About Kertak

Appearance/History:

Kertak is an old, white haired man with a wiry frame and a weathered face from years spent working aboard a Zhentarim ship as little more than a slave. Although life was cheap, he managed to endure years of hard labor under gruelling conditions and found favour with Ilmater who blessed him with the ability to alleviate the suffering of his fellow indentured servants.

The raiding ship he was stationed on eventually fell foul of one of the Zhentarim’s many enemies and sank. Swimming to shore, Kertak found himself an unexpectedly free man late in life and began wandering as an itinerant priest. As he worked his way west across Faerun, he fell in with various adventuring companies for brief periods of time and has spent the last five years as a healer for a variety of adventuring bands, the most recent of which disbanded in Waterdeep, leaving him looking forward to the next phase of the life Ilmater has laid out for him.

Although he prefers a peaceful resolution to conflict where possible, he is not a pacifist, recognising that sometimes violence is the only option. When that happens, he looks to minimise cruelty as much as possible.

Having come to his faith in isolation, he is something of an outcast from the church of Ilmater and has very little in the way of formal education in the church's tenets. Nonetheless, he is a devout worshipper, albeit one who walks a different path than most clerics of his faith.
