Name: Araild, son of Beitris of the Falcon Company, Zealot of Sabidu

Age: 24

Province of Origin: North Peray

Role: Mercenary, Witchhunter, Scholar, Traveler

Companion: pygmy falcon named Craven

Traits: fierce, passionate, noble, practical

Gods´ favor: As a Zealot of Sabidu he's sworn into the service of Sabidu, the god of knowledge, duty and wisdom, the king of the dead. Unlike many of his fellow Zealots he holds the favour of Avizos, the god of responsibility, freedom and justice and the Messenger of gods.

Family: Araild's only known blood relation is his mother Beitris, leader of the Falcon Company. He has an older stepsister Caitir and an older stepbrother Para.

Childhood: Araild was born and raised with the mercenary group Falcon Company and thus spent a lot of his childhood travelling between the Moosir Empire, the Gopto-Talish Union and the Bertic Kingdom. After a change in leadership of the company, he was left in a temple at the age of 14 where he was schooled in the ways of Witchhunters.

Coming of age: Following the death of the previous High Priestess Maireia he completed his education under the High Priest Terenti and was, along with his partner Elgan, sent on a mission into the Kingdom of the Western Isles. Local religious tension however caused their swift return after merely two years.

Adulthood: Soothing ruffled religious feathers in the westernmost reaches of the Empire was briefly interrupted by a year-long exile in the Bertic Empire. Upon return Araild and Elgan were sent to the province on Molgia to investigate an increase in witchcraft reports. Elgan was unfortunately killed during the mission, after which Araild left his post and travelled to the province of Galugria in hopes of laying low before reporting back.
