[QUOTE="Verbatim, post: 2029418, member: 15549"] Okay, here is the concept I have so far for an inquisitor, but if someone else wants that role, I could switch him to a Consecrated Harrior just as easily. [b]Dathen "The Masked Judge"[/b] Within the ranks of the Silver Flame there is a sect of clergymen whose mission is to keep the purity of the faith intact, even if it means using the blessings of the Silver Flame to strike down those who claim to follow its tenets and beliefs. Called the Judges of the Flame, these priests and priestesses often live a lonely and dangerous life, as when a Judge arrives, it is very rarely seen as a good thing. Dathen Trament joined the ranks of the Silver Flame to escape from his past, as the young man was wanted for the murder of a merchant's son who had Dathen caught raping his sister. While it was clearly an act of defense on his part, Dathen knew that no magistrate would listen to the bastard offsprings of a tavern wench. Dathen took to the martial training easily and when the church began sharpening his mind as well as his sword, Dathen felt truly at home for the first time in his life. For six years, Dathen travelled where the church sent him, often volunteering for assignments that many higher ranking priests considered too dangerous for him, but each time a bruised and bloodied Dathen would return and as soon as his body would allow it, sometimes just barely, Dathen would volunteer again. Rising to the rank of Captain, Dathen was given a "resting" assignment aboard the mobile town of Argonth. After he arrived and checked aboard, Dathen tried to enjoy the duty for what it was, but downtime was not a concept Dathen understood well, but after three months Dathen's life changed. During a chance meeting when taking on stores, Dathen met a weaver woman and with a timidness he had not felt in all of his years, Dathen asked if he could write her from time to time, and when she said yes Dathen grinned like a young child. Dathen continued to write and visit her over the course of the year that followed and soon their relationship became more than platonic. While the church did not restrict their followers from starting a family, Dathen knew that the timing was wrong but he could not stop how he felt and was married to Breanna the following year. Asking to be transferred to New Cyre to help establish the church's presence there, Dathen's request was approved and he moved his wife, who was now with child, with him. It was a move that would change his life forever... Shortly after arriving in New Cyre, Breanna gave birth to twins girls and for a moment, Dathen's life was everything he had dreamed it would be. However, his happiness was short lived as he began to notice that not all was right within New Cyre's walls. Investigating a series of brutal deaths, Dathen began to realize that the killers were members of his sect. Rushing home, Dathen discovered that his wife had been slain and his children taken from their crib, and in a rage rushed to the barracks of the church, and into the Mockery's waiting trap. When the sun rose the next morning, the Silver Flame garrison was a grisly site. The once gleaming walls were covered in dark crimson streaks and the smell of death was heavy in the air. When the town militia did enter the building, they discovered Dathen, who was more dead than alive clutching his slain children close to him and speaking softly to them in his delerium. It would be the last time that Dathen would ever show emotion again... When he regained his senses, Dathen was reaboard Argonth and while they could heal most of the damage to Dathen's body, his spirit was another matter. Dathen was recalled to Sharn and after giving a full report of the events which had transpired, the Church offered Dathen a position with the Judges of the Flame, as his desire for revenge still burned brightly. Ten years later after accepting the position, Dathen has travelled to nearly every corner of the world in service to the church. He has killed men, women and children in his travels and his coldness has earned him both respect and fear by the church. He has taken to wearing an elvish death mask that he acquired on his travels, and although there are rumors as to where he got it, none have been brave enough to ask the deadly priest. [/QUOTE]
