Skills: Isaac's only skill before becoming immortal was his ability to read, uncommon in that era, and ride a horse very well, but once he learned of his immortality, he decided to gain multiple talents and abilities. He learned to wield a sword in 1543, and kept up practice with it, so as not to lose skill. He also learned how to cook gourmet meals in 1949, and keeps up practice with it. He learned how to use artillery in the mid-1800s, but gave up on using the skill not long afterwards. learned how to be a blacksmith in 1523 and hasn't used the skill in a VERY long time. Learned about many healing herbs in the mid 16th century, hasn't used it much since then. He can also speak Prussian, German, Polish, English, French, and some Native American Languages, most of them he cannot call upon quickly, but some are like second nature to him. He also got a degree in medicine in 1998.
Weapon(s): He carries an 8'' (20 cm) carving knife with him everywhere, you never know when you'll need it, but his weapon of choice is a 2' 7'' (78.74 cm) Walloon Sword, the handle is gilded with a few rubies in it, and the blade is steel, with the words "To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life."
History: Isaac was born the son of a baker, his father was never poor, thanks to the hungry traders that went through the town of Corebrook. Isaac was destined to become a baker as well, but sadly, he was more clever than that. He learned to read and write at the monastery, and thought of becoming a monk, until he fell for a girl. He had seen the girl, named Nathalie(he grandfather was French), and even played with her a bit, but when he became a bit older, he fell in love with her. After a long while convincing both his parents and hers to allow them to wed, he married her when they were both 15 years old. They lived happily for many years and had two children. She was the first to catch the plague, and she died soon after, followed by both of their children... He cursed the gods for allowing him to live, yet no death came...
Once the Silver-haired girl came to town and granted everyone immortality, Isaac had no reason to accept, yet no reason to refuse either. When he became immortal, somehow, something changed him, seeing as he had eternity ahead of him, he decided not to remain sad and pathetic, but to life on as he normally did, but carrying his wife and children in his heart as he went through the centuries...
After the village scattered, Isaac moved to London and got a job at an Inn as a Bartender. In 1381, he joined in the Peasant's revolt, and for the first time, experienced death at the hands of the British Militia. In the 15th century, Isaac moved to Cardiff, once it was burnt down he aided in the rebuilding and eventually set up a bakery. After a decade, Isaac became bored, and left the town. He started exploring the entire country. In 1533 he returned to London, he lived there as a blacksmith, and after 10 years he joined the military and learned to use a sword. After three years he moved to Bristol and learned to sail, planning on going to the New World. Sadly his plan was cut short by the Marian persecutions, Isaac was burned at the stake for defending some protestants. Thankfully they disposed of his body before he regenerated, but it still hurt, a lot. Isaac moved back to London and learned how to be an Apothecary. He eventually joined the British Navy and aided in destroying the Spanish Armada in 1588.
Isaac moved back to Bristol for a few decades, then moved to London and joined the Virginia Company, and in 1607 moved to the New World and helped found Jamestown. After about a decade living in Jamestown, he left and began exploring the wilderness, interacting with the natives, and loving the hell out of being in the free wildlife. He didn't return to civilization until 1709, he had explored for a hundred years, and now was curious what had changed. He returned to a British Colony in the North, and took a ship back to England. After a few more years of living in the changed environment, he moved to Prussia, which is where he got his Walloon Sword. He moved around that area and lived there for awhile, but moved to France in 1732. He lived there and eventually rose to be a self-proclaimed bourgeoisie. He studied French law and helped a few people out, until the French Revolution in 1789. Isaac was in Paris when it first began, aiding in the attack on the Bastille. During the Reign of Terror, he tried to stop the pointless beheadings, which led to his own execution. Luckily, just like when he was burned at the stake, he regenerated after everyone thought he was dead and no one was around to know otherwise. He ran from the City and returned to the New World, now the United States of America. He lived as any other man in the first half of the 19th century, he even learned how to use artillery.
But living for so long, everything was boring to him. His psyche broke away, and eventually he started committing suicide in increasingly painful ways for the rest of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. He strapped himself to train tracks, shot himself in the head, lit himself on fire, got someone to cut out his heart and throw it in a lake, he drowned himself, he did many, many, things to himself, until 1920, when a woman stopped him from lighting a stick of dynamite in his mouth. They became friends, her name was Abigail. The two became good friends, but never romantically involved. Isaac, as well as every other white American, was gaining a lot of money in the 1920's, for work, he taught people to speak different languages, since he knew Prussian, German, Polish, English, French, and some Native American Languages. When the great Depression hit, Abigail was married to a, now destitute, stock broker, who ended up committing suicide after trying to kill Abigail. Isaac took Abigail away from the town they lived in and took her to Chicago. By then she realized that Isaac didn't age, but didn't bother asking about it. Abigail was gunned down during a Mafioso fight, and Isaac joined the family that was attacked, it just happened to be Al Capone, they slaughtered the opposing family and Isaac stayed with them for a long while.
Once World War II started, Isaac joined the American army, he participated in multiple battles and died multiple times as well. After the war was over, Isaac started to write books about the past from the point of view of someone who was actually there, which he was... With every decade he lived it became harder and harder to stay under the radar, so he did used a lot of money to have fake birth certificates made, and after 23 years he would start using it for about 10 years, then would move onto another one. For the rest of the century he was enthralled with the technological advancements and other things, but continued to write books under multiple fake names until the 1990s.
Isaac decided to go to college and get a degree in medicine, he graduated in 1998, and subsequently went to a hospital and in 2002 he finished his residency and had to move on to another fake ID. He started to study his own biology, and after ten years of study, discovered absolutely nothing different from himself and a normal human. He then moved to Europe and started to live there on the remainder of his money, which was quite a bit since he didn't eat much, didn't live well, and didn't have a family to care for. In 2022 A Isaac started to notice some of the people from Corebrook with their hearts cut out on the news, he started to track down the Immortals and figure out who it was that was mercilessly slaughtering his old friends...
