Tepest

A tall, imposing human with pale skin and sharp features, Sir Dain Havelyn wears heavy armor adorned with symbols of the Inquisition. His longsword is always at his side, and he carries a heavy shield emblazoned with the emblem of Mother’s Light. His eyes, once bright with conviction, now hold a shadow of doubt, and his lips often taste of blood when he prays. He moves with an unnatural grace, sometimes appearing to have two shadows in the flickering light.

Dain is methodical and precise in combat, driven by a sense of justice that is now clouded by uncertainty. He is haunted by his past actions and struggles with the morality of his mission, often reflecting on the lives he has taken in the name of righteousness. He is deeply conflicted, torn between his loyalty to the Inquisition and the dark truth of his own existence.

Once a celebrated holy knight of the Inquisition, Sir Dain Havelyn was a warrior whose blade delivered justice to witches, heretics, and fey-touched abominations. His faith was unshakable until a fateful night in the Withering Wilds, where he was mortally wounded by a witch. Instead of dying, he awoke among his dead men, transformed into a Dhampir, with a pale reflection and a craving for something nameless. Now, he grapples with his new existence, haunted by doubts about the righteousness of the Inquisition and the nature of his survival.
