Background/History: For almost two millennia, Valthos the Invincible was a feard and oft summoned demon warrior. Decked in his heavy armor, carrying his massive sword, he cut a fearful figure. Valthos enjoyed his mockery of the Chivalric Knight, untold numbers of civilizations throughout these multiversal battlefields had one form or another of the knight. He was recognized almost instantaneously for what he was. There would always be challenges. Valthos lived for these challenges. He laughed while they begged or cursed him with impotent anger; or he went back to his home dimension and licked his wounds.

 

Recently he was summoned by the "Daughter" of the Overlord Zenon. The Overlord was very powerful and his daughter had been kidnapped by a human? It was all very strange. But Valthos served anyway. There was plenty of fighting, though mostly against fellow demonic servants, and he was enjoying himself. But as their adventures continued he began to fell differently. He really did want to protect the Overlord's daughter and her cohorts (including the Human!) He found a great sense of pride in his protecting those who could not protect themselves.

 

When their adventures together came to a conclusion, Valthos served his lady by using his massive frame and defensive prowess to protect her followers. He was nearly slain but for the healer demon, Anastasia. When the "daughter" turned out to be the true Overlord Zenon, it's memories returned during the climactic battle, she decided to destroy the entire plane of existance so that she could once again seek her solitude.

 

Before she did this, she sent a fraction of her soul along with her former allies and attendants through a random portal. Arriving in this Earth Realm, the displaced demons found themselves altered. Gone was Valthos' crimson skin and golden hair. Gone was his black iron armor with it's demonic appearance. In it's place was a mortal (though long lived) being. No longer a demonic warrior playing at knighthood, Valthos was now a repentant protector of the innocent.

 

Personality/Motivation: Though he remembers his past (fondly even), Valthos is not the brutal butcher he once was. The remnants of honor he played at, accepting personal challenges, keeping his sworn word to a foe; these blossomed and evolved into a true chivalric code. Valthos, though still crude at times, has become the epitome of a knight in an era where those kind of virtues are not as lauded by society as a whole.

 

Now a defender, caretaker, and Avenger, Valthos anchors the Discordant Company, and is often chosen to accompany mission teams.

 

The giant warrior is head over heels in love with the stern, but compassionate healer known as Anastasia. Around her he becomes very formal and quiet, a gentle giant to be sure.

 

Quote: "Was I supposed to feel that?"

"Don't worry, Miss. No harm shall befall you or your child while I still draw breath."

"Yes Anastasia, I am something of a bungler. You will still heal me though, yes?"

 

Powers/Tactics: Ardent Aegis (also known simply as, Aegis) is the Tanker of the Discordant Company. He has the highest defenses and is capable (at great effort) of defending many people at once. Though he weilds a huge sword in combat, he is a master of the shield. The Sword's penchant for destruction (5d6+1 HKA) leads him to keep it sheathed on his back unless absolutely necissary. He has developed a fighting style based around his shield and though he doesn't throw it, he can beat you up pretty bad with it. He is also adept at fighting without weapons (Titan's Strike). His goal in combat is to limit the damage done to his allies.

 

Campaign Use: Powerful brick with little actual lifting capability. IF you want to weaken him, take away his martial arts and "Gear". To strengthen him, perhaps give him some "Sword Art" skills like the fighters, or other magic items. Alternately, you could give him abilities that allow him to protect others or cause foes to focus on him.

 

Appearance: The Ardent Aegis armor, he calls it "The Bulwark", is a polished gray plate armor on black chain. Though it's barely noticeable unless you're right next to him, along the breastplate is a delicately etched mountain range (symbolic of his Defensive Strength), On his pauldrons are etched hounds, sitting at attention (symbolizing Loyalty). His helmet has a vague wing design. He wears a white cape with a black lining and a black mountain at it's center. His shield is white with a simple black cross design. The Legendary Heavy Sword is a massive 7' long blade at least a foot wide at it's base. It the hilt is black adamantine, wrapped in white leather the blade is golden adamantine with inlaid mithril runes. He wears it on a metal sheath built into his armor.

 

Outside the armor, Valthos, now calling himself Val Thomas, is 6'10'', over 400lbs of muscle and sinew. He has pale skin and black hari and eyes. His canines are a bit enlarged and he has a menacing gaze. He has a tattoo of mountains on his back and chains on his biceps. He dresses in "outlaw Biker" gear, but owns two very nice suits. His hair is straight and hangs down to his shoulders. His ears are pointed.

Background/History: E'triel, unlike many of his collegues in the Discordant Company, is a true Infernal. His father was a vassal of a minor Overlord. He's closer to Rozalin and Etna in this regard. However, like the others in the Company, their adventures to find Rozalin's "Father" changed E'triel. He had always been something of a magical "nerd"; a studious demon given more to research and study than bloodshed and conquest. When they found themselves on this "Earth Realm", E'triel went to work immediately. His gift for languages enabled him to scout relatively unnoticed (particularly once he stopped flying about and disguised his appearance).

He found them allies among the mystical heroes of Earth and aid in setting up shop. In his spare time, E'triel acts as Oswald Ellison, the owner of a used bookstore in Salem, Massachusets; it also serves as one of the Safehouses/Bases for the Company when individual members want to travel a bit.

 

Personality/Motivation: As one of the three major magic users in the Company, Crimson Arcane is actually the least combat oriented. He still prefers research and cataloguing to combat. A close second is music and good food with attractive company. Then languages. Then Combat. E'triel is fairly sardonic and sarcastic but always with a self deprecating twist. He can get a little flustered in social settings (which is why he has the Necklase of Eloquence) and makes jokes at inappropriate times; but he is a loyal member of the Company and a champion of those who can't take care of themselves.

 

Quote: "Let there be LIGHTNING!"

 

"I'm just saying that there are better things we could be doing that trying to kill each other! Dinner and a play, perhaps?"

Powers/Tactics: Versatile magician. His VPP allows him to tailor his attacks but it can take time so he generally uses his elemental attacks or his trusty Staff.

 

Campaign Use: Potent magical ally/adversary. Also a good guy to talk to regarding languages, riddles, spell research and the "Infernal Realms".

 

Appearance: Crimson Arcane is thin, often seeming taller than he is. He has bishonen good looks, and girls seem drawn to him. His natural form has horns at his temples that curl back over his ears, red eyes, black bat-like wings, a red tail that ends in a diamond shape, a fair complexion, and bushy white hair.

 

His "costume" consists of enchanted robes, blood red with glowing red runes on them and black trim. He wears a belt over this, it is black with red stones set into the buckle. The Belt has a black silken box-like pouch that he can put seemingly anything into. The Staff of Winter's Liege is, not surprisingly, pale blue and transparent, seemingly made of enchanted ice itself. Runes run up and down its length, barely visible but silvery white when the light catches them. At the top is a large circle with a dark blue, teardrop shaped stone seemingly suspended in thin air. The staff constantly (unless in freezing temperatures) emits tendrils of steam as if it is melting.

 

When disguising himself with the Mundane Amulet, E'triel looks basically the same save for his wings, horns, and tail are gone, his eyes are blue, and he appears to be wearing slacks, a button down shirt, and a sweater vest.
