Ren

## Overview

Ren Veliante is an an adventurer for the 5 Phases Guild. He his a Battle Master Fighter/ Oathbreaker Paladin, with the skill to wield any weapon to a expert level. Ren first appears in Session 1, where he would be assigned by Val Brazer to help the Heroes in their first mission with the guild. It is explained later that this was because of the high casualty rates among new adventurers. Ren would accompany the party to disperse the bandit camp. Ren would later return at the end of Session 2, reuniting with the party during their mission to investigate the Tiefling Archipelago & The Free City of Legacy. Officially, no outsiders were allowed to enter The Free City of Legacy, so King Leopoldt Clause arranged a "diplomatic mission" to the city as a pretense for the heroes to enter the city, where it was Ren's job to accompany these diplomats and link up with the heroes. However, things would turn against the party when it was reveled that the diplomats had ulterior motives, knocking out Ren and leaving the heroes stranded in the destroyed city, returning to Koyoba to begin their uprising. Ren's luck would not change however, being severely concussed in the party's encounter with Inquisitor Monty. Only after the party recruited the aid of a friendly doctor would Ren recover. Upon returning back to Koyoba, Ren would be tasked on a secret mission by Val Brazer, to investigate deeper into the civil war in Medo, and uncover the mastermind behind it. It would be in Medo where Ren would once again meet up with the party, and vowing to aid them in their fight against The Beast Master and restore peace to Medo.

## Appearances

### Debut

Session 1

Born in a small town outside White Star, Ren Veliante would grow up modestly. His family were blacksmiths, in which he was trained to follow in his families profession. Ren would be the second child, with his older brother, Requiem, being 4 years older than himself. Despite the age difference, the two brothers were extremely close, often playing games of war and mock battles with each other. It would be in these games with his brother that Ren would discover his innate talent with weapons. He had always grown up around weapons, which allowed him to understand how each weapon was meant to be used. Scraping together enough money, the village would send Ren to White Star, in the hopes he would be trained into the Sacred Paladin Order, the guardians of White Star. Ren indeed would pass the entrance exams, being formally inducted into the order at the age of 16 as a squire. Ren would train with the order for 3 years, becoming a formal Paladin at the age of 19, but it would be here that he would see just how corrupt the order truly was, firmly in the pocket of The Clerical Council. Ren would abandon his Oath to defend the nation he called home, becoming an oathbreaker in the process. Ren would put his skills towards truly helping those in need of protection, joining up with the 5 Phases Guild. Ren wouldn't be idle for long however, being called to Koyoba with all of the other guild members to defend the city against the forces of The Demonic Emperor. Ren would be one of the 500 survivors in the guild, feeling immense guilt over being unable to help those in need of his help. He also saw the gap between himself and the individuals who attacked the city. All his life, he was told he was special, that he was talented, but in that battle, Ren realized that the mountain he thought he had been climbing was merely a small hill, and that if he truly was going to be able to defend anyone, he would have to grow even stronger. Shortly after the battle, Ren would choose to explore the world, before return to his village. Ren would travel to all nations, doing guild work on the side, honing his skills. 5 Years after the battle in Koyoba, Ren would decide to return home. However, upon returning home, he would discover that his home was destroyed by cultists. Ren, enraged, would decide upon his purpose in life, it was to destroy the cult who had taken his family and village from him, vowing to get stronger, and one day, bringing about the same pain and suffering they had inflicted upon his home to them.
