Biography
|
Templeton was a young cartographer from the land of Kanakan who dedicated his youth toward mapping the entire world in perfect detail and accuracy. For maximum detail, he chose to traverse the world himself, step by step. While travelling the world, expanded his map, he would have to update his map whenever there was a new discovery. Although young, the zeal he put into his task was exemplary.
He would join both the Toran Liberation Army during the Gate Rune War, meeting the leader of the army at the burnt remeains of the Village of the Elves. Lamenting the need to adjust his maps, he would join the army in order to prevent more tragedies such as had befallen the Village of the Elves.
He provided the Liberation Army with the Suiko Map and continued to work hard at Toran Castle, mapping its interior from his dedicated workspace. After the war ended, he journeyed the sea in order to find the edge of the world.
Three years later, he travelled the Dunan region where he met Nash Latkje in Muse City, deciding to share a room in the inn with him. He then went to the Mercenary Fortress and Toto Village, only to find them ravaged by the Highland forces, and subsequently joined New State Army during the Dunan Unification War in order to not only have new places to map but also to oppose forces that would either stop him from mapping their facilities or would destroy towns, leaving them to be remapped.
During the war, Templeton thought about returning to Toran Castle for a while once it ended, but then resumed his journey to find the edge of the world.
Abilities
Despite his young age, Templeton is already an able cartograph who cartographed the whole Scarlet Moon Empire and City-State of Jowston, creating two Suiko Maps in the process.

His knowing of the terrain especially came in handy in battles against the Highland Kingdom, as he lead his unit through short cuts.
