Summary
Isaac is an ex-Crusaia that left to follow his own goals, which at first was heroism, but have more recently shifted to simply living his (now infinite) life. He's extremely physically strong, capable of lifting and throwing vehicles and punching people clear through solid walls, even knocking down a building with his own two hands once. He is, in fact, one of the strongest PCs in Epic.
Isaac's often a cynical bastard and a pessimist, and does little to shield people from what he really thinks. He smokes, he drinks, he curses and gets in fights. Though his drinking has recently declined, he still carries a flask of Thuwadian Liqour along with him, as it's the only thing that still packs a punch to his unliving body.
Isaac also firmly subscribes to the notion that Sailerius is a dick.
History
V2: Enter Isaac
Isaac was pretty much TFSU-Isaac when he first was brought in, he had no real idea of what to do. He eventually joined the Crusaia, and sucked. But he was good enough to become a general, so that's cool. Around this time, Isaac had a serious grudge against Sailerius who would pretty much troll him as hard as he could due to being much stronger, and more-or-less being the antichrist. Isaac watched him die and return at least three times, each time somehow finding him again. Even though Sailerius is APPARENTLY dead for good, Isaac is still firmly convinced that he'll be back one day, and he'll be ready. One day, Isaac decided to return to college. So, he did.
V2: Dark Jesters Saga
And then the Jesters happened. Isaac was apparently selected for abduction, which called him out of his studies and back into battle. Before that happened though, he was recruited by Rudaiga, alongside another Crusaia named La'an, to join The Exalted. In Heavenrise, he was given a quest to find a powerful sword that would aid him in the fight... unfortunately, once Isaac reached the jungles of Banivia to find the sword, he discovered that it had been already taken by some treasure-seekers. And even worse? He was lost. Really lost.
He was lost for a whole goddamn year. So he doesn't really like Banivia anymore.
V2: Another Black Arc
When Isaac returned, it wasn't long before he was thrust into the bullshit again. About two days after returning to the UP, who should show up but Sailerius Motherfucking Oak, taking Isaac with him to a secret base and telling him that there was a real bad dude named Clay, and he wanted Isaac to kill him.
Isaac's response was more or less a flat "What."
All rage at Sailerius aside, while training with Rudaiga, it started to dawn on Isaac that he wasn't a very good swordsman. So he started to work on what he was born to do: Punch things. Not long after this, someone killed Clay for Isaac, saving him a big headache.
V3: Misc.
Longtime friend of Isaac from his Crusaia days and BURNING HERO FOR THE NEW GENERATION Nathan Cobalt got in contact with Isaac, and proposed that he join him as a SUPERHERO, an offer which the now-aimless Isaac accepted. At some point, while trying to protect an experimental, highly volatile power source from a madman's grasp, he grabbed onto said power source with a bare hand. The current surged into his body, fusing with it. The energy manifested itself finally as a pair of massive powerfist gauntlets, which have since become Isaac's signature weapon.
V4: Fucking Bees
Isaac woke up one day with two years missing, and discovered that he and Nick were in an alternate universe. That didn't stop Nathan from roping Isaac in to helping him found the Superheroes Guild though.
At one point while fighting alongside Siliya, both she and Isaac were nearly mortally wounded. She leapt on Isaac, feeding on his blood, but allowing some of her own to fall in his mouth, effectively saving his life and turning him into a Vampire. He despised her for it at first, but then eventually thanked her for saving him, and has since learned to live with it. The change still had a degree of moral and mental impact on Isaac, causing him to forgo the title of Superhero, however he still shared a shitty apartment with Nick.
Their other roommate, a schizophrenic shapeshifting solipsistic sociopath named Michael or Streea (Depending on the day) one day brought home six lovable street urchins, prompting he and Isaac to seek out a new residence for them to all share. Their search ended up revealing a drug lord's mansion which was under siege by the police. Isaac and Michael strolled in, demolishing the opposition and claiming the mansion, and the large sum in the vault, for themselves. The three (plus the six street urchins) now reside in said mansion.
