Personal history
A former arcane researcher and professor Oswald was quite invested in his work into unknown artifacts, however, after stumbling upon an ancient relic of mysterious origins he became forcefully bound to an ancient patron that resided within Oswald’s mind. The entity or All-Seeing Eye as it referred to itself altered Oswald’s mind and ability to better become their vessel and tool, which nearly (possibly, maybe) made Oswald go insane from the near-constant whispering in his mind. Bound and under complete control of the old god many years passed, Oswald, slipping in and out of consciousness never fully in control of himself before one day snapping back fully in control of himself but deeply scarred from the large gaps in his memory. With the sudden freedom and absence of his patron, Oswald began wandering the world constantly in a state of paranoia and unease that he would suddenly awaken back in the cage in his mind. With little sanity left Os roamed constantly pursued by religious organizations eager to research the mysterious entity that had rooted itself in his head forcing Oswald to constantly move lest he be captured.
Education
Oswald before his accident was a prominent and well-known professor of magic runology and relics and spent many years furthering his knowledge about the arcane nature of many runes and relics. After he was able to remove his patron and retired from adventuring Oswald returned to Mimir to become a researcher once again, eventually regaining a position in the Arcanis Library.
Employment
Occult Relics Researcher (Former), Professor of Runology (Former), Adventurer (Former), Researcher and Mentor (Current).
Mental Trauma
Oswald is simply put a little broken on the inside, years of emotional and psychological manipulation left Oswald little trust in anything even his own thoughts betraying him. A slave to his patron Oswald spent many years in and out of conscious sanity but the feeling never faded, the things he was forced to do still linger at the back of his plagued mind, making Oswald deeply terrified of the what-ifs? what if all things he did, were his choice all along?
Morality & Philosophy

Family Ties
Os never got the chance to have a family, being taken and held for most of his life he felt that type of happiness was stolen permanently by his patron. However, after he retired and was freed Oswald eventually found a family in two young tieflings that like him were alone in the world becoming their guardian and mentoring the two.
Religious Views
Oswald always had differing views on religion compared to his past friends. Unlike Vesta's disinterest in religious faith or Herb's steadfast beliefs in his god, Oswald often found himself terrified at the mere mention of religious practice with years spent bent to the will of a being that could very well be a god left Os with little love left towards religion.
