Thiess of Gabras (pronounced THEE-ess of gab-RAHS) is a werewolf and champion of Sarenrae. He is the founder and leader of the Order of the Sun and Moon, a group of werecreatures devoted to the Everlight.
Originally hailing from the city of Gabras within Forloroth & Valadhel, back when the United Provinces were still part of Viridia, Thiess became afflicted with lycanthropy at a young age. Despite his best attempts to control his curse, one full moon he lost control and ran amok through the city, leaving a path of death in his wake. On the run from the law with a bounty on his head, and distraught from the pain he had caused, Thiess turned to Sarenrae seeking redemption.
Thiess disappeared for a number of years, eventually reemerging calling himself the "Hound of Sarenrae". Recruiting other werecreatures from across Thadria and the eastern coast of the Chaska Sea, Thiess formed his new group of highly capable misfits into the Order of Sun and Moon, dedicated to bringing themselves and other werecreatures to absolution.
Though the Order primarily seeks to stop werecreatures from posing a threat to non-lycanthropes, Thiess has also taken his devotion to Sarenrae in another, more extreme direction. For the last two hundred years, Thiess has regularly ventured into the layers of Hell to directly combat the archdevils and their minions and disrupt the evil order of their realms. In doing so, Thiess seeks to release souls from captivity in Hell, so that they may go on to redeem themselves.
The extremely direct means of Thiess have not gone unquestioned by the church of Sarenrae. Some clergy and other Sarenite champions have accused Thiess of possessing and carrying out borderline heretical beliefs and actions, especially emphasizing his aggressiveness and willingness to turn to violence as a first resort. Nevertheless, Thiess remains one of the very few mortals alive to have directly talked to the goddess Sarenrae, and seemingly remains in good standing with her.
When not transformed into a werewolf, Thiess appears as a rather unassuming aged elven man, with long graying hair and kind eyes set in an otherwise stony and impassive face. Unlike most other champions of Sarenrae, Thiess does not wield a scimitar or decorate his clothing with sun motifs. As a werewolf, Thiess has silvery, almost white fur.
