	~~Appearance~~:		History :

	~~A youth warped by the unnatural magics~~ of ~~undeath and~~ the ~~sight of dying at every turn~~, Mathell~~'s features cast~~ a ~~hollowed~~, ~~almost indifferent caste to any expression he makes.~~		One of the more unusual stories in Sundren, Mathell was known for his heroic actions as a Doomguide of Kelemvor, and later for his rallying of the Myrkulite cultists through out the valley.
	~~His cheeks are tightly wound inward~~ and his ~~eyes carry heavy bags~~ of ~~fatigue beneath them~~.

	~~Though some may remember the former Doomguide~~ as a ~~relatively wholesome figure, Mathell has been prejudiced in casting aside any holdings to physical allure or warmth. Perhaps~~ in ~~efforts to make himself more akin to~~ the ~~great death~~ he ~~serves~~, he ~~has simply grown to neglect~~ the ~~needs~~ of his ~~body~~. ~~His muscular exterior slowly subsides into~~ a ~~famished~~, ~~unclean display. His nails have been allowed to grow out oddlong, dirtied~~ with the ~~grime of his necromantic works~~ and ~~study. The same is true of~~ all ~~but~~ the ~~most basic of hygiene~~. ~~Both~~ his ~~hair~~ and ~~beard have become a ragged mop~~, ~~allowed an untidy growth~~.		In his time as a Kelemvorite in the valley, he was best known for his now near legendary duel with the vampire Clive Tarsus, in which he handily defeated him calling on the undead slaying powers of his deity, with the Hands of Mundus as his audience.
			To a lesser extent, his work with the Triumvirate and Tormite Paladins was one well noted by all those knowledgeable in the order's affairs. Specifically his armoring of three man Paladin teams with enchanted silver swords and the slaying of the infamous Syran the Heretic's blood daughter, Kara.

			More recently, and as such, more commonly connected to his person has been the attempted murder of the Sestra militia Captain, Cirion Reliun; a particularly vicious border fort raid and most importantly, his rallying of the Myrkulite forces through out the valley.

	~~Background:~~

	~~Once of~~ the ~~most devout order~~ of ~~Knights in service~~ to ~~Kelemvor~~, ~~the current God of Death~~, ~~Mathell served in Sundren~~ as ~~such~~ for ~~quite some time.~~		Months after his sudden shift from Kelemvor to Myrkul, Mathell turned himself over to authorities not far from the Sunderer Gate, renouncing the Lord of Bones to all present and defeating his own necromantic escorts just after.
	~~He was reputably well known~~ and~~, by most cases, well liked~~.		The Ilmatari Paladin, Secalia Amiolasi, has been made as the undeniable catalyst for his second shift in faith, though the actual details concerning their connection and Mathell's choice to leave Myrkul are scarce.

	~~A special kinship with~~ the ~~Triadic Knights~~, ~~and~~ the ~~Tormite Paladins~~ in ~~specific earned him an honorary place in the Arbiter's Alliance.~~		To this day, it remains a mystery what caused the now faithless priest to abandon either Kelemvor or Myrkul, nor why he so readily chose to accept the heavy verdict of a life spent in prison, where he continues to reside today.
	~~He remains the only Kelemvorite in Sundren history~~ to ~~have ever held such a position~~.

	Over the little more than a year he stayed in Sundren, Mathell became known as a beacon and headstrong representative of Kelemvor's interests, especially those in regards to the destruction of unlawful undead.
	His zealous nature and forward drive earned him the gradual respect of even the Hands of Mundus, which called upon the Doomguide's service on the odd occasion to privately deal with wayward members of their order.

	~~What caused his eventual breaking from the Kelemvorite church remains a matter of debate, and to many Tormites and Triadic Knights a bitter memory indeed.~~
	~~What is known beyond a doubt now, is that Mathell holds the Lord of Bones, Kelemvor's predecessor in office, as his one sovereign god.~~

	~~The war between the Kelemvorite church in Sundren and the Myrkulite forces has only escalated since this abrupt turn.~~		(( Related forum posted story : http://www.sundren.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13357 ))

	~~Character Personality~~:

	Many adventurer and Knights may recall when Mathell first arrived in the Sundren valley, and made himself known to all as Kelemvor's most faithful. The warping of his mindset and personality have never been fully explained, though those closest to him have always suspected the constant skirmishes against the Children of Colibrus and the Dark Advent weighed too heavily on the Doomguide's mind.