A mysterious figure calling herself Beekeeper has begun stalking Isaac, invading and clouding his mind, bringing up horrible images and even dominating his actions. Isaac has since lashed back at her, even successfully killing her once, but he knows a Sailerius when he sees one. The last straw came when Nyogotha put Isaac's mind in a lustful daze, causing him to attempt to rape Rosalie, whom he had feelings for at the time. This drove Isaac into hiding in the Svaldic mountains, to get away, as well as to train. Atop the mountain, he met Earth, who helped train him to shield his mind against Nyogotha's assaults. After a few days, Isaac received an invitation to a tournament in Little Handora, which he won, gaining him the title "The Dragon Of Purgatory", as well as the loyalty of two Handoran Yakuza named Rikiya and Daigo who regard him as their boss and follow him.
Upon his return to the UP, Siliya proposed that they open a business together, an idea which Isaac eventually decided he was up for. The moment was interrupted, however, by an attack on Isaac by several Vampires, who sought to kill him and his friends due to him being an "aberration" (A vampire created without asking the elders). Isaac and Siliya decided to stick together to face this threat, as it was as much her problem, being the creator, as it was his. Isaac raced back to Svaldon to make sure Rosalie was safe.
Unfortunately, in a blind fit of rage upon hearing about the attempted rape a week ago, Rosalie's brother Marcel set out to kill him, eventually making a deal with Nyogotha and becoming a Muckraker. He destroyed Rosalie's house and nearly killed her in the process, leaving to find Isaac and exact his revenge. Isaac returned just in time to see Rosalie's house in ruins. He was devastated.
A few days later, Isaac, along with Micheal, Siliya, Gin and a few others managed to stop a demon from regaining his old body, sealing him away. Shortly afterwards, Isaac saw Rosalie again, and though he was relieved at first, he then quickly fled, fearing that she still hated him for what had happened. She found him in a cafe, and explained to him the events that had transpired with Marcel. She revealed to him that she was entering the Battle Royale to chase after him, and left. This sank Isaac into a deeper depression than before. However, thanks to the help of Elentra, Isaac was able to overcome it, and resolved to join the Battle Royale to help Rosalie. Not to protect her. To help her.
As if on cue, to lighten the mood, Jolene Ketelsen met Isaac in the cafe, having ordered some reagents from him earlier. She asked him to test out a potion for her, which he did. However, what he didn't know was that the potion was Essence of Venus, which immediately turned Isaac female. She was shocked at first, but it quickly passed as she grew accustomed to her new body. She didn't quite hear that it was reversible by drinking another one, and decided that she would resolve that matter another time, considering the more pressing matters.
Soon after, Dez launched an attack on Isaac's mansion. After a brief scuffle, Isaac took Dez aside and proceeded to feed on, and "count the sheep" with Dez (while still female). While at first, her mood was improved, it quickly took a turn as she began to question her gender identity due to Michael (or Streea's) mockery.
Isaac went to Battle Royale, died like a bitch. Shortly after reviving from death, the once-again man went into isolation.
V5: Present Day
Isaac returned to the city, having finally cured himself of his vampirism after an arduous journey in the Svaldic mountains. Shortly after returning, he discovered that the mansion was blown up (by probably Streea), and used the money he didn't spend on making the potion to rent an apartment in Downtown UP. Shortly after arriving, he was hired by a mysterious man in a suit to find and kill Cordelia Malaise, however upon tracking her down, he realized he was being played by his employer, and would be killed afterward. Taking Cordelia's advice, and the advance payment for the hit, he's currently in the market for a new apartment. Maybe in the AA or something.
Oh, he also decked a Wendigo. It was pretty awesome.
Seth, Aaron, and Janell Series
In Seth, Aaron, and Janell Save the Universe, the SAJ Epic Universe's Isaac joined up with the group formed by the Manly Trio, believing they were going after Edge. He was disappointed to learn that this wasn't the case.
