Kalvin Eliassen's page

Kalvin Eliassen is a human male in his late 30s. He has tanned skin that is beginning to show his age a little. He has greying hair that he keeps short. He generally wears his scale mail with a blue and white robe over it and carries a scimitar that has a copper hilt wrapped with a red cord. He has a wooden ankh that he wears on a leather cord around his neck, as well as a few tattoos on his arms of various design that incorporate ankhs and suns.

Hailing from the outskirts of Korvosa, Brother Kalvin Eliassen was the third born child of a pair of somewhat prominent merchants. Being the youngest child he knew that he would not inherit the business from his parents and wasn’t very interested in it anyway. He had always felt a calling to help those who were less fortunate than himself and one day found his way into the local temple of Sarenrae during a sermon about how those less fortunate than oneself should be helped and evil should be fought in any form. This sermon touched Kalvin deeply and he began regularly attending services and do anything he could to help at the temple.
The head priest, Father Khair, of the temple took notice of Kalvin’s attendance and budding devotion and took Kalvin under his wing, teaching him of Sarenrae’s ascendance to godhood and introducing him to The Birth of Light and Truth, the holy text of Sarenrae. Kalvin began to help lead services and eventually became a low level priest in the temple. He found that he was good at treating peoples’ illnesses and wounds, becoming a healer in the community.

Kalvin began to feel that he was not doing enough and had more to offer. He approached Father Khair and discussed it with him, “Father, I’m feeling lead by Sarenrae to leave here and do more in the world. I just don’t know where to start, where I could do the most good.” Father Khair replied, “My son, you are doing much good here, but if you are feeling lead to leave then I would suggest heading toward Absalom and joining the church there.” So Kalvin bid his family goodbye and joined a caravan toward Absalom. During his journey he trained with the caravan guards with the scimitar, the weapon of Sarenrae, and also assisted in guarding the caravan when beset by bandits or beasts. Kalvin lead services and did his best to keep spirits up during the journey.

Once he arrived in Absalom he found the church and asked what he could do to be of most assistance. It happened that a contingent of clergy and paladins had discovered a large cult to Rovagug and he was tasked with joining them to destroy the cult. He served well, squashing the cult and also healing those with him who were injured in the fighting. Since then he has assisted in more battles against the darkness and forces of evil, leading to a life of adventure and exploration.
