About Eleazar Corbackground:
Eleazar grew up his entire life in the harsh land of Ustalav, living by its strict laws of survival and absorbing its customs. Though ethnically Varisian, he does not identify with his more nomadic brethren and views himself as a Ustalvian first and foremost. Though not nobility, Eleazar Cor was born to a family of educated and moderately successful burghers in the Palitanate of Canterwall. His uncle Doram even served two terms as mayor of the town Tamrivena, where Eleazar grew up. His father (Eadric) and uncle (Doram) own a small, rather successful business, creating parchment and vellum for scrolls, codices, tomes, and other books. Eleazar was the third child to live beyond infancy out of four. He knew his mother only in his infancy, retaining glimpses of her sad eyes and smiling lips, but little else. When Eleazar was four his mother died due to complications of an infection which occurred after a herd of zombies fell upon the town. She was one of many who perished and his father re-married one of the widows of a childhood friend.
Graceinne, his only sister and the oldest of Eadric’s children by six years, perished only four years ago on the way to her wedding. The caravan was decimated courtesy of an Orc raid from over the Western border. Though saddened by the news Eleazar had never been close to his sister. In addition to his sister Eleazar had two brothers named Helm and Korv. Helm, his older brother and the chosen heir, is four years older than Eleazar and is a clever man and a hard worker, but in Eleazar's opinion he lacks creativity or vision. He is content with his lot in life and while he cares for his family he has no desire to do any more for the community. Of his three siblings, Eleazar was always closest to his half-brother Korv, who is five years his junior. Though he learned the rudiments of the family trade, Eleazar's destiny was always to be one of the learned priesthood. From an early age, his father and uncle encouraged him to take an interest in reading, indulging him by allowing him to look over the occasional prayer book or scroll left in collateral for a job. When Eleazar was eight he began his training at the local church of Pharasma. During this time of training Eleazar found himself prone to bouts of anger and bitterness. The few priests he trained under did too little in his opinion, merely reacting when the living dead or Orcs fell upon the town and its neighbors. He argued with his teachers that they could do more than just recording the deaths and performing the funeral rites. He also found issue with the idea that the people’s suffering was divine punishment for their misdeeds. He envisioned the church’s role as one of protection and guidance. He was beaten for his disobedient questioning and his family was warned he would be dismissed if it continued. Eleazar, at his father’s urging, kept his tongue but it only caused his anger to build up inside him. It was unleashed when during the year of his fifteenth birthday an unusual group of ghouls struck at the town at night and began abducting children. A professional scholar by the name of Lorrimor was brought into town to assist. Unwilling to sit by while an outsider helped, Eleazar abandoned his training and helped assist professor Lorrimor in tracking down the wretched creatures. Together with several other brave souls from the town they defeated and drove off the ghouls, though not without some casualties. The true purpose of the ghoul abductions was never discovered, but one of the creatures followed Eleazar back to town and attacked him and his family that evening. His father and Uncle were trying to convince Eleazar to return to the priesthood when the ghoul attacked. It was Korv that it found first. Eleazar rushed from heated debate with his uncle at the sound of his half-brothers strangled cry, but he was too late to save him. Eleazar hurled the fish oil lantern at the wretched spawn and nearly burned the house down, but ended its miserable existence. Scooping up his brothers body, he rushed to the church, begging the priests to return life to their brother, but he was told that this was the Reaper’s will and that Korv’s time had come. One of the priests even hinted that this might have been punishment for Eleazar’s disobedience and interference. Furious anger and vengeance consumed Eleazar and he left his home town determined to protect the people of Ustalav from the many dangers of the land. His travels took him to the county of Barstoi where he trained with the well disciplined militia and learned how to fight properly. He was driven by anger and vengeance, but it did not nourish him and he let his quest against the unliving consume him and run his ragged. He broke his leg hunting down a Worg that was terrorizing a riverside hamlet and was forced to return to his family home until he recovered. Though his relationship was strained with his father and uncle, they would not turn him away and he helped as best he could with the parchment business. In the course of assisting them he came across a prayer book dedicated to the enlightenment of Korada. The unique text captivated Eleazar and renewed his purpose. In its pages he found an inner peace and learned to forgive those he held bitterness toward. Meshing the way of Korada with what he still found meaningful in his fallen faith for Pharasma, Eleazar re-dedicated his life, not to vengeance but to protection of the people. When he got back on his feet he made the trek southwest to Ravengro where he had a long conversation with an old acquaintance – one professor Lorrimor. In the last year and a half he re-initiated his correspondence with Professor Lorrimor and even began the beginnings of a friendship, working with the professor to hunt down the undead scourge. It is to Eleazar’s great dismay that Lorrimor has passed and he has made the journey to Ravengro to properly pay his respects.
Appearance:
A young man with dark, hungry eyes. His features are strong and prominent, like those one would imagine on a senator or a military leader. Though he is not classically handsome, there is a rugged attractiveness to him. Broad shouldered and hairy, he tries to keep himself groomed, but his travels make it difficult. When maintained his dark brown hair is combed neatly and his facial hair kept to an elegant moustache. When unable, he'll sport a thick beard and chop his hair away in chunks if it gets too long. stats:
