Actual Appearance: Sarus has a frail build and face with sharp features, he has eyes that go from blue to green around the rim, his hair is black and straight. He was often seen wearing a tooth around his neck. (Sarus doesn’t know but this tooth is in Sabat’s possession.)

Class: Paladin of Zervomnis (Vengence path) Favourite Weapon: Long/Bastard Sword What’s his deal:

Sarus used to be a librarian, working in the Library of the church of Servomnis in Mikhal. He became a librarian after he was saved from the streets by one of the priests. He was good friends with a Soldier called Sabat for most of his life and eventually, after some regrettable events, he died and found himself stuck inside said friend’s body. After this he became a paladin, now having a body that would be fit the job. Together with his friend, they decided to start traveling to find a cure to their problem and to give Sarus the chance to start experiencing life as a real paladin.

Why did Sarus become a Paladin, how did he experience it? Sarus became a paladin after finding himself stuck in Sabat’s body. Being stuck in it gave him a chance to truly be the person that he wanted to be. A protector of the people. He only became one after he found himself in Sabat’s body because he “wasn’t fit to be one” or so he has always been told and had always believed those who told him. He has always been rather frail and not quite as strong as he would have hoped to be. That is why he hasn’t pursued this path before. The process of becoming one was tricky, with the continuous switching off who controls Sabat’s body.

He first started out with stressing out about what is happening and asking for help at the church of Zervomnis. After this he tried to keep training at Sabat’s position in the army, to hopefully get some training which he needed and to maintain Sabat’s normal schedule to not raise any suspicion. Thinking, hopefully, he could find out more about his situation. After getting a few days of training he decided to pursue this older goal of his, to become a protector of the people as a paladin. Right before he made his oath, he found out that Sabat was however still in his own body at times. Giving him the moral choice of either pursuing his dream or trying to keep up the show by pretending to be Sabat. He has chosen to become a paladin in the end, though. Hopefully, this would give him the chance to actually see his friend again. However that may happen, he will pursue this. Why did he leave to become a mercenary? Keeping up the lifestyle of a member of the cavalry was pretty undoable. This hopefully gave both a way to earn some money and keep an interesting lifestyle. Sarus also hopes that he gets the chance to protect those in need during his travels as a mercenary. What was he like when he was a kid? As a very young kid he had nothing to worry about, he was very upbeat and happy. This lasted until he was 8 years old. This dark period in his life that lasted a year made him see the grim reality of some things. After he got rescued by a priest of Zervomnis though, he wanted to reach out and do the same to people. Greet them with a smile and do his best to help out anyone. What was his family like? His father was a loving and warm person that would always take his time to bring a smile to anyone. He was a leatherworker and usually made small things that people used in their daily life. His mother however, wasn’t quite the charming person as much as Sarus’ father.
