Monty of Kinshan

**Monty of Kinshan** is a player character in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. He is an aasimar paladin of Pelor, and arrived in Barovia in search of the Curse of Strahd Party. He is portrayed by *Matthew Kok*.

 Personality

Monty is the image of the dutiful paladin; kind-hearted and polite towards friends and innocents, eager to seek out justice, and fully prepared to strike down any evil that crosses his path. He is especially eager to prove his bravery largely to himself, as he views himself as something of a coward for fleeing from the evil dragon Carnifex and incapable of working up the nerve to try and kill Strahd von Zarovich. Among his comrades though he is much more awkward at times, especially given that he is a relative late-comer to the rest of the party he travels with.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Hadrick Kainwind

When the two of them first met Hadrick was rather standoffish towards Monty, especially since he envied the paladin for seemingly being the recipient of Jolyne's affections. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up though the two of them quickly bonded and became close comrades in arms, and for his part Monty greatly admires Hadrick's commitment to justice.

### Ashley

While they are relatively new acquaintances Monty has been quite protective and encouraging towards Ashley. Upon learning about her in more detail, he has been constantly reassuring her that she will be able to find a way to get her wishes granted without falling into darkness and he has vowed to travel alongside her once they escape Barovia.