	~~What he is now, for certain, is twisted. A bitter distaste for life and a secret longing for death make Mathell an experienced and powerful madman.~~
	One of the few, if only servants of Myrkul to possess the depth of knowledge he has on the dealings of the Triumvirate, Arbiter's Alliance and especially the Kelemvorite church, his parting has been a considerable blow in the loss of intelligence.
	His devotion to Myrkul is inexplicable in it's sudden depth, replacing the entirety of his ambition and drive to serve Kelemvor. Those that have had the chance to speak to him since his turning can detail the collected, well-spoken personality he has always had, changed only by the zealous nature of which god he followed. Considering the dark depravity of the Lord of Bones, Mathell's inner being has taken a great fall. Whatever damage he received to his spirit and mind alike, it is unlikely it will ever heal in the service of this returning god.



	~~Significant Relationships~~:

	Formerly a close friend of several Triadic heroes, Templars of Helm and even the odd Hand of Mundus, Mathell forced himself into the inevitable conflict with each of them when siding with the Lord of Bones.
	~~Ironically, once his greatest nemesis and rival, Clive Tarsus has become a frequent comrade due to their forced services with one another on the field~~.

	Though out of all the former comrades the ex-Doomguide may claim kinship with, surprisingly, his respect for the scholar Aerick remains undaunted by the growing hostility between their respective allegiances.

The young Doomguide lives by the strength of his faith in Kelemvor, and the tasks he performs on his behalf. As a Knight of the Eternal Order, this commonly equates into the hunting and complete annihilation of near-to all cases of undeath, and those who conjure them. An obsession with no end, Mathell is a zealot with the words of his god as his only moral compass.
	While this ~~is comforting~~ to ~~all who follow Kelemvor~~ in ~~same~~, it ~~makes him~~ a ~~ferocious~~ and ~~somewhat unreasonable foe~~ to ~~face~~.		The raw passionate hatred he poises against all undead, including those otherwise accepted by his church, such as Undead Scriveners of Jergal, or Baelnorn of Sehanine Moonbow are under equal threat from Mathell's drive as a frenzied vampire or unintelligent zombie. While this stance has potential to create no end of trouble for his church, the matter has carefully been avoided by the young Doomguide's inexperience in such meetings. In the case of a battle pending with such beings, he has always found himself distracted long enough to let the subject in question escape or a greater threat arise.

			Timely intervention it seems, still comes to his aid.

			While a strenuous word from a superior in the Order or a temple-head could potentially dissuade some of his misguided enthusiasm, such has yet to be seen.
			This is undoubtedly largely by Mathell's efforts to veil his desire to battle such delicately-discussed cases from the larger church.


			However, there exists still two sides of his chosen faith.
			For all his exuberant passion on the field and the great fervor in which he lays undead to rest, Mathell could be equally well known for his practiced, sincere tending to the dead and dying. That he is not is again, largely by his own abrasive personality in displaying the one before the other.

	Remarkable to many, and in great contrast to his unpleasant appearance, Mathell is known to be quite the public speaker. His voice is a deep, genuine tone with a pleasing ring around each word. His words themselves are carefully considered and always spoken with the most extravagant of tastes.

It is however commonly respected that such is a shallow face, as it is shared knowledge a Doomguide stays only where needed.

	~~Cecania Coraline: A former Templar of Helm's Waterdeep clergy~~ and ~~now~~ commonly ~~considered~~ the ~~Sundren church of Helm~~'s ~~Triadic representative~~, ~~Mathell considers Cecania one of the few genuinely trustworthy citizens of the valley~~.

	~~Edward, House~~ of ~~the Triad: Luther Quen~~'s younger disciple, Edward and Mathell get along surprisingly well. From their great amount of time in sparring together and the frequent battles they've weathered, they exist as a strange, but blossoming friendship between two distinctly different churches.		And Mathell has every intention of ridding Sundren of it's need for his presence.
