Soren is extremely fit for his age. He believes that as a leader, his responsibility is to be able to do anything he commands his men to do. Not that he actually does that ... but he's prideful enough that he wants to stay strong and look like it. Being the Grand Prior of the Knights of Purity, he cares very much for his appearance and always keeps his beard and mustache clean and well-trimmed. His eyes are a dark brown that often seem pitiless and as though they want nothing more than to strike you down where you stand, unless he likes you, of course. Then he can smile, which is something that rarely happens, but also softens his whole face. Soren walks like a leader: tall and confident in every aspect. All in all, he has a very commanding, intimidating presence.
[break][break]
Soren has everything that he wants. As Grand Prior of the Knights of Purity, he feels as though he is a King and demands that everyone treats him as such. All people recognize him and show him the respect that he feels he deserves and he thrives on that. He prides himself as being a man that everyone admires and fears, pleased with the obedience that comes when he commands anything. He got where he is today by being ruthless in battle and getting results. During his time as Grand Prior, the Knights of Purity have perfected their methods used to exterminate dragons and Soren commands more strikes than have ever been ordered in the history of the knights.
He has a strong distaste for any and all kinds of dragons. He hates them with a fiery passion and his goal is to truly exterminate them. Excalibur is slightly better in his eyes, but he refuses to believe that they have solved the dragon problems merely by becoming their friends. Such an idea is pure nonsense in his eyes. Eventually, he believes that the dragons in Excalibur will turn on their "friends" and make them into their slaves.
Soren is a very manipulative and persuasive man, which is a dangerous combination. He thrives on loopholes, trickery, and lying, though he harshly punishes anyone that he catches doing the same thing to him. He is not trustworthy and always has his own agenda, his own plans that he keeps to himself. Occasionally he will share parts of his plan with others, making them believe that he trusts them, but he only employs that method when he wants to trick them into doing something for him. He thrives on his control over the Knights of Purity and all that they do, taking an inordinate amount of pleasure in vetoing any of their ideas that he does not like. He likes to feel powerful.
His main fear is that someone will try to replace him or overthrow him. His whole life has been focused on reaching his current position and he will do anything in his power to keep it now that he has it in his grasp. The only way he would let anyone take his place would be through his death. He will not relinquish his position for anything less.

Soren was raised as a dragon's slave. His childhood is remembered in a dark place, where he was forced to do menial tasks for a cruel dragon that cared nothing for his servants. He had 2 brothers and 3 sisters, but they all died while serving this dragon. When he was 7, he watched the dragon roast his father alive for not doing its bidding quickly enough. When he was 12 he watched his mother try to run away, driven mad by the dragon's demands and punishments. The dragon followed her and then came back, ordering his servants to bring his dinner an hour later than usual. His brothers and sisters were all murdered similarly, and each time one of them died, Soren's determination to escape grew, as well as his determination to take down this dragon.
At age 16, Soren decided that he had enough. He convinced the remaining servants in the mansion to help him overpower the dragon. Many of them were too scared to participate in an outright rebellion, so he planned a sneaky one and lied to them in order to get their help. He had specific servants steal poison from the marketplace while doing their duties for the dragon. He told the servants that his plan was to put the dragon to sleep (by using a small dose of the poison) and that they would escape then on foot before he woke up. Many of the servants were simple-minded and naive and didn't realize what his real plan was. They merely wished to escape, they had no desire to kill the dragon (mostly because if they were caught trying it would mean certain death). Soren slipped the entire bottle of poison into a meal for the dragon without the other servants noticing and when the dragon fell down dead, he left without a second glance. He didn't care if the others escaped the notice of nearby dragons. He didn't caare about the other servants at all. He just wanted to get away himself.
Then he found the Knights of Purity. He learned quickly the steps necessary to become a knight and immediately employed himself with them. He wanted to learn how to kill dragons outright. Then he saw the Grand Prior for the first time. From that moment on, he had a new goal. Everything he did was designed to move him up on the ladder, to become the Grand Prior. He manipulated, persuaded, worked harder than anyone he knew and after many years he reached his goal, by age 35. The Prior before him died mysteriously and the doctors could not figure out how he had died, but by that point there was no question in anyone's mind about who would be the next Prior: Soren.
He took on the challenge of Grand Prior with relish, loving every moment of it. He was protective of himself and trusted no one- mostly because it was the previous Prior's mistake of trusting Soren that led to his premature death. Soren led the Knights to vicious attacks against any and all dragons. He heard about the rebel group, Excalibur, but thought nothing of them until he began losing Knights to them. From then on, he began teaching his Knights about Excalibur in such a way that not many would even look at a member of Excalibur without being entirely disgusted. He taught that members of Excalibur were too weak to do what needed to be done to save the human race, that they thought love was the answer. He taught them that love was never the answer and filled the Knights of Purity with even more hatred of the dragons. He was determined that all the Knights would feel the same hatred that he did of the dragons. He was determined to win the battle against Ryluth- the supposed dragon queen- but also against Excalibur- the weak links in the human race.
