Paeter

Paeter was the mentor and leader of the motley.  He is was an npc.  However, I thought it would be groovy if you all knew his background since he has ties to everyone in the motley.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Barnes was an officer in the army and Mary was his high school  sweetheart. They lived on the military bases that James was assigned to.  Within a year of being married, on May 2, 1948, James and Mary had their son, James Jr, or Jimmy as they liked to call him.

Before the Korean War began, when it was only a conflict, James was shipped out to work in Korea.  While he was away Mary was tragically killed in an auto accident when her car was driven off the road over a cliff onto the rocky shore.  Jimmy was thrown from the car when it rolled down the cliff side and was miraculously uninjured.  After Mary's death, James threw himself into his work trying to bury his grief with obligations and duty.  Jimmy was sent to live with James' elderly great aunt, Eleanor, until his father returned after the war.

Jimmy's time being raised by Auntie Eleanor was a magical time in his life.  Auntie Eleanor loved to tell stories and play pretend with him.  She taught him of duty, honor, and compassion.

Jimmy was 6 when James returned from Korea with his new wife, Young-ja, (though she prefers the American name she chose for herself: Carol).  Shortly after their homecoming Carol had his little sister, Hope.  Jimmy adored Hope.  He was always gentle with her and very protective of her.  He did a great job of shielding her from the majority of prejudice and racism that was cast her way since she was biracial.

Jimmy spent his summers alone with Auntie Eleanor.  Hope was too young and Carol could not bare to be separated from her.  Auntie Eleanor was very aged. Jimmy took care of her the last couple of summers of her life.  When Jimmy was 13, on the summer solstice, Auntie Eleanor said her final goodbyes and passed away.  This is when Jimmy had his chrysalis and recognized his fae self: a troll named Paeter.

Paeter was fostered by the Brotherhood of Thor in San Francisco.  After his fosterage he decided to help new fae that might not have been as fortunate as him to receive that help. Fae by fae he formed a motley he dubbed The Lost Boys as a play on his name and that of his girlfriend, Windy.  There were a couple that he lost along the way when the motley was just starting; one to banality and another wanted to go his own way.  He mentored kids as best he could and watched out for them always.
