**Egbert** is a dragonborn paladin who is seeking atonement and absolution from an unknown event in his past that barred him from his paladin sect.

## Background

Egbert grew up as a human stable boy for six long years until he was taken in by The Noble Order of Le Dragon D'or and started to take on the physical attributes of a dragon, as well as the powers any dragonborn may have.

After becoming a member of the paladin sect, Egbert lived in the town of Mistmire for a time, until an unspecified event which got him shunned from the community of paladins and started his quest for absolution.

It is unknown what Egbert looked like as a human child.

### Life with The Oxventure Guild

Egbert met the guild in a tavern during the events of A Spot of Bother, hoping that tagging along with the group of adventurers would put him in a place of opportunity to find the absolution he was looking for, though years down the line, this has proven incredibly false with the guild consistently joking that he has gained negative atonement points.

## Personality

Egbert can be a pious individual when he wishes to be, though more than occasionally will forgo his religious beliefs if there is chaos attached to something the guild is doing, he is somewhat contradictory in that he wishes to spread the word of his religion to the masses, but also really enjoys bombs.

Despite this affinity for chaos Egbert is a kind person and a good friend to the guild members.

He has a friendly charm that lets him get away with more than some others.

## Appearance

Egbert is a Dragonborn with golden scales. He is of large stature, being second only to Dob in terms of height.

He claims to have taken on the attributes of a dragon, and tells that he was once a human boy.

## Feats & Talents

### Feats.

* **Blazing Fire:** Egbert's *Flame Breath* has the capability to incinerate human beings to ashes. In fact, his hottest flames are well over two hundred times the surface of the sun, clocking in at around 1,579,695.2 degrees Celsius.
* **Superior Reflexes:** Egbert has shown incredibly fast reflexes. In the adventure An Orcward Encounter*,* Egbert was able to react and catch arrows while running down a corridor with ease. Given this corridor was small enough that they had to be in a line to enter it, Egbert was able to react and catch them in under a hundredth of a second, continuously until he was buried in a pile of arrows.
* **Immense Strength:** While not on a "Dob" level of strength, Egbert is still incredibly powerful. He is capable of punching someone hard enough to send their head flying into the air, and can block the attacks of a Chuul without breaking a sweat, while these same attacks knocked Prudence into the air, nearly killing her. He was also capable of stretching Evil Dob's mouth open and shoving a bomb down his throat with relative ease.
* **Divine Smite:** Egbert is able to use one of his magic slots to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. During the fight with M. Channail Egbert used this ability in conjuction with his fire breath to defeat the evil druid.

### Talents.

* **"Expert" Bombsmith:** Egbert is capable of creating bombs relatively easily, although the quality varies.
* **Shield Surfing:** While Egbert is normally very clumsy, he was capable of putting a bomb under his shield and launching himself over a wall.
