- Scholar of the Hidden RecordSage
A life spent among libraries, monasteries, and archives has left him with a scholar's network of contacts and an instinct for finding answers in texts, legends, and learned circles. In practice, he can usually identify where to seek obscure lore, who might know it, and how to gain access to restricted knowledge.

Appearance
A towering human man with broad shoulders, heavy hands, and a steady, mountain-hardened stance. His face is calm but alert, with thoughtful eyes that seem to measure both people and principles. He wears practical adventurer's gear over a simple scholar's robe, and his armor is etched with subtle geometric motifs that look half devotional, half mathematical. When he calls on magic, the air around him swirls like a dark galaxy, flecked with streaks of color as if the night sky itself has opened in his palms.
Mannerisms
He speaks carefully, as if weighing every claim before it leaves his mouth. When thinking, he often traces invisible circles in the air with one finger, like mapping constellations. In tense moments he goes very still, then acts with sudden, deliberate force.
Personality
Patient, inquisitive, and softly spoken until a line is crossed. He treats every conversation like a chance to learn something true, and every cruelty like a problem that must be confronted. He is kind to the frightened, respectful to the humble, and implacable toward bullies, liars, and anyone who hides exploitation behind ceremony.
Ideals
Truth must serve mercy, not power. Knowledge is sacred only when it helps people live better, kinder lives. Faith should be tested by its fruits, and any creed that cannot survive honest inquiry deserves to be rebuilt.
Bonds
He keeps a battered field journal from his earliest studies, filled with sketches of constellations, medicinal notes, and arguments against the old temple's abuses. He will not let it be lost, altered, or used to excuse cruelty. He also feels a deep duty to protect isolated mountain and forest communities, because he knows how often the powerful ignore people who live far from the centers of learning.
Flaws
He can become insufferably certain when confronted with dogma, especially if someone tries to use faith as a shield for greed or cruelty. He sometimes treats people like riddles to solve before he treats them like hearts to understand, and that can make him seem distant. In battle, his fierce protective instinct can tip into recklessness if someone vulnerable is threatened.
Quirks
Background
He was raised where the forests gave way to steep mountains, in a household that prized endurance, silence, and stories told beside the fire. His family claimed old giant blood ran in their line, and it was easy to believe, because he grew large before he grew wise. The local temple welcomed that strength eagerly, then tried to shape it into obedience. Their teachings, however, were full of contradictions. They preached mercy while extorting the poor, purity while hiding rot, and divine truth while punishing questions. He listened, learned, and eventually walked away with a stubborn respect for the sacred but no reverence for hypocrisy. He turned to scholarship, then to experiment. In libraries and alpine observatories, in herb-gardens and echoing stone workshops, he studied the world as if it were a vast, lawful miracle waiting to be understood. His paladin's power did not come to him as a command from above, but as a pattern revealed, a moral force that could be tested, refined, and wielded. He now travels as a healer, protector, and investigator, carrying both a scholar's curiosity and a guardian's resolve. He seeks truths that cannot be bought, doctrines that can survive scrutiny, and a better order than the one that tried to use faith as a chain.
