APPEARANCE: Hitler believed in the Aryan race, and like a good German boy Boaz fits right into that category. His hair is usually dirty blond in colour, and usually not perfectly cut. Usually he cuts it himself, so it's nothing near perfect. When it's recently cut, it tends to be slightly shorter on the sides and back of his head then on top. He keeps the the hair there swept back off his face so it doesn't get in his eyes. His skin is fair, light in colour but certainly not even close to the pale nature of an immortal's.

His body doesn't have any tattoos or piercings, but it does have many flaws. His back has many raised scars from various incidents. In the middle of his torso, just above his belly button her has a long white scar and he also carries one more jagged one on his left pectoral muscle carrying onto his shoulder. Perhaps the most distinctive and off-putting of all his scars are the ones most visible to the public. On his face he has two long, white scars that lead from the edges of his mouth perfectly up to the tragus of his ear on either side. They're responsible for him gaining the nickname of 'smiley' or 'scar-face' in most bars or public places.

He stands at a rather average height for a mortal man, six feet exactly. However, he's slightly underweight from the fact he simply doesn't eat properly. He travels often which limits him to eating out. Considering fast food is out o the question for him, he usually survives on about one meal a day and perhaps a small snack if he's able to find one. Because of his lack of food intake but he constant walking, running or moving in general, he does have a toned body. However, it is obviously being pushed to it's maximum structure. He would never be able to achieve the muscle you see in a boxing ring, but he certainly isn't deathly thin by any standard.

His lifestyle in general drains him out. Though he has a wonderful complexion, he tends to carry sickly rings under his piercing blue optics, making them stand out even more then they already do. His obviously flawed body is usually kept under some sort of wife beater or tee shirt, black pants and his brown wool trench coat. He is often in Russia and other more Northerly countries, so he tends to wear the wool trench coat to keep warm. He doesn't own much clothing, so you would usually see him in basically the same outfit for most of one season. He certainly isn't one to indulge in clothing and other lavish items.

PERSONALITY: Extremely quiet but not at all shy is a very good way to explain Boaz. He's a simple man who doesn't delve to much into other people. In most cases, he can go weeks and months without speaking to another person. People can be very harsh and judgmental, especially to social cripples such as himself. Because he doesn't express much emotion, or speak much at all, conversing is difficult. This also makes it hard for people to get to know him, and there for become more attached to him. It's very difficult to like someone when you aren't entirely sure if they like you.

There are other factors in his pitiful social life that contribute including his continuing travel, his tendency to live mostly during the night, his thick German accent and his lack of self confidence. He has trouble going out in public let alone having to speak with someone. He has a difficult time trusting people, since they are very unpredictable and mean. He can't trust people enough to simply look past his flaws, even though it isn't all that difficult. He believes that his facial scars are a lot harder to see past than they are, which stems into his lack of self confidence.

His anti-social nature and great distrust of people all stem into one key element of his nature: he hears voices. Now, in most cases of schizophrenia the person wouldn't know that the voice they hear isn't real, they also tend to hear two or more voices of different beings. This isn't entirely true for Boaz. He hears one voice, and he believes it to be the voice of God almighty. This voice tells him to kill people in the house of God that have become errant. He believes that by doing what his God tells him to, he'll gain a place in heaven even though what he does is against the good book itself. This doesn't mean he is a bible thumper in anyway. He does not pressure others into his religion, nor does he entirely follow the rules himself. Though he does often treat people with courtesy, he has no issue with showing a woman a good time (this doesn't happen often enough to get to him anyway.)

He knows about immortals only because, sometimes, the voice will ask one or two to be shot. He hasn't killed many immortals, enough to count on one hand. Though he doesn't entirely like them, because from the ones he's met or seen they were very egotistical and not very nice.

