Adamiel Bartholemæus Tamariel von Hinan Tenarius II
Son of Tenarius
Arch-Paladin Adamiel Bartholemæus Tamariel von Hinan Tenarius the II (a.k.a. , Hero of Moonshore)
Each day, I feel the gnawing emptiness growing within me, a void that neither riches nor the thrill of the arena can fill. I am Adamiel Bartholemæus Tamariel von Hinan Tenarius II, a name that carries weight and expectations, a name that I did not choose, yet bear the burden of. I don the garb of the Black Knight, a character I created, one that exists to challenge the boundaries my birth has bound me within. I am a man of two faces – one, the cheerful son of a wealthy trader, and the other, a ruthless fighter that surfaces in the darkness of the night. But who am I, truly? I am losing myself in this dichotomy. Each day, my apathy grows. I find myself questioning, challenging, doubting the very essence of my existence. My father's intellectual prowess looms over me like an insurmountable mountain, casting me in its vast shadow. I was groomed to be a paladin of Waukeen, to lead and protect, yet I wonder if it is the life I desire. I fight, not for honor or duty, but to feel alive, to quench the thirst of my growing indifference. The scars I bear from wielding Minroth are not merely physical, but they are etched deep within my soul. I am increasingly torn between the comfortable life I am destined to live and the path I wish to choose. How can I be the perfect son and a fierce warrior at the same time? How can I reconcile the man I am expected to be with the man I wish to become? I am stuck at the crossroads, burdened by the weight of my legacy, haunted by the dreams of what I could be. Yet, beneath the apathy, there's a simmering discontent, a will to break free. But the question remains, how much am I willing to risk to find my own identity? And at what cost? Time is ticking, and I am yet to find my answers.Adamiel Bartholemæus Tamariel von Hinan Tenarius II, an impeccably handsome now middle aged man with blond hair, known for his grace both in the battlefield and in the city. Draped in light, loose shirts and practical trousers when not armored, his armor sparkles in hues of white and gold, topped with liturgical garments. His father's shadow looms over him, a man of intellect, control, and esteemed reputation in the finer circles. Yet, in the face of this familial legacy, Adamiel Jr. is an individual defined by his affinity for the practical. A man of the people, a lover of sport, and a fighter in the shadows, he secretly steps into the arena as the Black Knight, his armor cloaked in obsidian darkness. His life is a juxtaposition of privilege, secrecy, and yearning for a purpose greater than his birthright.Adamiel Bartholemæus Tamariel von Hinan Tenarius II on himself
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Adamiel was born in 364 I.E., marking his birth date as 14 Dreamer's Walk. Known for his courage and indomitable spirit, he had a strong desire for adventure that led him to Moonshore in 383 I.E., where he was infamously known as the Black Knight. In the coliseums of Moonshore, he fought not just for glory but for the very survival of the city.
His involvement in the war against Amanar was one of his most significant life events. He didn't stand alone in this battle, though. Adamiel fought alongside a group of unconventional heroes, each one a rowdy individual with a unique story and skillset. During this tumultuous period, they faced numerous challenges, including an onslaught of terrifying creatures and a confrontation with the ominous Minroth. Despite the high stakes and the mounting pressure, Adamiel and his fellow heroes triumphed, saving Moonshore from imminent disaster. However, in the aftermath of the war, Moonshore tragically fell.
Following this victory and the events of Moonshore, Adamiel channeled his experiences and hard-won wisdom into establishing his own adventuring academy. There, he sought to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of heroes, giving them the tools they would need to confront the dangers of their world. By the year 408 I.E., he has already spent a significant part of his life dedicated to this mission, helping guide countless students on their paths to becoming adventurers.
Adamiel's personal life was significantly impacted when he met and fell in love with a woman named Quori from the small continent of Nevitash. She belonged to the Nevians, a unique group of people of human ancestry known as the Quori who are characterized by their natural magical attuneness. Unlike most of humanity in Eastrix, the Quori people maintained their inherent connection to the Primordial Powers, displaying magical prowess on par with the Yorin race.
This encounter had a profound impact on Adamiel. His relationship with Quori not only brought him personal happiness but also exposed him to the systemic discrimination faced by the Quori. Outraged by the widespread prejudice, Adamiel became a vocal advocate for the Quori people. Leveraging his influence and reputation, he publicly defended the Quori, confronting the bigotry they faced head-on.
Adamiel's outspoken stance, however, was more than just a public display. His intimate relationship with Quori gave him a deeply personal stake in the fight against discrimination. Together, they worked towards building a world where the Quori people and all races could live in peace and mutual respect, free from bias and prejudice.

Morality & Philosophy

Demand: Adamiel interprets this tenet as a call to create value and drive progress.
