Personality:
Although he might not look like it, Deusdedit is a highly spiritual religious male. Although his life does not revolve only around his religion, he does live by its morals and ideals as closely as possible. He is a honest, hard-working male who believes in kindness and unconditional love as that is the kind of God he serves. However, he can also be rather rigid in his thinking and will not tolerate people who disrespects his beliefs... Simply because he'll never do that to someone else's beliefs.
He is also gentle and caring, mirroring his mate's personality. However, unlike her, he is not naive and is able to see through most lies. He is also bold in the face of danger, believing that he is protected by God. Despite that, if he feels that he is incapable of dealing with a situation by himself, he will not face it head on. In that sense, he is capable of logical thinking rather than being blinded by his faith.
History:
Although he remembered a family when he was a young foal, most of his foalhood was spent with other Usdias in a rather cramp stable. Due to the horrible living conditions, he faced death more than once. Luckily, he was soon rescued by the kind pastor of a church in the city and moved there when he was still young and impressionable. He was named 'Deusdedit'; it meant 'God has given' and he was named as such because the pastor believed that 'God has given' Deus to the church.
Although it took him some time to get used to the company of the people attending church, he soon grew comfortable and often sat in during the Sunday services. It soon became common for him to be seen inside the hall every Sunday morning. However, unbeknown to the people, the young Usdia understood every service and grew to love the God they worshiped. As he grew into a stallion, he began to long for the day where God would reveal His plan for his life.
The day finally came when he heard of people talking about a 'New World'. With good intentions, the stallion stowed away on a ship and arrived at the 'New World'. However, as he did not understand the local language nor know his way around, the male decided that God had asked him to wait and he did. Grace found him a few days later and took him in.
You can say that the rest is just history!
