Jovial
Noble warrior to the bitter end; Jovial, servant of the Raven Queen, dedicated his life to preserving the sanctity of death. It was defending these ideals, that forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, as he was mortally wounded by the servants of Orcus while trying free the village of Winterhaven from their blasphemous grip.
He is survived by Kordell Thayko and Shibboleth 'Shibby' Sequitur who have both sworn to return to the kobold's lair, retrieve his body and avenge his death.
/ Tiefling / Paladin 1
He spent his early life living on the streets of Fallcrest being pretty much a street orphan, stealing food and the like. He was a happy outgoing child hence the name Jovial. For some reason he'll be forced into the care of the church of The Raven Queen, in some orphanage, maybe after being punished for a crime and the city officials are looking for an easy way to remove the kid of the streets of their city.
After a rebellious period of time trying to accept his new life in the orphanage, he finds meaning in the church and ends up taking the training to become a paladin. His training "paladinised" him a lot, causing him to lose his outgoing personality as he saw it as immature and not befitting of a paladin.
