. He and several of his fellows, kept the teachings alive even after the Knighthood was no more. He continued to learn from the master's of medicine as it grew and changed. He also continued to help teach the heirs of the Hospitalers.
Several years ago, Allen was asked to go to Gatlinburg where many hikers and tourists kept getting lost and injured. Another heir of the Knighthood had recently set up a Search and Rescue unit there. Allen was to go and help teach them what he knew. He had found a particularly bright student to train in medicine that hadn't yet been shared with the World.
Character Description: Allen is about 5'11" He appears to weigh about 155lbs. He has Raven hair and sapphire blue eyes. He has the complexion of one who spends his life out among nature.
