Just got the green light to add a soldier to the mix

Name: Malcolm Illium
Age: Late 20s
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Dark brown, near-black
Appearance: Malcolm is a soldier of the Royal Legions, and as such is physically fit and in top condition. He rarely appears in public out of uniform, but underneath bears many scars from battles fought. He also has a large, prominent scar near his left eye, an injury from the devastating defeat that prompted his transfer from the front lines to a lowly position guarding an old supply outpost in a small town near the Tower Academy.
Abilities: Malcolm has a sporadic and difficult to control ability to see the true nature of others' hearts, though he does not realize the nature of his ability. The bastard son of a promiscuous barmaid who was frequently too "hospitable" to her male customers and a mysterious traveler, he suspects his unwanted ability to be a punishment for the misdeeds of his mother and father. Because of his lowly rank in society, his ability was never made known to those who could have taught him to control and harness it, though he believes his mixed blood to have rendered his ability too dilute to be of note, in any case. Through his life he has learned to suppress his visions, though in times of great duress it still manifests, often to Malcolm's great detriment.
Background: Malcolm joined the military as soon as he was old enough, eager to escape the slovenly life he lived at the bar his mother tended. He showed great promise and physical skill, rising through the ranks quickly. He returned from his most recent combat deployment in disgrace, however, when soldiers reported that he suffered an apparent breakdown in the heat of battle, believing an opposing warrior to be some sort of demon, causing the rest of his troops to fall into disarray. Malcolm knows what he experienced to be one of his visions, but having hidden his ability in shame his entire life, could say nothing in his defense. Despite his physical prowess in combat, the royal military advisors felt it best to reassign him to a post away from the front lines, tasking him with heading the defense of a minor supply stockpile in an otherwise quiet town near the Tower Academy, frequented mainly by the town's inhabitants and occasional visitors from the Academy. While his superiors in the military are distrustful of the Academy, which typically does not intervene in the affairs of the surrounding kingdoms, Malcolm also secretly hopes that the Academy may hold the key to ridding himself of what he perceives as a curse, so that he may one day regain his honor and rank in the Legions.
