He ended up a coastal raider. After his ship was attacked by those resisting the raiders and he fell into the sea, apparently to his death, he was found by locals washed up on the beach being guarded by a walrus. As followers of this coastal god, they took this as a sign and nursed him to health. During that time, he learned to love those people, abandoned his evil ways, and joined the priesthood.Soon after his calling brought him to the Southlands, which is where the campaign took place. He was a lot of fun to play. A guy who was dedicated to good, to teamwork, to the kind of bonds you have among ship crews and adventuring companies, but with a deep sense of both what evil people are capable of (having done it in the past and feeling shame) but also how they are capable of change. This led to some fantastic scenes and he was great in combat.I remember once the group being guests at a dinner where I was certain the host was the bad guy. My instinct was to topple the table and attack, but trying to fit in with my Southlander companions I held back to learn their more reserved ways and have patience. Which led to him sneaking around the house at night (which he was bad at*) to figure out what was going on and nearly dying in the process. Luckily, the one other member of the party he told he was sneaking off, heard the commotion and came to the rescue. But it turned out we were probably better off having attacked at dinner. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />* Yes kids, it is possible to have fun having your character try stuff they are bad at and failing!</blockquote>
