CLASS ABILITIES/QUALITIES

Profile
--------------------
Appearance Tall, well muscled, and lean, with long, flowing dark hair, were it not for his overly angular features, enlarged canines and pallid flesh, Gareth would be a specimen of a man. That, and the strange tattoos that adorn much of his body. Despite his detracting aspects, he still could easily be considered darkly handsome. As such, it would shock many to know the true heritage of his blood. Almost six and a half feet tall, Gareth's presence is powerful and intimidating, yet he is able to slip away quietly and unnoticed when necessary.

Personality Gareth is a darkly charming and brooding young man driven by a fiery sense of vengeance, with a calculating patience to reach its end. For a brief time in his adolescence he took to drinking and narcotics, yet now largely abstains from heavy indulgences... it only gets in the way of his greater goals. He has loyalty to those few who stand beside him, and craves such connections that he has lacked most of his life. More than anything, he seeks to avenge those who have been wrongly harmed, especially by the undying.

Background His first memory is of the pain, the horrific agony wracking his body inside and out. 8 years hence, he is haunted by it in both his dreams and his days. His flesh bears the scars of the arcane runes carved into his body, and the necromantic magics have forever stole the color of life from his visage. But more than the pain, he remembers the voice, the monstrous whisper from the realm beyond seeking to consume his soul and take his form. And no face, but a skull beset with yellow glowing eyes atop a mountain of bones.

His second memory were of the faces of the men and women who bore him forth from his eternity of suffering. The Blades of Wrath, an adventuring company, have been battling a death cult for some months through the Sword Coast. Having finally found their sanctum, the band of warriors laid siege even as the cultists try to execute an unholy ritual. Atop a sacrificial altar at the center of the chamber laid the body of a boy, horrifically scarred and marked to be the host of their undead Lord.

The company fought valiantly and managed to disrupt the ceremony. Reaching the altar one of their captains, Alatos, found the body already pallid and cool to the touch. About to turn away, he saw the chest rise slowly. Calling to their priest, Bregard, that the child still lived, the holy man surged forward and managed to stabilize him. The boy I woke with a terrifying roar, then collapsed back into unconsciousness.

Over the next week the company tended to the boy's wounds, both physical and mental. He had no recollection of his past or origin, not even his name. The use of divination magic shed no light on the situation. So it was determined that though the child pose no obvious threat, it was best to keep him close and keep an eye on them. So the boy, who was given the name of Gareth after a fallen comrade, came to serve the Blades of Wrath as a page.

Mending clothes, cooking meals, hauling supplies and learning of their faith, Gareth was kept busy but always treated genuinely by the warrior Brothers. He grew fast and within three years, the brothers decided to take him on as a squire. Gareth exhibited a strength, stamina, and agility that few grown men could match, yet also had a keen mind to support it. He took well to training with the blade and armor, and his primal nature lent him easily the skills of a hunter and tracker.

For a time Gareth became quite rebellious and troublesome, plagued by the insecurities bestowed by a lack of past. The Blades were wise, however, and directed his frustrations into his faith in Ragathiel, the Lord of Vengeance. So Gareth learned the hunt their foe, the walking dead, and those who would use them as a tool. With his term as a squire complete, Gareth now finds himself with the new challenge: to go forth and prove himself worthy to be a brother among the Blades of Wrath.
