Unnamed Noble Paladin

A male human paladin in chain mail beneath fine noble clothes, carrying a longsword, shield, and holy symbol of devotion. He has blonde hair at the sides of a bald head, a thick blonde moustache, and a scar crossing one eye, which is blind. His bearing reflects a minor noble upbringing, while his equipment marks him as a sworn protector of civilized folk.

Born the eighth child of a minor noble family, he grew up surrounded by servants, tutors, and the polished comforts of high society. Since inheritance would pass to an elder sibling, he left home as a youth to earn a place of his own. He joined the Lords’ Alliance, whose members stand united to protect the safety and prosperity of civilized folk. His noble birth still opens doors: commoners accommodate him, nobles receive him as an equal, and he can usually secure an audience with a local lord when duty demands it.

He assumes common folk love him for his kindness and generosity, and he behaves as though their admiration is already proven. He speaks to servants and nobles with the same confident warmth, gives freely when he can, and expects gratitude without noticing when it is forced. In formal company, he sits straight, names his lineage without prompting, and treats every room as a place where he has a right to stand.

He has an insatiable appetite for carnal pleasures and regularly mistakes indulgence for a privilege he has earned. He is careless with flirtation, coin, and promises made in the heat of the moment, even when doing so risks his reputation or the trust of his allies.

He believes it is his duty to protect and care for those beneath him. His loyalty to his sovereign is unswerving, and he serves the Lords’ Alliance as both shield and representative of civilized order. He seeks deeds worthy of his name, hoping to prove that a younger son can earn honor without inheriting it.

It is his duty to protect and care for those beneath him. He sees rank as a charge rather than a license, though his habits often reveal how difficult that distinction is for him to maintain.
