Cesar is the youngest of three sons of one of Columbia’s most feared drug lords. His older brother Rafael had joined the priesthood, and Cesar practically worshiped the ground that Rafael walked on. Cesar too wanted to join the priesthood, but his father refused to let him. One priest in the family was good enough for his father.

Cesar wasn’t in line to inherit the business; that honor went to h is eldest brother Marco. Instead Cesar was to head security for his brother. At first Cesar balked at not getting his wish. However, no one denies Don Escobar for long. Cesar was unceremoniously shipped to Cuba for training.

Under the tutelage of the often brutal Sergeant Alfonso Perez of the Revolutionary Army, Cesar learned hand to hand combat, how to fire a wide range of firearms, and tactics in general. Cesar spent five grueling years in Cuba, while he was tempted to abandon his faith due to all the temptations Sergeant Perez put in his way from strong drink to prostitutes Cesar persevered. For Cesar is was only through the strength of his convictions in the doctrine for the Catholic church that saved him. While Sergeant Perez couldn’t understand Cesar’s zeal he applauded it none the less.

The man who came back to Bogota was not the boy who left. Cesar was hardened man. A sword for Don Escobar to wield. However, the don was never able to use the knowledge that Cesar gained from Sergeant Escobar. The Drug Enforcement Agency along with the Central Intelligence Agency raided the Escobar compound.

Mistakes were made and shots were fired. Cesar who was in the compound when the attack came killed several agents before taking a wound in his arm. Cesar escaped through a secret tunnel with CIA agents hot on his tail. With nowhere else to turn to Cesar fled to Rafael’s church. Rafael granted his brother sanctuary, eventually getting him smuggled out of the country.

It was the first time that Cesar had ever been to Europe. His first visit to Saint Peter’s Basilica put Cesar into ecstasy. He was determined to see the whole city and all it’s wonders. In a small chapel that Cesar met Cardinal Syn who was praying for the souls of the heretics. Cesar and the cardinal struck up a conversation about doctrine and over the next few hours the two became fast friends. It was the cardinal who invited Cesar to join the Assassini or the Order of Truth. Upon taking his vow of obedience to Cardinal Syn Cesar was given the name Doctrine. His new vocation with the Order of Truth hasn’t sat well with the Columbian drug lords.

Cesar is a very devout man. He sees himself as a defender of the of the faith. He will kill to support the doctrine set down by the Catholic Church. As a devout man, he goes to mass every Sunday, gives a generous tithe, and even occasionally teaches a Sunday school class.

Cesar is also vain. He likes to wear the finest of clothes, and keeps his beard and mustache trimmed to perfection. While he doesn’t mind getting blood, because it’s part of the job, Cesar always strives to look good in the end.

The Catholic Religion is very important to Cesar, and every thing around him revolves around his faith. Most conversations with Cesar have a religious aspect to them. Cesar can quote the bible chapter and verse. He’s not afraid to expound upon his religious beliefs while pounding a foe into submission.

“Bless me Padre, for I’ve just slain a rather lot of sinners.”

Doctrine is a normal human in most respects. The two things that set him apart from most people is his quickness and his uncanny ability to find weakness in his opponents defenses. Neither of these are actual powers, but have been gained through constant training and practice.

Doctrine is a skill hand to hand combatant, easily able to kill a sinner with his bare hands. In addition to his unarmed skills, Doctrine wields a number of blades which he can throw at an amazing rate. For more personal attacks Doctrine will take on a foe with his ‘Blade of Doctrine”, a weapon that can easily cut through the strongest of armor. When trying to make a point, or not trying to be subtle Doctrine will whip out his .50 Desert Eagle, which he has affectionately dubbed ‘Absolution.”

Doctrine is a man of average height and weight. His clothing is always stylish. His usual costume is pointed toe cowboy boots, black slacks, a white long sleeved shirt, and a red vest. Over this he likes to wear a tooled bandoleer for his many knives. He keeps ‘Absolution’ stuck in the waistband of his slacks.
