Signet Ring, 30 gpHistory:    Richter Belmont, 21, comes from the noble house of Belmont in Suzail, the capital of Cormyr.  While his mom, Karyn, and his father, Trevor, own a smithy, they do not receive their income directly as they are employed by the church of Kelemvor.  While employed, the family always had access to the churches resources if it could be expended.  The Belmonts are very closely tied to a underground sect of Kelemvorites in Suzail.  While they have been involved in the community and have acted help others, people still fear the Belmont family due to their association with the god of the dead.  It may be the fact they devote their lives to studying and destroying the undead or it may be the family's long standing historical conflicts with Velsharoon and his followers.  When the community needs help with the undead, they go to the Belmont Family and even though the folk fear them, they are their only hope.  The family is generally treated with contempt but people still talk and are 'nice' to them because of the ocassionally a family member has demonstrated positive qualities and earned respect.      The Belmonts support Sthavar and the Princess Regeant.  One of Richter's relatives was a Purple Dragon before he passed on.  Combat has always been a regular part of the lives of the Belmont family.  Most adult members are veterans of some combat and martial weapons and training are common place.  While they are experts with most weapons, the Belmont family uses whips.  While mos familys have a patriarchy, the Belmont family has a Meritocracy.  That is where the one with the most talent rules the family.  As a child, it is taught to fight if it does not exhibit magical nature.  If the child can grasp the use of the whip, he or she is set to learn to master it and then become a paladin or cleric of Kelemvor, on the path to become a Hunter.    Richter has had a few interesting relatives.  Sonya Belmont was the first female Hunter of the Belmont Bloodline.  It is said she became a Paladin in the order of Kelemovor and she quested for a weapon to destroy a powerful dracolich.  Although she was never seen again, it is rumored among the family that Sonya did find a weapon powerful enough to slay undead.      Another relative was Ericc Belmont, a high priest of Kelemvor.  He didnt quite master the whip as all Belmonts do, but exhibited extraordinary magic from birth.  So Ericc was sent to a temple to Kelemvor where he grew and left to take care of a vampiric threat in Daggerdale.  He was never heard from again.    The last of Richter's ancestors was one, Simon Belmont, and a great omen was spoke about him.  He was to face a powerful vampire, Marquis du Valencourt and rise as his protege'.  When the family found out the prophecy, they sent him away into hiding and through an event of twisted Fate, he ran into the Marquis and was turned.  He was confronted by a young man, although its not known who, and a ritual was performed to give him his soul back.  Although the spell worked and was lost, the Marquis killed the young man and he, too, arose.  Simon had to know face this young vampire and his creator.  He fought them both and barely survived.  He sat on the temple steps to Kelemvor and waited for the sun to rise.  When the priest opened the doors in the morning, the wind was scattering the ashes to the four winds.    Growing up, Richter was taught at the church.  He learned about Kelemvor, Mystra, Velsharoon and the history and anatomy of undead.  He also learned how to speak celestial so he could speak to various clerics.  As a teenager, he learned a little about magick.  He didn't really like it that much because most magick, it seemed, was to prolong life and create undead.  He did, however, learn that Kelemvor's magicks tended to destroy the undead.  Richter understood that Kelemvor loved Mystra but it didn't explain how come Mystra and Kelemvor allowwed Elminster to live so long by prolonging life.  That just wasn't natural.  When he left the church, he worked at his family's shop, Belmont's Battlement, for a while and he learned how to make weapons.  The whip he carries, he made himself.      Richter's early childhood didn't hold much excitement besides watching his family work, learning at the church and listening to his father's tales of slaying undead.  During his young teen years, a local wizard had summoned and skeletons and zombies and Richter saw his father leave to fight them.  He took the whip he crafted and ran after his father.  Richter soon became surrounded by skeletons and in the distance, Trevor saw some young man being attacked.  As he rushed forward, the figure took out the 4 skeletons and to Trevors surprise, their stood Richter, a little bloody, but standing.  It was then trevor knew his son had mastered the whip and was destined to become a Hunter.    Richter's mom and dad (Karyn and Trevor) are both alive and well living in Suzail.  He is the oldest of 3 children.  He has a brother, Drake, who is 19 and a sister, Belinda, who is 16.  Drake has shown an affinity for getting himself out of trouble with the law and Belinda is training at a local wizards academy.  She has shown a great affinity for magick.    Karyn's mom and dad have passed on due to old age, but Trevor's parents are still alove.  His grandmother, Sara, loves to bake and has her own bakery, Sara's Delights, and his grandfather, Johnn, is a retired Hunter.  Richter has always loved listening to his grandfathers stories of the mighty undead and how he used to slay them.  Richter has an aunt, uncle and a cousin on his mom's side and on his fathers side he also has an aunt, uncle and a cousin.  His moms sister is named Rhea Morris and she is married to his uncle John Morris.  Their child his named Gregory Morris.  His dads sister is named Laura Belmont and she is married to  Charles Belmont.  Their son is named Zacharie Belmont.  As of late, Richter has been set upon by very deadly and mysterious circumstances.  The stalker seems to know Richters weaknesses and strengths.  He isnt sure who is after him, but he believes someone inside the Belmont Bloodline is after him.  He isnt sure what is going on but he is bound to find out.    Richter has loved one person.  A young man named Brandon Lecarde.  They were out together just hanging around when they were set upon by a few zombies.  Richter wasn't quick enough and the zombies set upon Brandon and he died before Richter could save him.  Richter tries not to get emotionally involved with anyone because he still feels guilty and responsable for Brandon's death.    During Richter's life, something happened and the path of his life changed.   He had a dream of Kelemvor guiding him to Peldan's Helm and told him to find his church to prove his worth.  He couldn't receive help from his parents, this was his test.  So he packed up, bade his family goodbye and left to Peldan's Helm.  Along the road he met a young Dragonslayer named Fiddle Skipstone.  Theytraveled to Peldan's Helm and there, ran into another set of people seeking shlter from the biting winter.  Now, an elderly elf named Elliar has asked him to clear out a temple of undead and another haughty elf talks about a mummy in the barrows to the south.  Richter knows his life is about to change.  Forever.</blockquote>
