Sean, once a knight in service to the king, now wanders as an exile, haunted by the night that changed his life forever. In his mid-thirties, Sean's once noble visage is marred by the scars of battle and the weight of loss. His hair, once a vibrant brown, now streaks with gray, and his eyes, a deep blue, often reflect the torment of his past. Clad in remnants of his knightly armor, now worn and scorched, he carries the broken axe, a poignant reminder of his failure to save his beloved wife, Elara, from the flames that consumed their home.
Sean's life was once filled with honor and love, serving the king by day and returning to the warmth of his wife's embrace by night. But the night Nerull, the dark lord, unleashed his horde of vampires and werewolves upon Sean's home, everything changed. As he tried to rescue Elara, the axe she had gifted him, symbolizing their bond, shattered against the beastly onslaught. Overwhelmed by grief and rage, Sean resorted to the forbidden blood magic Elara had taught him in their youth, a desperate bid to avenge her death.
Though he managed to slay many of the creatures, his confrontation with Nerull ended in defeat, and the king, fearing the dark power Sean had unleashed, banished him from the kingdom. Now, Sean's only solace is the hope of finding a way to bring back Elara, a quest that drives him through the shadows of the world, seeking ancient tomes and forbidden knowledge.
His unique trait is a habit of talking to the broken axe as if Elara could still hear him, a poignant reminder of his lost love and a testament to his enduring hope. As Sean navigates the world outside the kingdom, he faces not only the external threats of monsters and men but also the internal conflict of his own rage and the temptation of dark magic.
Sean's journey is fraught with danger and sorrow, yet it is his unwavering resolve and the memory of Elara's love that keep him moving forward, searching for redemption and a chance to right the wrongs of that fateful night.
