|-|Basics=
 Size: Medium
 Gender: Male
 Age: 92
 Height: 5'10"
 Weight: 165 lbs.
 Hair: Mocha
 Eyes: Indigo
 Skin: Off-Cream
|-|Appearance=
 Standing tall and proud regardless of the circumstances, Seros has short, choppy, brown hair, carefully hiding the tips of his slightly-pointed ears. A narrow face and pointed nose leads to a broad chin, his features soft and slightly luminescent under the correct light. Were it not for the deep purple of his eyes, it would be very easy to mistake Seros as any other face in Rorn. His dress often fits his travels, though he favors cloaks and capes, as well as sturdy boots and thick trousers. Green and red are often featured in some way, shape, or form, though his outfits try to keep to more gentle shades of white to black, browns, and blues.
|-|Demeanor=
 Disarming in the softness of his voice and presence, it's sometimes hard to even notice Seros has entered a room. Once he begins speaking, however, the strength of his convictions are all too easily heard. A dedicated peacemaker, hunter, and soldier (in that order), this Inquisitor is fast to take on allies and even quicker to defend them within danger. However, his vengeance against betrayal can be rightly inspired, effectuated with a burning-cold precision. Outside of that zealous anger rests a calm, friendly man who would gladly lift a pint with comrades at the end of a hard day's work, only to quickly throw himself to his next assignment with renewed fervor.
|-|Background=
 Rornish by birth, the Aasimar called Seros Animus grew up within the 6th District of Rorden, and as such was exposed to the sharp discipline of military life early on. As many of Rorn, he took his path through the military, showing courage enough to be made a junior officer by the end of his 5 year service, but ultimately deemed not fit for further advancement due to a lack of presence and authority. These comments, though seemingly benign, set a fire within Seros, driving him to enlist again and again to prove his mettle and worth to the land of living Saints. Each year brought more commendations, but the final word that Seros's talents simply did not lie within leadership. Nearly 50 years of his life had been used heartily by Rorn's Generals, and the Aasimar felt as though he might as well had become a basket weaver for all the good it did.
 The soldier would not take this as an answer, instead leaving Rorn to sell his blade to their on-again, off-again allies, the Irthians. The Mercenary Life started on rough waters as Seros sought a company that would take him in, but was turned away due to his inexperience in the "Frontier" as his fellow Rornish put it. Swearing by Firecast herself that he would prove his worth, he eventually was given his chance when he linked up with a small company out of Silverton given a general patrol duty near the Rhat'matanis border. Though the Westerners were nervous and told terrible stories of the Tesh and the horrid things they would do to their living (and dead) captives, Seros paid these tall-tales no mind. It wasn't until a Tesh scouting force was actually encountered in Irthos lands that an easy assignment went awry.
 The Silvertons, for their skill at arms, held their ground as nearly a quarter of them were cut down by eldritch arcane energies. When a pair of savage, hulking, animalistic creatures also rushed into the fray, laughing wildly as they ripped apart men and women with curved blades and their very jaws, even the brave of the Baronies fled for their lives.
 But not Seros.
 The Firecast had felled demons. She had toppled sorcerers. She had shown the power of mere mortals, of what the learned warrior was capable of. Those cackling abominations, those corrupted Magi, they were nothing that Seros feared. Fear lay in failure, in the constant rejections, in the inability to prove worthy in the eyes of the Saints; not in the growls and claws of some physical monster.
 Blade drawn, Seros charged into these terrifying enemies, horrors he knew as "Gnolls" from his many years of study in Rornish academies. He screamed at the Silvertons, demanding that if they were to leave him to die, they would tell all of Rorn of how the last Animus died - in valor. Upon running one of the Gnolls through with his sword and taking a harrowing blow from the other, Seros assumed death was close, but at least earned. What he had not expected was the sights and sounds of his stand had shaken his fellow Mercenaries from their terror, catapulting them back into battle. Surprised at the sudden change of fortune, the Tesh and their monsters were overwhelmed under a mass of steel and driven away from Irthos, pursued just far enough to make sure they could not return easily.
 Seros was treated quickly in the field and then brought to the nearest town for recovery, where word was spread by the Silverton Mercenaries of how one soldier stared down fire and ferocity without yielding once. Of note, however, was that one of the Gnolls had escaped, along with a decent size of his host. Whether their masters in Rhat'matanis would hear of this border skirmish was unknown, but Seros was certain that the their Occult leaders would be none too pleased. Would they come for him some day? He was uncertain, but for now, they had won a victory against them.
 For his part, the Aasimar tried to prevent the details of the mercenaries' story from straying too far from the truth, but ultimately it was the constant talk of how his bravery had inspired the rest of the troop that struck Seros with a sense of purpose and pride. That, then, was how he would serve Rorn, both at home and abroad. Before they parted ways, the Silvertons informed Seros of the vast opportunities in Venza and recommended that a soldier of his skill and courage make way to the Jewel of D'Oro Coast. He agreed to do so, but not before returning home to visit Rorden's Reach, isolating himself in prayer for a tenday in thanks to the Firecast, for he knew it was her guidance that kept him alive.
 He swore himself to her ideals: to learn about his enemies that they may be swayed or destroyed, and to always remain composed, no matter the situation. His blade would be guided by her hand, and he would become her instrument of the hunt within The Eastern Continent. Already he knew of worse creatures within the world, and of the men and women afraid to stand against them. Maniacal Fey. Devilish Fiends. Corrupted Undead. Demonic Warlocks. Worse enemies that his mere mortal perception could not conceive the horror of.
 Seros pledged to learn, and to teach.
 To show the people that Fear was the true Enemy, not these foes that bled just like them.
 And to show the Monsters that they would need to do better than Fear, for he was coming for them.
