Quinciferus Luperior Augher

Quinciferus Luperior Augher, known more commonly as Redmane, is a Firbolg Fighter and Sorcerer currently involved in the exploration of the continent of Ahlus.

He travels the realms seeking forgotten knowledge in the name of the Lantern Lord, acting as a beacon of his justice upon the mortal plane.

## Appearance

A towering mountain of fiery-red hair and steel, Redmane stands well over seven feet tall. His hair is long and unkempt, running well down his back, and also covers his face in a short but full beard. His visible eye is a pale green, moving lazily but purposefully, whilst the other eye is kept covered by a cloth eyepatch. He has the build of a warrior, with powerful arms and a toned physique, and his face is long and flat.

He wears heavy armour, a suit of chainmail, but often conceals much of this beneath a long brown cloak and is fond of wearing a long-brimmed hat adorned with a single purple feather. Previously he carried a greatsword but, following the expedition to the Barrows, he wields an ornate battleaxe and carries a shield upon his back.

## Personality

Calm and soft-spoken, Redmane is not one to show excessive emotion. A gentle giant, he is happy to impart his wisdom upon those he calls companions but is never one to take the centre of attention from another. He is unflinching in the face of danger, remaining stoic as ever, though far from reckless.

He is a firm advocate of law and justice, a sign of his dedication to his faith, and is reluctant to condemn all but the most damned of souls without a fair trial. Believing in the mantra that if a creature can be reasoned with, then it need not be an enemy unless it truly wishes to become one.

## Backstory

In the depths of the Water Fox Woods, south of what was once the Realm of Gawylthlan, lived a small colony of Firbolgs that owed allegiance to none but themselves. A free people, they tended to their own and were protected from the forest's fouler denizens by a mythical guardian of metal and mechanisms. They tended to this guardian as others might a faithful pet, keeping it functional and tending to its injuries with what limited knowledge they had, but never had one of them stopped to truly understand the creature. It was, in many ways, the antithesis of their naturalistic ways and yet it protected them without fail.

Quinciferus was the first of his kind to truly dabble with the entity. He was too inquisitive for the likes of his peers, and so he pressed forward in solitude with his studies and research. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that the guardian of his home was a champion of a god that had somehow lost a piece of its functionality when it crashed into the forest many centuries before. It protected his kin now, but they were being selfish to keep the creature from its true purpose.

He vowed to restore it, to return it to its righteous purpose, and at the conclusion of that he felt his very soul stir. Though not a learned man, gifted with strength of arm rather than mind, he knew that the answers would be found beyond the confines of his home and so set out to gain the knowledge he lacked.

Years have passed since he departed and, though his grand task is little closer to completion, he has adapted to the changing world around him. He took up the simple name of Redmane, in reference to his abundant ginger hair, because it allowed him to further distance himself from his people. His travels have at least blessed him with knowledge of the Lantern Lord, Yaldin, and he believes that it is this light that will guide him to the answers he seeks.

## Adventures in Ahlus

Venturing into the icy lands surrounding the Hiemal Waymark, Redmane was quick to join his companions in further exploration. Negotiating peacefully with a wandering band of orcs, he enjoys the hospitality of The Chicory Coterie and joins them in attempting to rescue one of their own that has fallen to darkness. In The Barrows, he assisted in the destruction of many undead creatures and the end of the necromancer responsible. He took up the greataxe Kaldrvegr from the remains of a fallen Goliath Jarl, promising to make good use of the weapon of the fallen.