In general he does not kill or harm anyone unless he's given specific orders to. When he isn't on a mission from his God, he usually travels from city to city keeping himself hidden in bars and cafes. Most of the time he carries a sketchpad and pencil. Though he doesn't often speak to ladies or men he draws them to pass the time. Considering time seems to pass slowly for a man without a life.
WEAKNESSES: His sanity, socializing, relationships, devotion to his religion, his lack of tolerance for other races.
STRENGTHS: Pain tolerance, motivation, planning, not easily talked out of things (or into them,) he doesn't fear death.
LIKES: Doing as he's told, when things work out for the better, his faith, a hot meal, to feel safe.
DISLIKES: Judgmental people, loud things/people/places, public stares, public places, being out in the day time.
FEARS: Being trapped or lost and not knowing where to go next.
ASPIRATIONS: Being able to rest one day.

PARENTS: Josef Kalbfleisch, Rosine Kalbfleisch.
SIBLINGS: None.
OTHER: None.
BIRTH PLACE: Stuttgart, Germany.
SHORT HISTORY: Boaz had a very normal childhood. His father, Josef, was a heavy Christian believer, and his mother, Rosine, was a rather quiet and subdued woman. She never fully expressed her feelings on religion and such, but went with Boaz and his father to church every Sunday. Boaz was always a very quiet child, much like his mother. He didn't have many friends, but he probably didn't want them. Much like the man he is today, he didn't like the ways boys rough-housed and he the girls were always much too feminine. He had the mindset of an adult since he was very young, which made it difficult to get along with other children. They always acted very young to him.

When he became of age, Boaz joined the choir to basically appease to his father. Josef's true love was the Lord and church and to see his only child up there, singing praise to the lord...Well, that was something. A few years into his choir duties, when he was about 10, Boaz found one priest began taking particular interest in him. This, of course, made him feel very uncomfortable. Rather than leave and make his father very upset, he continued singing for the choir.

Within that year, the priest began to become more and more physical with the young Boaz. He began molesting Boaz after every choir practice (knowing every time his father was about an hour late due to work.) It didn't take long for the molesting to turn from bad to worse. Within a year, by the time Boaz as only eleven, the priest did the worst thing imaginable.

After about two months of taking this weekly torture for his father, Boaz finally decided he'd had enough. He went to his Josef seeking help to escape from this man of God, but it didn't get far. At this point, Josef had become obsessed with the faith, perhaps to the point of being insane about it. Instead of helping his only child, he simply told him that Jesus had gone through more anguish and torture than anything Boaz could feel. He continued making Boaz go to his choir practices.

So Boaz left it at that. The one man who he'd always thought would help him, didn't. The rape went on for 2 more years after that, until Boaz hit the age of 13. He'd never felt more relieved then the day his voice cracked in the middle of 'Forgive and You Shall Be Forgiven.' He was no longer good for the choir, and was let go.

Years later, Boaz went to study Biology at the Medical University of Vienna. Only months into his stay there, he had a dream. In that dream a voice he believed to be God told him that what that priest had done was wrong, and that he needed to be punished and cleansed. Everything he'd wanted to hear from his father when he was eleven. God sent him back home, right into that church only to discover, that the priest had died in a car crash around the same time he'd left for school.

But that wasn't the end. God told him that there were more then just the one, that all of those errant priests needed to be cleansed; non believers also needed to be shown that God truly does exist. So from there, Boaz began in the homeland of Jesus, in Israel. His travels took him everywhere, Not often being caught by officials. He never stayed in a city or country long enough to be found.

There were a few occasions where he priests would fight back which is where some of his scars came from. The ones on his cheeks, however, came to him in Turkey. He had killed a priest there, then was caught by the authorities. In stead of taking him to a regular prison, they took him to an underground holding cell. There, he was beaten regularly for weeks and when they decided to kill him they decided to have him bleed out from his mouth since head wounds bleed fastest. So, they cut open his cheeks completely from ear to ear and left him for dead above ground. A woman happened to stumble upon him, and he was hospitalized. He considered this nothing less then a miracle. Clearly, God still had plans for him.
