"If they aren't enemies then what are they?! They target me from the shadows! They watch me when I sleep! They barrow the forms of children and the eyes of birds! They sneak closer while hiding their true form! So what are they?! No matter how many walls I build or how many traps I set they slip through and draw ever closer... the only way to protect myself is to make the fortress stronger. I have to keep building."  - Theo Sherman TTASB Volume 1 chapter 2.

Theo Sherman was a member of the Incarnates  and served under the leadership of Captain Hank Henriette duting the Patrian Civil War. He would often cower on the battlefield and was taught to prepare himself in order to calm his fear. After the war he lost his human form but was welcomed back home in Rougehill as a Norther Patrian hero. After a child pointed his toy gun at him, he became conviced some unknow enemy was trying to kill him. To protect himself from this unseen threat he built a labyrinth like fortress using the homes of the towns people as building material. Anyone who tried to reach to either reason or deafeat  him was killed by the manny traps he had set. Motivated by a fear of death, he tells Hank that he will have to keep expanding the fort until he can no longer feel fear. Beleiving his comrade to be too far gone, the two Incarnates fight until Theo is deafeated. Seeing that his life is about to end he tells Hank that he is no longer afraid of death. Hank executes Theo with a revolver filled with special bullets.

The fight between him in Hank differs between the manga and anime. In the anime Theo's human face can be seen before shifting into a full beast. In the manga he remains a full Minotaur the entire fight. In both versions Hank transforms into a Wearwolf to block Theo's ax before scratchings his cheeks with his wolf claws. In the anime, theo is taken down with a claw strike where as in the manga Hank uses his bomb lance using his Wearwolf agility.
