Out of the shadowy past of Inzeladun strode the greatest paladin in history, Han Dirgon. Legendary even in his own time, he was part of the team that consisted of Grindill the Archmage Sovereign, Killren the Arch mage, and Andar Tertictindan the High Priest of Zeus. He was born and fought during the Fourth Age, but, at the time of the cataclysm, was put into suspended animation and was revived nearly two thousand years later, toward the end of the Fifth Age. He died at the end of the Seventh Age.

Han's special mount was a rare white Indorian Warhorse. Han Dirgon had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was exceedingly handsome. He had a powerful voice and a positive attitude that was quite winning. People flocked to be around him. He had a knack for knowing what would cause him to lose his alignment (He should be allowed a Knowledge (Religion) check by the DM before undertaking an activity that would compromise his paladinhood - including using magic items that change alignment).

A native Indorian of pure blood, Han Dirgon's patron deity was Tyr. Han founded the nation of Ahmn, and instituted the Merchant Fleet of Ahmn, whose duty is to hunt down pirates. He founded an Order of Paladinhood, the Paladins of Tyr. As an Indorian, Han exemplified Indorian ideals of bravery. He was said to have been given a gift from Tyr: courage. This gift gives Han a +1 to all fear saves. During the Fourth Age, Han had a cohort named Gort (15th level LG Fighter). During the Fifth-Seventh Ages, he had a cohort named Hutch (17th level LG Paladin). He had 135 1st level followers, 13 2nd level followers, 7 3rd level followers, 4 4th level followers, 2 5th level followers, and 2 6th level followers.

Combat
Han Dirgon fought exclusively with the Holy Avenger, Palex Amir. He can cast divine spells, 4 first, 4 second, 4 third, and 4 fourth level. Each spell has a save DC of 17+spell level.

Smite Evil: He is an epic level character with the Great Smiting feat, which means his smite evil ability adds +42 to damage, which he can do once per day, with a +7 to his attack.

Lay on Hands: Han Dirgon can heal 154 hit points per day with this power.
