About Sir HaldernSir Haldern is a Shining Knight of Ioemedae who consantly travels with his Griffon mount, friend and confidante Jensal. Background:
While I was growing up as a younger son of a minor noble family in Taldor nothing could have been further from my mind than becoming a Holy Warrior of the Inheritor. I was a shallow boy, I enjoyed life far too much. While always a long way from evil I was a selfish fool far more concerned with my own pleasures than I was with helping others. Oh, my family made sure that I learned how to use a sword and ride a horse but I preferred to use the sword to roast sausages over an open fire than to fight bandits.
I imagine that you're all expecting me to now relate some tragic melodrama where I saw the light when my family was slain by bandits or the like. But no, the truth is more prosaic than that, and much more wonderful. I fell in love. With Sylvanta, a highly devout follower of Ioemedae. At first I just pretended to worship Ioemedae as a way of getting closer to her. But, little by little, I found himself transformed and embracing the doctrine of the Inheritor. The world was, in some ways, an ugly place and I could make a difference. In short, I grew up. Sylvanta and I are now happily married and have 2 wonderful, wonderful children. While I hope that I will live to see them grow up to become adults I cannot shirk my duty and the danger that goes with it. My greatest friend, after Sylvanta of course, is Jensal, the mount that My Lady chose to give me. He would gladly die for me and I for him. He is fierce in battle but gentle in nature. He is the godfather to my children. Appearance:
He is an extremely good looking blond man who appears younger than his age of 34, always dressed in the height of fashion and in gleaming armour. His allegiance to Ioemedae is very obvious, her holy symbol is emblazoned on his shield and armour. Personality:
While he is very much a paladin of Ioemedae with all that implies, he is also a man of great humour with a zest for life. He tries hard to lead by example and not to offer unsolicited preaching to others. There are vestiges of his childhood. He loves fine clothing, he hates to be dirty, he likes good food and wine. He likes a jest and appreciates art of all kinds. He is absolutely faithful to his wife although that doesn't stop him from politely flirting with women. He will try and solve conflicts without fighting if that is an option but has no truck with evil doers. If he thinks somebody can be redeemed he'll offer to let them surrender but if they refuse then their deaths are out of his hands.
