| Appearance:
| | History : |
|
| |
|
| An unremarkable man, standing at a rough 5'10 to 6 foot.
| | 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 face is unshaven and worn, lips chapped and his eyes sunken.
| |
| What is remarkable after this, however, is that Mathell despite his haggard appearance maintains some fleeting attractiveness. His pale green eyes hold a sharp, to-the-point look about them and his figure is well trained with a swordsman's accustomed grace.
| |
|
| |
|
| He exists and resides within his armor.
| | 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. |
| Black platemail adorned with skulls and symbols of his god, Kelemvor, Mathell is most and generally only comfortable within the safety of his dark raiment.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| To his side lays prominently displayed the jewel of his possessions and the prize of his adventuring life. The Blade of Final Rest, a potent enchanted bastard sword, it serves as his utmost tool for undead hunting. Mathell's preferred occupation.
| | 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:
| | 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. |
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| An orphan of uncertain origins and cause, Mathell remembers very little of his childhood outside of the temple. A shunned street rat for the earliest portion of his life, it remains a mystery of how he survived until being adopted into the Kelemvorite church at the trifling age of six.
| | 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. |
| An incredulous meeting between the boy and a passing Doomguide in the outskirts of Neverwinter City, led to the beginning of Mathell's life in faith.
| |
| Awe-inspired by the priest's valiant words, gentle touch and [i]heroic[/i] outfitting, an impression was cast into the child's mind that would not soon leave it. An eager acolyte thereafter in a temple along the northern Swordcoast, Mathell proved to be an odd example of Kelemvor's faithful.
| |
|
| |
|
| When misfortune struck outlying hamlets in way of disease surrounding his first temple, Mathell watched in morbid appreciation as his mentor and fellow acolytes saw to playing both sides of the spectrum. To soothe the pains of one marked as a survivor, and skilfully end the existence of another considered to be a lost cause.
| |
| A marring, learning experience for the acolyte.
| |
| As sickness was slowly culled, a considerable threat was made in it's place.
| |
| Kelemvor's faithful, slowed by their lack of numbers and caught outside of news' ways for too long, left the over viewing of neighboring graveyards to less respectful hands. Incompetent or uncaring keepers saw a terrible turn as worries of illness had begun to die in their homes. Undead, mortified and angered by improper burial and neglecting services, rose to haunt their resting places.
| |
|
| |
|
| When news reached the small, out manned temple, the tale of said undead had far escalated past it's true turn. Much in need of a messenger to request the services of another temple, potentially a stationary Doomguide someways out, Mathell quickly volunteered for the task.
| |
| Fourteen at the time accompanied by a fellow trainee, he left his temple's somber halls with dreams of greater escapades filling his mind.
| |
| They have not left to date.
| |
|
| |
|
| From his first time as a messenger, Mathell quickly found the road suited his tastes better than the simple everyday lifestyle of a priest.
| | (( Related forum posted story : http://www.sundren.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13357 )) |
| When the chance arose for him to accompany a wandering cleric of the temple he had previously requested aid from, he leaped at the offer.
| |
| Nearing twenty three now, he has continued the lifestyle of a roadside wanderer and devout of Kelemvor in that way. From a messenger to Undead Hunter, he until very recently shunned the common day tasks of his faith for more interesting pursuits. Many wonder when reality will catch up with the young man's dreams of glory and conquest, as he shows few signs of catching up with it.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Character:
| |
| | |
| Faith speaks for the entirety of Mathell's being.
| |
| Faith in his god, Kelemvor, faith in His judgment and the uttermost faith in his own ability to dispense it.
| |
| Striking many as a reserved, uninterested character, such is surprisingly not true. Though often taciturn in his dealings with others, Mathell holds an overwhelming desire to prove himself and increase his own realm of influence.
| |
| He does not hesitate to speak out, and passionately so, should it offer some gain to himself. A gain he fully considers as being one to his church in whole.
| |
| A selfish often vain outlook on the world as considered by others, Mathell prides himself however on his selfless character and stalwart actions against those who oppose his faith. A sign of immaturity at it's best, there exists however some truth still in his own beliefs towards himself.
| |
| He would, for instance, gladly sacrifice himself for the betterment of his own temple.. But then he would all the more so gladly sacrifice a dozen others for the same.
