Damnation, Part 1:
It was on his sixteenth that Gressil learned the truth about his family. He was overhearing a conversation between his father, Arabus, and his uncle, Darius. They were discussing finances, the boy thought, but then Arabus let it slip that they were owned by Hell via contract their ancestor, Samael, signed to gain more prestige and wealth for House Arneste.
Hearing this, he confronted his trusted aunt Cassiel, a paladin of Iomedae, about it. She confirmed the man's fears, but as he fell into despair, she summoned the family imp, Sithonis, to tell him about his personal contract. Sithonis revealed that Gressil could escape damnation, but at a cost...
Redemption, Part 2:
...he must chose someone to take his place. He was horrified at this, and he swore he wouldn't do such a thing. Sithonis warns the boy he has till his last breaths to either convince a willing victim to take his damnation upon him/herself, or as he draws his last breaths he will be claimed by Hell. Vowing to do good and earn protection from Hell, Gressil devoted his life then and there to follow Iomedae, and to take the fight to the evils of this world.
Hearing of the Mendevian Crusades, he signs on with other Chelaxians and marches northeast to fight the demons there, hoping to serve Iomedae and there earn salvation.
Description/Personality:
Tall with a rather bulky build, he keeps his dark hair cropped short, puts black paint around his amber eyes, and has slightly elongated canines. His pale skin is a contrast to the rest of his appearance and demeanor.
He is a dark, brooding young man. Despite his new-found faith in the Inheritor, he is still deeply scarred from his upbringing by the Prince of Darkness' followers. Gressil prays daily to the Inheritor, asking for forgiveness and for salvation for not just himself, but his family as well.
