Cortis Karano

Cortis Karano is a dedicated evangelist of St Cuthbert. He has a personal vendetta with the Church of the True Faith, considering them to be a blight on the honour of the gods.
== History and Personality ==
Cortis was born in the city of Freehaven, Altea, and is a member of the Grey Crusade (an organisation with similar goals to the Children of the Sun). Cortis was given direction from his Knight-Captain to travel north and deal with the insurgency of fanatical True Faith doomsayers, who claim that all gods are the children of one Greater God, and all those who would deny this are heretics. Cortis immediately obeyed and took ship from Altea to the Grey Marches, where he learned about the Church's growing size.
On one stormy night in the Silverpeak Mountains, Cortis discovered some of the True Faith burning people alive. He charged them at once, swearing vengeance for the fallen by the grace of St Cuthbert. However, Cortis was beaten to a pulp and tied to a stake. He would have burned had it not been for the timely intervention of Prince Damien's personal guard, who were returning from a council in Calenhad. Cortis was freed, and he travelled east into Eriabourne, determined to bring justice to the Church.
Cortis has been spending a lot of time with the Children of the Sun, learning about the Church and their blasphemous beliefs. Although Cortis can seem fanatical and foolish, he is extremely dedicated and has both conviction and charisma. 
== Skills and Powers ==
Cortis uses a strange mixture of speech, divine spells and melee combat in battle. He often uses magic to assist his allies, either by protecting them or by making them tougher and stronger. He wields a cudgel (as does his god, St Cuthbert) which is particularly harmful to undead. Cortis is not particularly hardy, but he is well protected and capable of resisting most mind affecting powers. Cortis is not very knowledgeable, using more common sense than information in his decision making.
== In the Campaign ==
Cortis visited the Bloodsworn at Widow's Watch in an effort to rally them to his cause. Although he joined the Bloodsworn upon hearing their goals (which he agreed to be noble), he believes that they should unite with both the Brotherhood of Brenna and the Children of the Sun and attack the Church of the True Faith en masse. Nonetheless, Cortis has proved himself to be a useful ally, aiding greatly in the battle against the aboleth of Lyrian Caverns and driving the sahuagin from the town of Saltcliffe alongside Mikael.
