OH MAN let me try to give you a very basic rundown but he's from a fantasy canon (though it does have some level of technology) and is part of a group that is... sorta like the Avengers in that they are dedicated to PROTECTING THE REALM but they're not really superheroes so much as a group of like-minded individuals that want to protect the world from a whole variety of different threats. He is the charming pretty boy of the team but also works himself really hard and has gotten himself into trouble in the past because of that, he's both a rogue type and a tank type because of reasons annnd he recently became an adoptive dad so ....... OK that wasn't very brief but there you go!

All of these rumors are very helpful and gathering intel is sort of Thancred's thing, so I'm going to assume he heard some, if not all of this before they meet. He will definitely find it odd that she's being so avoidant based on all that and that might make him curious enough to approach her at some point. 8) Or just try to casually end up where she is, he didn't plan this at all what are you talking about
