About Linark AbbadonIt is not upon me the task of judging. The gods will do that. I'm only promoting the meeting.
Background:
Linark is not known as a merciful Paladin. He had slain multiple evil creatures, but for every one of them he granted an option to redeem themselves. Of course, as the rumors tells us, those options were mostly impossible, and upon failure the creatures were slain.
But no one seems to know how he became that way. When he was young, living in the calm city known as Turtleback Ferry, he saw a mighty Paladin saving the city from outsider's invasion, and no single monster lived to tell the tale. He didn't realize, though, that the citizens life were at risk and thus the paladins could not spare time trying to arrest or incapacitate the evil beings. He saw only the hacks of sword, the blood, the fallen bodies of the creatures that were previously putting the city down. He believe that it was justice. And after it had ended he realized everyone was happy, cheering, congratulating those mighty warriors. It was obvious to him that he should become a Paladin, and he moved to Korvosa for that purpose. He trained for many years, but in many points he was lacking talent, except when it came to slaying evil beings. Although he learned that mercy was an ability everyone should have, but he didn't understand deep inside what it truly meant. He made slow progress, and eventually was ready for field work. But, in one quick job he was somehow affected by an Insanity curse. He got really confused by that and was afraid his fellows would kill him for that. Paranoid. He wandered throughout the region for 3 whole years, when he found a wandering cleric that healed him, without he ever realizing it. But the damage was already done. Having lived with the curse for such a long time made him almost insane, but he came back to the society nonetheless. Everyone though he was dead, but received him back with open arms, sending him once again to fulfill tasks. He tried to apply the knowledge he had gained in his training years, and for seven times he offered evil beings fair chances of redeeming for their evil acts. But all of those times his enemies were just trying to fool him, and for three times he got very close to death. Another two times the prisoners got away, and at the last try four innocents paid with their lives for his attempt to be merciful. He realized that he was not supposed to be merciful. He should be merciless, like the Paladins on Turtleback Ferry he once saw. He began being harsh at his punishments, and making offers that were almost impossible to fulfill. Deep inside he knew this behavior should bring him trouble someday, but he saw his hands as god's hands, an thus he could not stop until those hands fail for good. Linark Abbadon

A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range. Smite Evil(Su):

Divine Health: A paladin is immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases, including mummy rot. Mercy: At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, a paladin can select one mercy. Each mercy adds an effect to the paladin's lay on hands ability.
