I'll remove his magic then. Tbh I just liked the idea of a demon fighting berserker using a small portion of dark magic himself. And I assumed all demons used a form of dark magic. If that's not the case, and if enchantments however small are that expensive, I'll remove the mildly enchanted armor. It doesn't make sense for the Slayers to spring that much cash up for an apprentice to have a slight resistance to something he already has a resistance to. I was thinking of that enchantment as being, like, standard issue.

As for him being at the caravan, his order is not meant to be fighting wars, and after they were disbanded this leaves members like Thorn in a weird legal predicament where the military at large doesn't know whether they still count as soldiers or not. To solve this, Thorn is technically a civilian mercenary hired to protect a caravan. He never formally was Knighted as a Slayer anyways, being only a Knight-Apprentice.

Also sad backstory =/= constantly talking about it. Thorn is not going to be constantly thinking about the past. He'll probably be loudly complaining about the present and arguing with whatever he comes across.
