Jarek Arcadis (JER-ek ar-KAY-dis) is a middle-twenties Deverenian, of average height and formidable build.
His black hair frames an angular face, and his amber eyes shine forth darkly.
Proudly displaying the colors of the Order Aedroud, he wears heavy dragonscale armor,
carries a shield emblazoned with his family's crest, and is armed with several weapons,
including a longsword that he clearly favors.

| Background |
[ back to top ] |
Born and raised in the capital of Luthlarius, Jarek has been dedicated to restoring the honor and prestige of
his family's order since he was a young squire. Following in Master Anandale's footsteps, he chose
the path of knighthood over joining the Black Sun paladins.
Almost a year ago, Jarek's cousin Magnus requested a favor of him - travel into elven lands
and return with the blood of a nimbic mage. A simple task, Jarek thought. The journey was short and
his quarry was easily found and incapicitated. What Jarek failed to realize was that the little thing
had already been on the run from others. Before he could kill it and collect any blood, they were
both set upon by creatures that the nimbic had angered. Jarek did what his honor demanded
of him - he defended his prisoner. To the death, even, had the little one not wriggled free and stabbed
the final creature before it could finish him. Inexplicably, the elf remained with Jarek while he
recovered, and even offered to go to Deverenia with the big man. There, he fulfilled his mission, delivering
to his cousin blood from the nimbic - blood that he had gathered with the painstaking care and assistance
of The Church's priests. Laughing at the tale, Magnus suggested that Jarek should 'take that thing back
where he found it', but not to hurry back as it was time for him to make his mark upon the world.
Officially accepted into the ranks of the Order Aedroud a couple months ago, Jarek has already proven
himself as an ambitious and capable warrior, and has recently been knighted.

| Family |
[ back to top ] |
It is known that his father was exiled when Jarek was still young and died only recently.
His mother, a priestess, became a Ghed (Stormwraith) not long after Doran's banishment,
by sacrificing herself to The Storm. Jarek has only seen her once since that day, and
grew up in the house of his two cousins, Magnus and Christopher.
Other than his cousins, Jarek speaks little of his family. The letters he writes, and saves
for an opportunity to send home, are kept private.
