At 38 years of age, Wallace Treat was born in 73 ADT, (16 S) to a poor farmer family with 5 other children. His days were spent in labor of the fields and livestock, toiling from the time the sun had peeked over the horizon to when it sank back down for the night. Never one to complain, Wallace grew into a tall, strong lad with a firm set to his jaw and a no-nonsense attitude. Humor was pretty much wasted on this quiet fellow, but his loyalty knew no bounds.

Caring, but overwhelmed and weary, Wallace's parents listened to their son's well thought-out plans for his future. He wished to become a soldier with the Uen Roug forces and though he was sorely under educated, he had a flair for learning and studying and his parents saw for their child a better future then the one that they could provide... especially with 5 other children that seemed to lack the same motivation as their brother.

So it was that at 16 years of age, Wallace felt confident that his family could make due without him and set off for Pallahade where he then joined the Uen Roug Academy. He never expected to bond, instead he studied hard and attacked his classes with relentless intensity, resisting any other urges (such as having fun and making friends) and spent all of his free time honing his skills.

When he turned 21 years old, Wallace eagerly looked forward to his graduation so that he could join the ranks of the Roug forces as a combat soldier. The Light changed his plans to some extent, when he Bonded most unexpectedly to the stallion known as General. He graduated in the year 94 ADT, with the Trelayn Class.

Wallace is six feet tall with a solid build and an unrelenting aura about him. He has black, short cropped hair that is starting to turn silver at the temples, with light brown eyes and sun-baked skin. Straight-backed and firm, he is not unkind, but rather fair and aloof. General is his only weakness... er, soft-spot.

General

 General  is a powerfully built stallion, well muscled from constant exercise to keep himself as powerful and strong as possible. His regular exercising has given General a good deal of natural stamina and strength. Extremely proficient in battles, when practicing fighting, General almost always wins using to full advantage his size, strength and skill. In a fight, General can be callous and thoughtless towards his friends, and completely cold blooded against his enemies.  And not many like to be caught in this humorless stallion's brooding, piercing stare. There is a popular myth at the Academy, that if you shoved a lump of coal up this stick-in-the-mud's.... *ahem*.... a week later you'll get a diamond.

  He is a driven, cold and withdrawn stallion at the best of times. But he easily has a soft spot for his mate, Puppet. With her, he allows a gentler side to be seen. With her he can tell her his dreams, ideas, and beliefs. And despite his frosty manner, General is with out a doubt, extremely proud of his sons Player and Shadow. Though he wishes that Shadow was more interested in horn play. He doesn't understand his youngest colt and is a bit awkward when dealing with Shadow. But it's obvious he considers Player to be a chip off the old block and finds little fault with the elder twin. Like his mate though, General too was affected deeply by the loss of their first foal. Though unlike Puppet, he doesn't want to acknowledge that she ever 'lived'. Avoiding that topic stubbornly as he buries the pain of that loss. And with effort, General and Puppet have kept Player and Shadow from learning they had an older sister. Thinking it better that they not know.

Mated to Puppet, sire of Player and Shadow, and a stillborn foal.

General's talent is the ability to change his own shadow into a living "monster" that will attack at his bidding.
