## Relationships

**Friends:**

***Father McLaughlin***- A well-liked minister of the area, who established an orphanage which provides housing and board to children who adhere to the rules of the organization, which include; daily work, study, and ethical guidelines. Sean has been known to offer what meager funding he has to help support this charity and often volunteers there when he has the time.

***Sara*** – Of the many reasons Sean helps out at the orphanage, Sara is likely the largest. She is a young orphan girl, 7 years of age with chestnut colored hair, blue eyes and skin as pure as ivory. There is not much in the way of explanation to their bonding, save that Sean’s heart was drawn to her with fatherly love at first sight, Sean had never had a family and never would unless the Order told him to do so which seemed unlikely at best, to this end Sara had filled a hole in Sean’s life he did not even know existed until they had met
and he was often seen playing with her or helping her in her studies, when he could afford the time.

***Balfor***: A local blacksmith who Sean had helped previously clear his name and prove that the towns guard was extorting him for additional taxes beyond that owed to the crown.

**Enemies**: *Enemies of Sean are enemies of the Crown most of which*
are dealt with quickly and without pause for explanation or trial, though a one remains to be dealt with.

***Teivel The Black*** – A skilled practitioner of dark magic which was banned even before the order existed, how he came to know of or wield such power is unknown to Sean, Travel was thought to be just another simple heretic looking for links to the fading magic of the past but Sean was part of a detachment sent to capture him. Everything was executed perfectly, but no one was prepared for the dark energy that Teivel wielded, Sean was the sole survivor of his group, Teivel has become to him the great example of the evil of Magics and all Tyranny; Sean has failed to track Teivel down again but occasionally he hears whispers of the man and awaits the day he can again face him.

***Captain Gregor***: A ranking officer in the town guard, Although not a true enemy there is no love lost between the two, Gregor thinks Sean a rash zealot who abuses his power and oversteps the bounds of his authority. In-turn Sean finds him a weak leader, holds him responsible for the actions of his previous lieutenant, and suspects he may have even been involved in the crime.
