Oh, I forgot to clarify Mordeth's relation to the blood of vol.

He is not officially a cult member, although he is a firm believer in the teachings about the divinity within, and his Crusader abilities are based on his faith in those teachings. Mordeth is somewhat unsettled by the undead despite his nationality and faith.

If Mordeth were to ever discover the truth of the leadership of the Blood of Vol, he would be horrified.

Mordeth is Lawful Good

Let me know if Mordeth is acceptable for the game.

If so, here is a little backstory:

Mordeth was born into a poor Karnathi family, and would have had a rather unremarkable life if not for a seeker of the Blood of Vol who took interest in his seemingly boundless potential and began tutoring him on the Divinity Within. By the time he was 17 and entered into the Karnathi obligatory military service, Mordeth could already perform impressive martial feats that fed on the divinity within himself.

After his first year of service, Mordeth had distinguished himself enough that his superiors decided to overlook his common blood and allow him entry into the Academy of Korth, where he trained in battle magic. After 18 months, Mordeth had mastered basic battle spells and had enough of a knowledge of the arcane arts to return to the field of battle. As fate would have it, however, the day of Mourning came just two days after his graduation, and the unit to which he was assigned was lost inside the Mournland.

Mordeth tried to join up with his regiment, but when he saw the Mournland for himself, he knew the truth. All of his comrades were dead. Now Mordeth is alone and unemployed and nearly broke except for the skills he learned in the military. He has decided to seek his fortune and the Divinity Within on his own.

So, my character turned out a lot different than I'd thought
