Titus, a young half-orc paladin, stands at an imposing height, his broad shoulders and muscular frame hinting at his orcish heritage, yet his eyes, a deep, thoughtful brown, reveal the human side of his lineage. His skin, a mottled green and gray, is crisscrossed with scars that tell tales of his harsh life on the streets. Titus's hair is a wild, unkempt mane of dark brown, often tied back to keep it from his face during battle. He wears a suit of battered, yet well-maintained armor, a symbol of the old priest's faith that he has carried forward. Around his neck hangs a simple pendant, the last gift from the priest who raised him, a constant reminder of the kindness he once knew.
Abandoned as a child, Titus grew up navigating the unforgiving streets, learning to fend for himself until the fateful night when Father Alaric, an elderly priest, took him in. Under Father Alaric's guidance, Titus discovered a path to redemption and purpose through the teachings of the paladin's code. However, their peaceful life was shattered when bandits, led by the cunning and ruthless Sarya, broke into their sanctuary, seeking relics rumored to be hidden within. Father Alaric was killed in the attack, leaving Titus to grapple with his grief and rage.
Driven by a burning desire for justice, Titus vows to hunt down Sarya and her band of thieves, not just for revenge, but to prevent them from harming others as they had harmed him and Father Alaric. His quest is fraught with challenges; his orcish appearance often leads to mistrust and hostility from those he seeks to protect, and Sarya's intelligence makes her a formidable foe, always one step ahead.
Despite these obstacles, Titus's unwavering resolve and the skills he honed both on the streets and under Father Alaric's tutelage allow him to slowly close in on his enemies. He forms alliances with other outcasts and those who have suffered at the hands of Sarya, building a network of support that aids him in his quest. His journey is not just about vengeance but about finding a new purpose and a way to honor Father Alaric's memory by helping others.
Titus's unique trait is his habit of reciting prayers under his breath before every major decision or battle, a ritual that connects him to the teachings of Father Alaric and steadies his resolve. As he continues his pursuit, Titus faces internal conflicts about the nature of justice and mercy, wrestling with the paladin's code and the rage that threatens to consume him. His journey is one of growth, as he learns to balance his orcish heritage with his human upbringing, striving to be a beacon of hope in a world that often rejects him.
