Karl von Leichberg is a spellcaster of moderate power, specializing in necromancy. He is a former member of the adventuring party team Præmie Hingst. In spite of being a necromancer, he is still very much on the side of good, altough his expieriences and defeats are getting to him, and have made him increasingly paranoid, cynical and jaded...

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Karl is physically unimposing, with a height of 175 centimeters which is just around the human average. Most people would probably say that he is a little above average when it comes to looks, or at least he would be if he didn't look, worn out and prematurely aged by his stress and trauma. Karl looks like (and is) a man who has seen his fair share of adveristy and tragedy, and it seems to like it is taking its toll on him.

### **Personality**

Paranoid but loyal. Cold but Kind. Calculating but Caring. Rational but Rash. Collected but Hotheaded. Genius but Fool. These are all words that describe part of who Karl is. The man truly wants to make a difference in the world and change it for the better, but he is insecure about the best way of doing so, whether it is even possible or if he is just making things worse. He tries to use his intellect to measure every situation and come to the most logical and (at least in his mind) correct conclusion, but he often second guesses himself. Karl can also sometimes get overwhelmed by his emotions in stressfull situatuations, and make rash, impulsive desciesions he will later regret. He also has a soft spot for the less fortunate members of society, in particluar children and orphans as he has grown up as one. Karl is often conflicted about whether his attachment to other people is a good or a bad thing, as on one hand it presents him with a potential weakness that his enemies can exploit, and on the other it would be sad life to live without any friends. Part of Karl also knows that his friends serves as an emotional klutch for him, and prenvents him from going too far of the deep end, altough he would have a hard time openly admitting that.

Karl does not directly worship any gods. He acknowledges that gods exist, but merely views them as powerfull beings, not inherently greater than mortals in any way, except for the amount of power they wield. He judges them based on their actions from a human perspective, like he would any powerfull person. Karl does not belive that anyone are entitled to power, just because they are powerfull. Power is a responsibility not a privilege, and should be used for the betterment, prosperity and happiness of the people. Incidentally, this has led him to condemn many so-called "neutral" gods as threats to the world, if they use their powers in ways he deems entiteled or childish, or for not prioritising the common good of the sapient species by for example placing the sancity of nature higher than the lives of people. Karl understands prioritising though, and is not about to start launching wars against such gods as long as there are more outwardly evil or malevolent forces to deal with.
