## History

The Viscount Pompous de Mimsy, or Pim to his friends, is a Knight in the Church of Light. He is the only son of the Count de Mimsy, Count of Isleton in Lake Country and stands to inherit it upon his father's death.

While Pim is set to inherit the castle and lands in Isleton, he spends little time there - preferring the family home in the upmarket area of Oaktown. Pim only ventures to Isleton for hunting with his family and friends.

Pim went to the best school in Oaktown, but didn't excel in his studies, preferring drinking and womanising as he got into his senior years. After school, his father arranged a place for him to train as a knight within the Church of Light.

While Pim does not even believe in a deity and is anything but holy, his fathers influence saw him rise quickly through the ranks to become knighted by the Bishop at an early age. However, if the Count had hoped his son may be straightened out by the influence of the Church, he was sadly mistaken. While Pim enjoys the armour and status of the position, he is not a great swordsman and does not pray at all unless forced.

Pim's most deadly weapon is his crossbow - which he became strong at due to the many hunting trips on his estate that he took growing up. Pim also hasn't calmed his womanising. He is well known in the shadier parts of Oaktown for drinking and shagging his way about - despite his holy orders. His dashing good looks, charm, status and wealth more than make up for his lack of intelligence and integrity.

However, Pim has recently fallen into disfavour with the Church. He was caught in bed with the daughter of the Bishop of Oaktown. The Bishop and the clergy were previously unaware of his ways and demanded retribution. However, they could not excommunicate him due to the Count de Mimsy's status and financial contributions. While the Count was disappointed in his son, he could not disown his only heir. The Bishop and the Count agreed that for Pim to redeem himself, he must leave Oaktown for a while and spend some time travelling the land using his skills performing good deeds and helping others.

To them it means Pim would become an adventurer. To Pim, it means a road trip - new taverns and new women. The only down side for Pim is he leaves his circle of influential friends - though he may encounter one or two in his travels for sure. But he needs to also be wary of those within the church and society that don't like his reputation for drinking and womanising too. Nevertheless, Pim must try and break away from name dropping his father and family wherever he goes as it does not mean as much outside of Oaktown and Isleton.

Pim will be accompanied by his faithful servant Boff, who doesn't say much and carries his gear, gets him drinks, parks the horses etc. But he is certain to meet new friends from more diverse backgrounds and ranks which may be more of the making of him than he realises.

Pim is relatively confident - even is he is not much on melee combat - but he trusts in his crossbow shooting. But he shouldn't be relied upon to run headlong into a situation - he won't want to risk his skin unless very confident of success, or there is no other option. He is an otherwise capable, albeit non-spiritual, Paladin.
