Theoric is a minor character from [[Black Crusade]]. He is an elderly man whom lives in [[Birne]] and is a member of one of the [[founding families of Birne]]. As such, he is a [[witch]] and is in on the [[secret]] pact the founding families have with the [[fey]] of the [[Cineris Forest]]: [[sacrifice]]s in return agricultural prosperity. After the failure of this pact, he willingly allowed [[Marta Talliers]] to be used as a scapegoat as a witch that had blighted the crops.<ref name="Black Crusade p. 177-181">[[Black Crusade]] p. 177-181</ref>

Theoric was part of the mob that formed when Leonera returned from [[Perdition Hill]], a [[prison]] supposedly inescapable without black magic. After Diederic explained the situation (and back it up with some martial bravado), Theoric told the mob to disperse, before explaining the anti-witch sentiments that had taken over Birne.<ref>p. 126-132</ref>

During [[Sir Diederic de Wyndt]]'s investigation of the matter to prove Marta's innocence, Theoric [[concealed]] the truth about Birne's ill-fortunes. After the son of [[Silma Reveaux]]  was [[killed]] in an altercation with Diederic, Theoric advised caution to the grieving old woman against summoning woodland spirits for her revenge, but Silma refused and threatened violence against any whom stood in her way.<ref>p. 142-143</ref> After Diederic defeated Silma, Theoric pleaded with the knight to spare her. Diederic granted this request, but only after Theoric told him the true story of Birne's secrets.<ref name="Black Crusade p. 177-181">[[Black Crusade]] p. 177-181</ref>
