Raswar Shaxus

Raswar Shaxus is a player character in the Chronicles of Frostfire campaign.
==Description==
====Physical====
Raswar is average in height and much thinner for his species, with wiry muscles and close to no body fat. Not that anyone would notice as he is rarely seen not wearing his full plate armor, which is kept polished but full of repaired dents. He also wears a black hooded cloak with tattered edges. His shield however is kept in immaculate condition and bears the symbol of Tempus on it's front (an upward facing sword surrounded with flames). His face is gaunt from endless practice and overworking himself. But his youth still shines from his eyes which have white iris with black sclera. Due to frequent use of lay on hands, Raswar has a distinct lack of scars except for his right eye which was ripped out and replaced. Now covered with an eyepatch also bearing the symbol of Tempus. 
====Personality====
As a result of being raised by war priests in a time of peace, Raswar is eager to find a fight and earn glorious victory. He frequently pushes the party to open up about their personal battles so he can help them fight. 
==Biography==
==== Early Life ====
Background: Acolyte 
Raswar was born from an egg found abandoned outside the gates of the fortress temple, Abbey of the Sword – a holy site built on the location where Tempus fell to earth during the time of troubles. Raswar's given name was marked on the basket, but his family name was from his adopted father, a golden dragonborn who was a teacher at the abbey. From the age of three, he entered the clergy and soldier training. He took to his teachings as easily as breathing air. He was mentored and trained by Temparius Sendar (gold dragonborn), a well-scarred and decorated veteran. 
His eagerness and dedication saw Raswar rise through the ranks quicker than most, and at the adult age of fifteen he had earned the blessing of his god and been declared a paladin. However, he had yet to prove himself. No wars had been fought close enough during his training. So he set out to find one, not knowing just how much he was about to bite off.

EPISODE 2: In northeast Faerûn, Raswar and Enialis are outnumbered by Tiamat’s forces on land and air. Each of them confronts a different unexpected challenge. As they prepare to mobilize their army, General Shaxus chats with his former mentor Temparius Sendar, who won his freedom from the Warrior’s Rest after supporting the attack on the Githyanki castle (Raswar’s special side episode). The combined armies of Thay, Thesk, and Rashemen face them; mages, cultists, demons, duergar, kobolds, wyverns, and other conscripted cutthroats... Raswar leads from the back of Veyros, battlehorse of Tempus. While Enialis is otherwise engaged, Raswar begins to wail on a balor before Arkhan the Arisen appears! Arkhan bests Raswar in combat, rips out Raswar's eye and replaces it with the Eye of Vecna, and leaves him alive in the wreckage of the battlefield...
EPISODE 7: After the council meeting, Raswar takes Judgment aside and tells him about his encounter with Arkhan. Judgment explains that Vecna, a lich who ascended to godhood, was be-handed and be-eyed by his general Kas. Judgment and Sylvira sealed the hand away in Celestia after the Sideshow Slashers took it from Arkhan in Avernus. Raswar must now use the Sword of Kas, his only chance to defeat Vecna and remove the eye without destroying his soul. As Raswar astutely guesses, the sword is missing. It has lost its form, but if found can be reforged into a Holy Avenger with help from an angel.Judgment: “You are fortunate, Raswar, because you have strong faith in your god. It is unmatched. Powerful deities shield you. You will only succumb to Vecna should you choose to do so.” Later on the party's airship, Raswar uses the eye to assess the party and notices extreme, mysterious changes that only he can see. He calls them out one by one. For starters, the celestial Amalia is too radiant for him to look at her directly.Raswar: "You look TERRIBLE. I can barely look at you." 
Amalia: "You asshole, I just had a baby 3 days ago! I miss our long distance friendship."An aspect of Jon is separated from his body, and tethered to Amalia. Vahera is cursed with cold runes. Basil has ouroboros symbols in both of his eyes. He attempts to discuss these changes, with mixed success. He then steps away to commune with Tempus. ("I’ve set up the little shrine, which is generally my weapon stabbed into the ground. Sorry about your ship.") Raswar does not hear a response from Tempus, only the distant sounds of war. A quick word to Bahamut also goes unanswered.
EPISODE 9: As night descends upon Helgabal, Jon and Raswar head towards the suspiciously antisocial Warlock Knights camp to look for Ivor Shairnan, their leader. Captain Martinez gives Raswar and Jon intel as they leave the city – basically that the warlocks are sketchy, and that King Dragonsbane himself has yet to be swayed to our cause. At the encampment, Raswar and Jon intimidate the guards and are led to the central tent to wait for Ivor's return. Raswar detects a magically-erased note: “To (redacted), We are prepared to enact your plan at the joust tomorrow. The Witch King will rise again. From, (redacted)"
