Edmund Edmer was the Paladin of the party in The Curse of Strahd.

Edmund is around the average height for a middle-aged man. He has white skin along with black hair, mustache and beard. His typical garb is white armor with a red trim complete with cape over his chainmail.

## Personality

Edmund believes in doing good and wants others to do good much to their detriment.

He deals with some guilt over not saving another child. He also doesn't like going through doors because of PTSD.

Because of Edmund's past adventures with Eric, he know how to deal with dumb behavior.

## Early Life

Edmund had a friend named Eric and together they traveled the land. He lived his life in service to the church. In order to help him further he took up training to be a paladin.

Once he became a paladin, Edmund was tasked with... He worked with many people including a bard who played bagpipes.

He came upon a child in need of help but he did nothing.

One time, he entered a burning hospital to save someone, he could smell the burns on the children.

Once the Crimson Sorrow outbreak began, the village he was in began experiencing paranoia. The high priest of the village gathered the 'forsaken' as he called it, to the hospital and tasked every militia in town, including the paladins, to end the corruption. Everyone grabbed a torch and began burning the local infirmary. When the fires did their job, Edmund and several others entered the wreckage and found a burned necklace that was given to his little brother. The high priest blessed him and after that Edmund felt he didn't belong in the paladins anymore.

As Edmund was being evacuated due to the Crimson Sorrow, he grew unsure of whether he should follow orders or not.

## Abilities

He used a mace and a pair of short swords to attack. Like many paladins, he had a few healing spells like lay on hands and divine attacks.

He's also capable of mental attacks such as command or compel duel. He can also sense celestial, infernal or undead beings.

## Relationships

### Talice Tewin

Edmund takes note of Talice's nasty attitude and tries to coax her into being kinder. He gets resistance but he eventually gets her to try being kind.

When he lies to Jade, Talice is able to hold onto the lie to use for later.

### Salem Perdurabo

He does not like it when Salem raises the dead even if it is to help the rest of the party. Eventually he understands that one must cross a few lines to survive thanks to a talk with Salem but is still uneasy about certain boundaries. Eventually they come to an understanding that people do things to seek power and then often forget why they sought power in the first place.

### Warwick Windbow

Edmund didn't think much of Warwick at first but his opinion changed when he allowed Fletcher to die in peace. He eventually became a disapproving father to Warwick, giving him stern lectures whenever the changeling does something that does not agree with the rest of the group.

They do share an understanding about upholding their own morals though.

### Krik

Edmund has respect for Krik's bravey/obliviousness at times.

### Lord Fletcher

Edmund and Lord Fletcher don't interact too often other than being healers. However they do talk about following orders versus helping others.

### Jade Roderika

Jade and Edmund have a positive relationship. He feels like the two of them can balance the group between craziness and level-headedness.
