About Ser Demlan Hemlyth

Character Sheet: Hosted on MediaFire

Personality: Ser Demlan Hemlyth has always been a champion of justice for the downtrodden and weak, even as a young child. Born into a house of minor nobility, Demlan spent his free time sneaking out of his family manor to share what wealth his father permitted him with his less fortunate friends.

Now, Demlan is an even-minded young man who can brook no injustice against those who cannot defend for themselves, with either his martial training or his knowledge of the law.

Despite this, he is not foolhardy and will not pick a fight against superior forces and will find other ways to assist those people he wishes to defend, typically through the donation of funds but there has been more than one occasion where he has doffed his armor and rolled up his sleeves to help with hard labour.

Description: Demlan is not the most handsome man alive, but he would be considered above average. His frame is quite muscular, trained through years of martial combat and he is fully capable of using this muscle to his advantage. Typically, Demlan will be seen with his well-polished armor and well-maintained weaponry but will remove these accoutrements of war in diplomatic situations.

Background: Ser Demlan Hemlyth is the second son of a wealthy family in Andoran. Before the revolution, his family were minor nobility but they had only been raised to the nobility a few generations beforehand. They weren't as insular as other noble houses and quickly caught wind of the coming trouble and were amongst the first noble houses to switch to the side of the revolutionaries.

They lost some of their holdings, but compared to the other houses who had fought back they came out relatively unscathed.

Demlan has always been a generous soul, often sneaking out of the family holdings with his pocket money to share amongst his less-fortunate friends. His path to becoming a Cavalier begun when at the tender age of fifteen, he came across some local bullies harassing an old man. With a sudden swelling of courage, he stepped in front of the old man and demanded that the bullies account for their actions. They laughed at him and went to beat the pair of them when the old man suddenly exploded into action, rapping them on the head and shoulders with his quarterstaff. Between Demlan's fists and the old man's quarterstaff, they sent the bullies packing.

The old man introduced himself as Gvaneth, an Oracle who followed Andoletta otherwise known as Grandmother Crow. Sensing a kindred spirit, the old man spent his last years training young Demlan in martial arts and honing his desire to assist those who could not assist themselves.

Now, at the age of twenty-three, Demlan has been travelling the Inner Sea for a year and found himself on the outskirts of a small village called Falcon's Hollow. Travellers told him that it is not an overly pleasant place to visit, run with an iron fist by representatives of the Lumber Consortium. With steely determination, Demlan has set his sights on the small town.
