Red Files: Timothy Orphan

Timothy Orphan is a boy from a small town in Order territory that was destroyed by Mamano under the influence of a destructive Apophis. After being saved by Marcellus, he is almost raped by a Zombie and a Skeleton who turn out to be his Undead parents. Being again saved by Marcellus and feeling helpless, he begins to train himself physically and mentally to become a hero, a saint, of the Human Race.

Childhood
Tim's parents died before he could remember and he was raised in an Orphanage. He spent a lot of time with himself and was never adopted.

Around the age of 11, the town is attacked by, unusually, Desert Mamano and he is cornered by a Mummy. Before anything could happen to him, he was saved by a local militia called Marcellus, who then went on to best a Sphinx, too.

After being saved by Marcellus, Tim followed him until the survivors of the town came to a halt and set up camp. Whilst Marcellus was occupied, Tim slipped away and ran to the one place he wanted to see before he left.

His parents' graves.

Going to pay his final respects, he was forced to hide in a crypt when he heard something coming for him. Only a short while later did he retreat from the crypt due to banging coming from one of the coffins, but back on the surface, things were not looking good. His father's bones had been reanimated in the form of a Skeleton, and his mother had returned as a zombie. Tim ran but, confused as he was, he ended up running towards his mother's arms.

Fortunately, before the Undead could take advantage of their former son, Marcellus showed up once again and saved him. Deeply traumatised by the events, Tim remained silent for a number of days and refused to speak at all. One good thing came out of the silence; he took up bird watching and his silence proved efficient in drawing them closer. One day, after Marcellus tried to get through to him, a small robin redbreast came and landed on his finger, which brought him comfort. Inspired by the robin and Marcellus, Tim left the group when they reached a town and sought a mentor to teach him how to fight.
