Malphorius is not aging gracefully. As such he grows more tired and impatient with each day. He still enjoys the simple pleasures in life as he did in his youth, but hates things that move to fast or make loud noises. He is a giant grouch. He has stopped trying to make friends with other people because everyone finds him as unpleasant as he finds them.History:
Malphorius is the son of a blacksmith and a tailor. His father always wanted him to become a blacksmith, making swords and shields for the army. He always found the business to be boring. He would much prefer to be healing wounds than creating tools that cause them. His father did not like that idea. This disagreement that sparked up early on in his life effectively severed any kind feelings that the two had for each other. Eventually, Malphorius started studying to be a physician just to spite his father.Additional Information:
He spent all of his teenage years as far away from his father as possible by studying in another city. Soon after he graduated, Malphorius began tending to the cuts and bruises of knights on hunting trips and other small jobs of the like. It wasn't until much later in life, his early forties, that Malphorius was sent out into battle, taking care of real wounds, amputating limbs and treating concussions.
This was the life Malphorius had always dreamed of, but when he finally got his wish, he rejected it. The things he saw in battle disgusted him and he spent months with nightmares every time he closed his eyes.
He eventually retired, much to his delight and started up a practice back home where he kept the knowledge he'd learned in battle, but preferred not think about it.
Malphorius has never loved a woman and at his point in life, never really expects to. This is something that he believes he's come to terms with, but still regrets about his life.
Speaks with a stutter.
Knows how to defend himself with a scalpel.
