History
Childhood
Thomas Baden was born to Prince Frederick Staunton and Amina Kharadeen in Aleksandria, Courland, on the 8th of the First Seed, 1596. His father served as an advisor to his twin-brother, King Tobias I of Courland and was granted the County of Trier in the year 1601, when Thomas was five. Thomas, along with the rest of his family, moved to the new family castle in Trier, where he would spend the rest of his childhood, mostly being tutored in the arts of war and law.
Count of Trier
Thomas had nominally been in charge of the County of Trier since he was 13, as his father had left to take the position of Arch-Chancellor for his nephew, King Joseph I of Courland in 1609. Throughout this time, Thomas continued to primarily be absorbed in his studies while spending time with his younger siblings.
In 1615, the Kingdom of Courland was dissolved and replaced with the Principality of Evreux, a vassal of the Holy Orenian Empire, which had reformed a year earlier. This, however, led to the Santegian Rebellion in 1617, when Abdes de Savin sacked Aleksandria and executed Frederick, leading Thomas to formally become Count of Trier. Two years later, the Siege of Trier would take place. It was the first battle of Thomas’ life, and saw the loss of his home and his liege, Emperor John V.
Life in Oren
Following the loss of Trier in 1619, Thomas and the rest of his family moved to Mardon, except for his twin-sister Arianna, who was married to the Count Jacques of Aven. Thomas quickly managed to befriend Emperor Peter II and Prince Philip, Duke of Corazon, soon having arranged a marriage between the latter and his youngest sister, Philippa.
Thomas was also granted the position of High Magistrate in 1620. During his tenure as High Magistrate he worked hard to implement reforms to the legal system, appoint magistrates and update the Imperial Law. He was greatly distraught by the death of his brother-in-law Prince Philip at the hands of House Romstun in 1623, and by the death of his sister Arianna in 1624. After finishing his update to the Imperial Law, he resigned his position as High Magistrate and departed Axios for Aeldin.
Later Life
Thomas spent the rest of his life primarily residing in Pronce, Aeldin. He visited Atlas on two known occasions, once to witness the coronation of Alfred I of Curon in 1651, and another time to meet with Charles Elliot Horen, who helped Thomas arrange his marriage to Sophie of Fenbel on the condition that all their children would be sent to Atlas to join the Empire of Man. His marriage to Sophie saw him have one child, Frederick Alexander, who was sent to Atlas as promised. Thomas eventually passed away in 1705 at the age of 109.
Appearance
Thomas had dark blue eyes, black hair and olive skin. He was commonly found to be wearing clothes in the traditional Baden colours, or the Baden armour that he inherited from his father.
Mentality
Thomas was a calm and solemn figure who spent most of his time with law books, however he was often shown to lighten up when spending time with his family. He usually avoided alcohol, preferring simply to drink water.
Family
Due to his father’s absence at a young age, Thomas grew to hate the man. However, this also resulted in Thomas taking the position as the man of the family. He was very protective of his sisters, particularly his youngest sister Philippa, with whom he had the closest bond. It is said that it was the deaths of Arianna and brother-in-law Philip, combined with the disappearance of Philippa and Astrid, that led him to leave the continent of Axios.
Thomas only had one son, Frederick Alexander, who he sent to join the Empire of Man at the age of four. He commonly wrote letters to his son to make sure that he was settling alright.
