An immortal over 2000 years old and the protector of both Christendom and numerous powerful artifacts. He has been watching the world for millenniums.
John is very knowledgable about the world and what goes on in it and even though he is immortal and has witnessed the horrors of man he remains faithful. A bright and energetic man that is more inclined to love someone then to hate him. A Christian by faith and proclamation. He is kindhearted and tries to remain both fair and just in all things he sets out to do. He is though secretive of who he is and would rather remain unknown to the world as he continues to watch it change. He is also a teacher at heart and can not resist anyone that comes to him to learn.
The Artifacts of Power:
The Holy Grail: John is the keeper and protector of the Holy Grail. The cup that was used during Christ's last supper and the cup that collected the living water and blood that flowed from his wounds on the cross. The Grail possess powers from the Almighty that can heal any wound and any disease. Those who have died may be given life again if they are found worthy to have their life given to them again. John has found a way to connect his soul to the holy grail which gives him amazing healing abilities and his immortality without having to keep the grail on his person. With his soul acting as a conduit John can heal the wounds and illnesses of others even allow those who are blind to see. He can't though bring people back from the dead unless he has the grail itself. The Grail though will resurrect John should he ever die because of his soul connection. There remains only two things that can rid the world of John. He must give his blessing to someone else or be killed with the spear of destiny.
The Spear of Destiny: John is also keeper and protector of the Spear of Destiny. The very weapon the stuck the side of christ on the day of his crucifixion. The weapon gives the power of any who use it the skill and mastery of anyone who once held the spear in their hands and used it in battle. It also offers a large strength and speed boost to the person. What makes this weapon so alluring though is it's power to kill any immortal or god. If a lethal blow is hit with this spear and if the person be any type of god of immortal they will die. John has hidden the spear away and even he doesn't use it. It is safely tucked far away in a tomb.
Druid hourglass: Created by the Druids of the British isles when their home was being conquered by the Romans. They never were given the chance to use the large glass, and how they created it and got the designs for it remain a mystery. It is a very alien looking device that does not much resemble an hour-glass but it called so due to the shifting crimson grains under the glass of the face. When asked what these grains where John says that it is human bone covered and stained by blood that was crushed into a fine dust. The Device is able to open wormholes that can lead to a desired time and or place. Making time travel possible.
Ark of the Covenant: The most powerful of John's Artifacts that is to remained unknown to all people until he deems it the right time to bring it back into the light.
The Seal of Solomon: This is one of the most powerful rings to ever appear in the mortal realm. The Seal of Solomon was a ring gifted to Solomon from God so that Solomon could bind and control all forms of demons. Not even Lucifer himself is immune to the effects, and with it a single man could control all of Hell's Armies. Though one must be of pure heart and sound mind so that the influence of the dark powers brought by devils and fallen angels do not taint the mind of the user. Even Solomon had a hard time.
The Key of Solomon: A book that was created when the 1000 lovers of Solomon decided to collect all the most powerful magic and spells from all their original homelands into a single book and give it to wise Solomon. It was and still is the most powerful book of magic and spells ever created and could making any wizard of mage far more powerful then they could imagine.
The Staff of Moses: The Staff of Moses is a very powerful artifact that has many abilities. It can create miracles, invoke the plagues Egypt on a target, and shift into a very deadly snake.
Crown of Thorns: The Crown of thrones is the very one that was placed on the head of Jesus Christ. Those who don the crown are filled with all the knowledge and wisdom of the universe, but at the cost of extreme pain that the user would possibly be killed by.
Key of Atlantis: The very Key to the Doors of Atlantis. Those who do not have this key can not enter the lost city.
Muhammad's sword: The Sword is strong and is unable to rust or wear old or grow dull. Strangely the Sword seems to only gift those that hold it the ability to speak fluent Arabic and hold faithful muslims in awe. perhaps John will find other powers in it but for now that has been all.
Bow of Apollo: This beautiful bow that shines with the glory of a rising sun is a truly powerful artifact. It lunches fiery bolts at it's targets and there his no distance that the arrow can not travel. And the arrows used can be forged by the very fires of thought and imagination that it's wielder wishes. Making an assortment of all kinds of bolts that can be used for all purposes. A weapon worthy of the beautiful and creative Apollo.
