Description
Ildeon doesn't really look like the typical Varisian. While he has the olive-colored skin and black hair most Varisians posses he lacks tattoos, usually wears rather simple colored clothes and his hair is cut rather short. His family is said to have a pint of elvish blood from the time of the Shining Crusade and thus for a perceptive observer his blue eyes and very slightly pointed ears hint to this quite remote heritage.

Personality
While Ildeon isn't gruff or overly sternly, he is very dutiful and doesn't like distractions when doing his job.
That said, when he finds some spare time a few hints of the fabled varisian frivolity show even in him. While he still wouldn't do anything that could hamper his duties, such as drinking until someone falls down, he gladly joins in card games or drinks one or two ales with his comrades.

Backround
Born as the fourth son to a family of the landed gentry his youth, while still not being luxurious, was better than for most children in Ustalav, albeit short. As it was family tradition since the Shining Crusade, every able bodied son after the second was send to Lastwall, to join in it's watch over Tar-Baphon. So in the age of 9 he was send to follow his elder brother, his uncle Loriz and dozens of ancestors before them in defending the civilized world from orcs and undeads.
Once tested he was chosen to join the paladin order that was tasked with keeping the undead of Virlych contained, the same path that his uncle walked before him.
His elder brother Orlanz in contrast was chosen help holding the border against the orcs from the west.

Half a Year back now, Ildeon has become a full Paladin since, his uncle went missing leading a small task force hunting a group of vampires in Grodlych. Hence the message for his uncle that arrived about a week ago was delivered to him. In it Loriz was asked to attend the burial famed Professor Petros Lorrimor, an old friend of him that is known to have saved his life almost 20 Years ago. Now that his uncle is missing and most likely dead or worse, Ildeon believes that least he can do for this two great men is going to the funeral in his uncles stead. He asks his superior for leave and since Lorrimor was, despite his unorthodox methods, respected as an ally throughout Lastwall, they grant it and even ask that he offers condolences in the name of the whole order and takes all the time that is needed.
