[The Story]
Theo was born to Kroniid Sah Vahlok and Rikke Blackmoon Carius-Vahlok, who were both old and respected military officers of the Empire. Theo’s mother had left him and the rest of the family at a young age, and therefore Theo and his siblings were raised primarily by their father Kroniid and their older brother, Krolit, who was the firstborn and had shown that he was a very powerful mage from a young age. Theo grew up in the Vahlok family clan-house, which was located in northern Cyrodiil, near the Jerrel Mountains. From a young age he practiced swordplay with his family as well as with members of the Vahlok Platoon, which was their father’s personal army. Kroniid eventually became a General in the Imperial Legion, and when Theo came of age he also joined in the legion, being stationed all around Tamriel from Skyrim to Blackmarsh. The Empire was in a time of conflict, with many rebellions and wars being fought.

Eventually, Theo was promoted to Captain and officially joined the officer ranks of the Empire. He proved himself to be a good commander and officer, and became General within a short while. At this time, his sister Peyt also became a General, and the entirety of the Empire’s High Command was made up of Vahloks for a short while.

Disaster struck the family when the Sentinels, an ancient order of master swordsmen that were in service to the Empire, betrayed the Emperor. Their commander, who had been recently promoted to General, ordered the execution of thousands of citizens and legionnaires alike. The commander, who went simply by “Puger”, framed Kroniid, and Kroniid was thrown from the legion and into the streets. At this time, instead of looking at Kroniid’s kin with distrust, the Emperor instead appointed Theo to serve as the High General of the Empire. Kroniid, however, never was the same, and the Vahlok family fell apart soon afterwards. The family clan-house was burned, several of the family members died or were killed, and the family holdings in the Sea of Ghosts, the Vahlok Isles, were the site of Krolit’s ascension into a higher magical being.

Theo eventually was crowned a member of the Elder Council, and has served on the Council ever since, taking up the job of Councilor of Foreign Affairs. He met Valyrio Vitad, a member of a Cyrodilic noble house, and married her. Together, they had a single son, Argus, who later also served in the Empire as an officer. Valyrio later died of an unknown illness, and was buried at Theo’s personal estate near the ruins of the Vahlok clan-house in the Jerrel Mountains.

Theo’s mother Rikke eventually returned many, many years later, but she had changed. Although Theo could hardly remember her, she looked extraordinarily young for her age, and was still in physical shape and rejoined the Imperial Legion as an officer. She gained a reputation of being extremely strict with the soldiers, someone they dreaded. She also opened a secret division, the Shadow Legion, which served as spies to Theo. They were eventually shut down by the Emperor when he returned after being missing for some time on All Saint’s Day. Theo’s mother soon disappeared after that, and hasn’t been seen since.

Theo currently lives in Castle Vahlok, a large fortress high in the Jerrel Mountains, alone. He owns a second home on Solstheim granted by his Uncle, Suillus Carius. He owns several silver mines throughout Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and High Rock, holding a virtual monopoly on silver, which is where his wealth comes from. He still serves as Councilor of Foreign Affairs for the Empire, and is one of the longest-serving members of the Imperial Legion, as all Councilors are considered members of the military.