Swords of Beowulf: Hrunting: The Sword given to Beowulf to slay Grendel's mother, but ultimately failed to cut her flesh. Though the sword failed then it is still very powerful and able to cut through most material as well as giving it's owner increased strength, speed, and ability to wield it. The Giant's Sword: The sword that was lifted by Beowulf and slew the immortal mother of Grendel. The sword is still damaged from the fight with half the blade gone after the blood that stained it melted the metal away. The Hilt and what's left of the blade though remains very large and extremely heavy, but those able to wield it may find that this broken blade can still cut through much and even melt away material with the acidity of the blood that once stained it. Naegling: The Sword snapped during Beowulf's final fight with the Dragon because his might was too much for the metal. John though was able to retrieve the blades and reforged this mighty weapon. Using dragon blood in the forging process John had recreated this beautiful gem embedded blade into a true divine work of art. The blade will never again break, due to the dragon blood, and cuts through all material with great ease. Not even Dragon scale can hold up against the blade, and because of the blood used to forge it any immortal dragon can be slain with it.
Ring of Dispel: This ring was given to Sir Lancelot by the Lady of the Lake which could dispel any enchantment. He used the ring to cross the Sword Bridge
The Tonbogiri: is one of three legendary Japanese spears created by the famed swordsmith Masazane Fujiwara, said to be wielded by the daimyō Honda Tadakatsu. The spear derives its name from the myth that a dragonfly landed on its blade and was instantly cut in two.
Kronus' sickle: made of Adamantine and able to cut through anything. Cronus was given this sword by Gaea so that he could slay Uranus. It is said that those who wield the sickle of Kronus can perform feats that allow them to have control over time. To pause, slow down, speed up, manipulate age, and other magics that the user could imagine.
The Ancile: A shield once used by the god of war. The shield itself is indestructible but beyond that it has no other uses other than a shield.
The Shield of Evalach: a white shield belonging to the titular king. Josephus of Arimathea painted a red cross upon it with his own blood, which granted the owner heavenly protection. It was later won by Sir Galahad. The most powerful of the shields in John's possession this Shield can protect not just the user but all those the user wishes to protect as well.
The Helm of Darkness: created by the Cyclopes for Hades. It made the wearer invisible. Also used by Perseus.
Over his 2000 year life John has collected many if not more artifacts of power and keeps them hidden away so that no one can hide them and use them. He may have an artifact on him but that will most likely be the Holy Grail or Key of Atlantis. The other artifacts he keeps tucked away even from himself. It is his job to watch the world and protect these items can not be wielded by the unworthy.

Titus grew up in Ancient Rome as a young man whose father was a famous general and advisor to the current emperor. Growing up in a privileged and well to do life. Like every roman boy he worshipped the gods and loved to watch the gladiators fight. He enjoyed all types of arena games and with his high postion of class he could be found sitting among the nobles of Rome. Though much changed in Titus' life one day, after a night of hard drinking and parties, when he was scheduled to spar with the Emperor's Son. During the match Titus killed the boy and was then banished from rome only because of his father being well received by the emperor. He was banished to Israel as low ranking member of the legion. There he met the woman that would forever be the love of his life. He quickly became swooned with the woman, who happened to be a follower of a local rabbi named Yeshua. Or as history would know him as Jesus. As time went on Titus grew more in love with this woman and she grew more in love with him even taking Titus to see Yeshua in person. They talked and had a pleasant conversation but Titus was a son of rome and he wasn't going allow some poor jewish rabbi change that. Until one day he was declared that Titus' master Centurion would be in charge of the Death of Yeshua. Titus became a witness to the crucifixion and stood on the hill, nailed the man to the tree, and casted lots for his clothing. Soon though as Yeshua breathed his last a mighty earthquake began to shake the ground. They had to leave the mount, which meant the prisoners had to die. Though as Titus approached Yeshua's cross he noticed that he had died already. He called for his Centurion who then ordered him to make sure. John took his spear in hand and stabbed the side of Yeshua. The earth quite shaking and the storms began to pass and as Titus looked up at the body watching as blood and water flowed from it a woman came by and collected what she could in a cup as she wept. A few days later Titus witnessed the resurrected Christ and from that day forward he ran from the legion and lived among other believers in Israel. As well as marrying the woman he fell in love with. Later it would be decided that Titus (who was now named John) would be the sole keeper of the Grail. With his new found immortality John lived many more years watching and guiding the world in his own way. Looking for artifacts and gaining many friends, enemies, and students along the way.
