<p>Aldaara Drower is a paladin of Iomedae. She is a member of a secret Paladin sect known simply as Benevolence. It is a female-only Paladin sect who holds all of the codes of a normal paladin of Iomedae, with a few additions. Paladins of Benevolence believe that men are corrupt by nature. Too often are they drunk with power, or think with their 'lower head'. One of the codes of Benevolence is that it's paladins remain vigilant for these corrupt men, and do what they can to stop these men. They understand that not all men are corrupt; indeed, Benevolence gets along very well with male followers of Iomedae, Sarenrae, and Erastil. However, they are wary first, and warm later. </p>
<p>Aldaara was born into this sect – they must be, otherwise they cannot be taught unbiased why men are a problem of Golarion. It sounds counter-intuitive, but most women who seek Benevolence do so because they have been wronged in some fashion by a man, and not because they realize when men are truly capable of. Mothers willingly give up their children for the cause, relinquishing all ties to the child, probably never to see the child again. They do this so that the children can serve a greater good, as there is no greater honor (in most eyes) of being a Paladin. </p>
<p>Aldaara is much of your stereotypical Benevolence Paladin, a female chauvinist who follows the code of her order to the letter. Her low wisdom represents her closed-mindedness. However, the code of Iomedae supersedes the code of Benevolence, she will not hesitate to save an innocent man, nor even allow one she sees as guilty of abusing their power as a man a chance at redemption. She simply keeps a watchful eye for the sins that men are destined to commit. Unfortunately, this sometimes leaves her blind to the atrocities that women can commit, just as horrific as any man. The fallacy of Benevolence.</p>"We do not hate the man, we simply do not trust the man."
