Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobitron" data-source="post: 1824067" data-attributes="member: 25479">Alain CaldwallowCaspian male, Paladin of MorrowBackground: Born in Caspian to a family with a long history of scholarly occupations, Alain's father was a lawyer serving the highest bidder. He represented many a criminal before the judges of the Church, and it was a great source of shame to Alain, even as a child. Ever a devout child, he nonetheless shocked his father by joining the Church immediately after school, serving Morrow by advising clergy on legal and political matters. He worked in the Church for nearly 20 years with little impact on the lives of Morrow's faithful. One night after another long day of boredom, Alain had a dream calling him into more direct service, and he became a paladin of Morrow the next day. Now Alain brings Morrow's justice to the people daily and helps spread the good that only He can bring. The Caldwallow name has a vile reputation in the City of Walls amongst thieves and evil-doers, even though he has not progressed far within his new path. His fellow Morrowans respect his choice to take the difficult path of the paladin, which has assisted him in his dealings with the Church. Alain is a valuable asset to the party, with his skills in bureaucracy, diplomacy, and deep knowledge about religion and law coming in handy. Alain has long served as a criminal investigator for the Church, and came to Corvis to help Cygnaren officials look into the arson case that brought the Cathedral to cinders. He has found little information in the month he has been in the City of Ghosts, and while the Church gives him a small stipend each month, it has not been enough to keep his investigation going. He joined Pendrake with hopes of doing some good at the University and still be able to keep a sharp eye out for the arsonist.Appearance: Alain has the look of a lawyer rather than a champion of Morrow. He has pale skin and a thin physique that comes from years of scholarly pursuits. His face shows his maturity more than his bearing, with hard wrinkles around his eyes. His gaze is steely and serious, and that combined with his weapons and the glint of a chain shirt is the only indication that more than a mere accountant approaches.About this character: Alain is a quiet and serious man, with a simple manner of speech. His voice is cultured and concise, and he displays faultless courtesy to everyone he meets. He has an even temper that is hard to crack, even during tense moments. Prone to long thought before taking action, Alain is often considered "boring" by his companions. He lives the life of a paladin to the letter, giving away his share of the party's wealth to the Church and never partaking in excess of food or drink. He views his new life as a new chance to help people, and seeks to repay Morrow's grace whenever possible.
