Background:
Dr. Dario Westone is a former professor of Religious Studies at the University of Egorian in Cheliax. A native of Cheliax, he began his studies under the direction of Professor Abnius Hershire, a senior and very well-respected researcher at the university. Professor Hershire shared Dario’s interest in religious history. He also introduced Dario to what he called Field History, conducting research not just in books, but out in the world in ruins, tombs, and tracking down bits of history in out in the world. Dario took to this immediately and began a series of papers for the university documenting various practices of the major religions over time. This included the change in the worship of Asmodeus from before Aroden’s death to after. Unfortunately, the Church of Asmodeus did not look kindly on these publications and began to increase pressure on the young researcher. Dario, however, quickly found himself under Professor Hershire’s protection. The Professor used his influence and connections in Egorian to shield his young protege and allowed Dario to continue his work.
Two years ago, disaster struck. Professor Hershire was out on an expedition and became trapped in a ruin flooding with water. He never made it out. With his patron gone, the University cracked down harshly on Dario. Ultimately, he was forced into an “Indefinite Sabbatical” and all his classes and research removed from the University grounds. Dario left the University and Cheliax to continue his work elsewhere. He continues to catalog the world’s religions, hoping to create a complete text.
Description:
Dario Westone is a slim Half-Elf with short hair, standing about 5’8” and 135 pounds. He has a quick wit and generally an easy going attitude unless he’s debating an academic subject. He usually dresses in brown breeches and a leather jacket though he tends to favor blues as well. He moves with a natural grace and his smile is easily disarming. As an academic, Dario usually isn’t seen with weaponry, but on excavations and explorations he is known to regularly carry a sword and several daggers about him.
