Sean, a man of thirty-five winters, bore the weight of a tragic past upon his broad shoulders. His fiery red hair, often tousled by the wind, and his matching beard, trimmed yet wild, spoke of a man who had seen the world's cruelties firsthand. Once a knight loyal to the king, Sean's life took a dark turn the night Nerull, the god of death and darkness, descended upon his home. The deity's malevolent presence filled the air, and in a cruel twist of fate, Sean's beloved wife was trapped within their burning abode. Desperate to save her, Sean wielded the axe she had gifted him, only to watch in horror as the weapon's spike shattered upon striking the unyielding force of Nerull. Thrown back by the god's power, Sean could only witness his wife's demise amidst the flames.
In the depths of his grief and rage, Sean turned to the forbidden art of blood magic, a skill his wife had taught him during their courtship. Fueled by vengeance, he confronted Nerull, but the battle was lost, leaving Sean broken and exiled from the kingdom by the king's decree. Now, with nothing but his grief and the remnants of his shattered axe, Sean wanders the lands, seeking a way to confront the darkness that has consumed his life.
Sean's unique trait is his unwavering determination, a fire that burns as fiercely as his hair. Despite his tragic loss, he remains a man driven by a desire for justice, not just for himself but for all those who have suffered at the hands of darkness. His journey is fraught with conflict, from the internal battle against his own despair to the external struggle against the forces of evil that continue to plague the world. Sean's story is one of loss, vengeance, and the relentless pursuit of redemption in a world that seems to have forsaken him.
