Carpus Parthalan

Born and raised by the Church of Iveriu, Carpas was trained in the Ayaten tradition of martial combat. He was inducted into the Comes Palatinus, the most recognized order of knights in Parnaak, at a very young age. Carpus's childhood was ordered and strict, he learned to use the sword and shield and how to fight as well as how to heal and bring aid to those who would have need of it.
He became fast friends with Nathor Albicoris, king of Sorrowgate. Nathor was assigned to him to assist in his pilgrimage into Gernaris to an ancient holy site of Iveriu. They were joined by Dargor Blazehatchet, who thought his family's ancient home was where the holy site was. Among them was a giantkin named Fustus Stonechyld who was good friend with Dargor and prayed for their prowess in combat against those they found in the mountains. They also took on two other adventurers, an elf ranger named Nahriel Whisperleaf who served as their guide in the mountains and a halfling wizard named Fiona Weatherfjord.
After their first adventure together, the group would reassemble when any one of their number would call for them in need. This would most often come from Dargor, who was constantly seeking his ancient home. Carpus served the Comes Palatinus above all else, but due to their desire to have their number go into the world and do good deeds, Carpus was often free to join him. In fact, above all others, Carpus joined Dargor on the most number of his treks into the wild Northron Mountains in search of the Halls of Fury.
The last adventure the two went on together was a request of Carpus to Dargor. He sought the remains of an ex-paladin and former member of the order named Samael Corson who was said to have died beneath one of the old cities of Gernaris at the hands of the Guild of Malebranche. He was a heretic, but he possessed relics of the Order that needed to be retrieved. It was there that they found a map of old trade routes dating back before the Halls were lost. The two called for the others to join them, because there was no question in their mind that they would finally find the Halls of Fury.
So it came to be that Carpus joined Dargor's pilgrimage to the Halls of Fury.
Roleplaying Notes: Carpus is sometimes stern, but he is a caring and wonderful person. His friends come before him in all things. It is why he is on this mission, in the hopes of seeing his good friend Dargor attain greatness. Carpus can take charge, too, and of all the members of the party is the most respected.
Dargor Blazehatchet: A good friend and traveling companion, Carpus has spent most of his time with this dwarf. Dargor is a whirlwind in combat, but he sometimes leaves himself open for attack and requires healing.
Fiona Weatherfjord: A mystical halfling with arcane power. She is plucky and jovial and really keeps the party's spirits up.
Fustus Stonechyld: Fustus is a wise old giantkin and an intimidating presence. He's a problem-solver and a door-breaker. But sometimes he is a bit slow to act compared to the firey Dargor, the fleet Nahriel, or noble Nathor.
Nahriel Whisperleaf: A peerless tracker and a cunning fighter. She is a very independent spirit and this often comes at odds with the group dynamic.
Nathor Albicoris: An old friend that has grown stuffy in his old age due to his rule of Sorrowgate. You are surprised he has taken a leave of his throne to help.
