Background:
There are paladins, and then there are paladins.
Born to the House of the Edefelts, Christopher van Edefelt is one of the latter. Tall, well-favored and handsome, it seemed clear that he was destined for great things- Indeed, ever since his birth, he lead a charmed life, pampered and protected as the only scion of a noble family. Despite the intriuge and courtly behaviour that was his lot in life, he never quite fit in amongst the decadence and decaying grandeur of the nobility...Brutally honest and morally upright, he couldn't come to terms with the sophistry, the hypocrisy of those around him.
-One night, not long after a huge black stallion emerged from the mists, matters came to a head. Perhaps it was some trick of Fate, or perhaps some Higher Power was really watching; Either way, Christopher left home that night, one step ahead of the eerie fog that swallowed his lands, his family, his ancestral home.
...That was the end of everything, for him. Alone, bereft, Christopher travelled to the city of Lucine, parleying what little assets his family held into his training; Guided by his moral compass and social conscience, the wayward noble found employment with the Guards of the Watch.
Now in his mid-20s, Christopher is perhaps one of, if not the most feared enforcers in the city. While his handsome face and perfectly courteous manners are enough to make women sigh, his actions are utterly remorseless and chilling- He abides strictly to the letter of the law, and believes in the dealing of swift and immediate justice to all who deserve it. In fact, even to the other Guardsmen, his righteous zeal is more than a little disturbing; More than once, he's forced confrontations with desperate criminals, preferring to slay them in 'self-defense' or while 'resisting arrest', rather than taking them into custody.
While his actions may qualify as 'police brutality', there is, in fact, method in his madness; The long arm of the Law is notoriously slow in Lucine, and the worst scum can evade final judgement through a minimum of effort. More than once, he's been forced to allow the guilty to walk- Even worse, he's sometimes been used as little more than a meat shield for the tax collectors, rousting the disenfrancished and the poor.
If anything, Christopher is rapidly approaching a crossroads in his life; He's straying from 'Good' to 'Law', simply because he's finding it increasingly difficult to reconcile the differences between the two conflicting choices- And who knows where this will lead?
Personality:
Outwardly calm and pleasant, Christopher van Edefelt is a charming young man; He's a devastatingly effective speaker, able to quickly and amiably approach almost anyone. Usually clad in his glamered Full Plate, most people can't tell that he's wearing armor until it's too late; Furthermore, he wields his bastard sword with consumnate skill and strength, rendering him an incredibly dangerous fighter.
Generally, Christopher prefers to act as his conscience directs him, quickly falling back on the letter of the Law when he can think of no other solution- Sometimes which happens on an increasing basis, in these uncertain times. Fundamentally a Paladin at heart, he's very much an extremist when it comes to smiting evil and injustice...And thus far, his powers and his judgement have never failed him. He's utterly relentless in prosecuting those who, in his opinion, 'deserve it'; Worse, as he never, ever lies, every word from him carries an incredible amount of weight.
His mount, Thanatos, is perhaps his mirror image. While it does have Christopher's 'best interests' at heart, it is extremely fond of mocking his confusion and occassional powerlessness- Thus, he rarely utilizes him, preferring to keep Thanatos safe and quiet within a stable.
