About Jesail Ash

Jesail was abandoned at a young age due to his unusual heritage. He survived as a street rat for many years. During this time he met a young girl named Haleen. Halleen took care of Jesail and managed to keep him out of slavery.

After a while he began to show an interest in the local church that served Shelyn. Jesail was a fan of music and beauty. Shelyn seemed to embody that ideal. He felt the love of Haleen and believed that such love was worthy of praise. He became a devout follower and decided to help them root out the heretics that threatened the lives of good people. So he moved to be a trainee in the church. He lived at the church but he would visit Haleen often. She supported him like a good mother or older sister. Without her, Jesail may not have made it through the rigorous training it took to be an inquisitor.

Training to be an inquisitor for Shelyn was an interesting line of work. Shelyn loved all and was a strong supporter of such beliefs. Jesail hoped that he could live up to her ideals and protect them. He was a kind but stern man. He shows compassion to those he believes need it. He doesn't judge foes until after he has offered them mercy and if he can help it, he wont kill them. He would search out bad people and try and convince them through diplomacy to change their ways. If all else fails, he draws his crossbow to aid him. He also carries manacles and a club to help him deal with violent people he believes can still be saved.

This was how he handled sentient humanoids. Monsters were a different matter entirely. Jesail saw fit to slay any monster that threatens peace. The foes he hated most were abominations. He spent much of his time studying the different creatures of the world of Golorion and especially those around Katapesh. He would be able to take down any beast so long as it was a threat to anything ideal he held important so long as it was unreasonable.

Jesail also had a long lasting desire to someday meet his father. He knows of his heritage but not whom. He remembers his human mother vaguely who abandoned him so she could return to her family. He loved her still but felt it best not to cause her more trouble so he stayed away. He was curious as to what kind of person his father was. One day, he may meet the man. This was always an interesting dinner table topic for him and Haleen.

After a while Jesail started noticing that Haleen was acting strange. This bothered Jesail greatly. He was good at convincing people into confessing their sins but this was different. He tried and tried to help her but in the end it was all for naught. One day when he came to visit her, he found a note. His instincts that made him such a good inquisitor kicked in and he knew that foul play was involved. He set out on the hunt at once. He went through several resources, investigated every sighting and question anyone whom he suspected may have known something.

One day in a room at an inn, Jesail was playing a his flute when he had a vision. Kelmarane. There was a clue somewhere in Kelmarane. It wasn’t far. Jesail got up and went outside. On his way out he noticed a note on the outside of the inn. His funds were low but it looked as though there was a caravan heading out to a place that was looking for mercenaries. Though Merc was a job beneath him, he knew it was the best chance he had. He set out at once for Kelmarane to seek out a Lady Almah.
