Theodoric van Orton is the reigning Duke of Normandie and a key figure in the resurgence of Norman identity in Micras’ Keltian northwest. Born in 1704 AN in Hurmu, of Batavian-Bosworthian from Normandy heritage, his life has become the stuff of legend: from a military dropout and wrestling champion to the iron-willed leader who, in 1744 AN, reclaimed his people's homeland in the fires of war.
In 1751 AN, Theodoric became a senator and, according to the storyline in Clash at Quimper 5, retired from the dukedom.
Personal life
Raised in Hurmu, a suburb of Norman exiles, Theodoric grew up longing for lost lands and struggling with family problems. He lost his father to a serious injury during a pro wrestling match. He became interested in pro wrestling in his youth and then enrolled in the Hurmu Military Academy, a school renowned for its high salaries and promising career prospects. However, he quickly became disillusioned with the school's strict rules and foreign doctrines. He left the academy in his late teens and was erased from official records. Theodoric's life was never easy afterward, and he struggled to find success in any job he held. He later decided to further specialize in pro wrestling.
Re-emerging as a professional wrestler in the mid 1720s under the name “The Mountain of Orton”, Theodoric built a reputation across Hurmu, Keltia, and parts of Benacia for his brutal fighting style and nationalist oratory. He turned arenas into platforms for rekindling Norman identity, especially among the displaced and dispossessed.
The return to Normandie
In 1743 AN, as political unrest swept through the Keltia continent, Theodoric vanished from public view and was soon rumored to have returned to the ancient Norman homeland — now a shattered land caught between the ambitions of the Keltia Restoration Movement (KRM) and various colonial administrations.
There, he united remnants of the old noble houses, militia groups, and disaffected peasants under one banner: the Normandie Revolt Army. His leadership was not only martial but deeply symbolic — a call to reawaken a buried nation.
On 15.X.1746, the Senate of the Lakes inducted Theodoric van Orton into the Order of the Holy Lakes as a Knight of the Holy Lakes, for his work in pacifying Normandie and promoting the values of the Brida there. He subsequently married the Normandic noblewoman Victoréne de Autuncourt.
