Lord Adhemar

Priest of Donn

Played by: Anders Lord Adhemar

Name:Lord Adhemar, Priest of Donn
Age: 28
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 210 lbs

Background:
Born originally under the name Rahn Cerridwyn, Adhemar's parents were heralds of the one faith. Suffering a severe bout of mental illness during his early childhood, his parents believed that their son was possessed by an evil spirit. He was put through an intense form of exorcism, which in reality was a form of torture. As his illness increased, so too did the exorcisms. At the age of nine, Adhemar fled from his hometown- he has never returned.

Found begging on the streets of Plas Gorerddan by the high priest, Adhemar was taken in by the druids. Believing him to have potential, Enya Ui Gwladus, Priest of Donn, took him under her care and trained him to become a Priest. His animosity towards the one faith, his parents and the exorcisms only became worse. He began training to become a trained exorcist and demonologist. His deep study into Donn led him to believe that his name was Lord Adhemar, or Lord Loss. He also believed that his violent behaviour was a gift from Donn, to punish his enemies. This creed formed the basis of Adhemar's life. At the age of 20, Adhemar had forged a suit of armour, sword and mace to fuel his twisted pilgrimage.

Personality Profile:
Adhemar keeps his background shrouded in myth. He is rarely seen without wearing a hooded cloak or his recognisable armour. He is generally a quiet and placid person, although he does sometimes suffer from violent behaviour, usually triggered by strong feelings and emotions. He is ruled by his views of the world and of Donn, and his behaviour is generally quite unpredictable. He is completely devoted to the druidic traditions of Donn and likes to uphold a strong sense of honour and glory. He has a great respect for his land and people, and has developed into a sense of martyrdom towards it. He holds a great animosity towards followers of the one faith. Although this draws back to his childhood, Adhemar has developed this animosity into a warped vision of the world, which is ultimately an inquisition of followers of the one faith.

Physical Profile: At 6'4" and 210lbs, and generally wearing his trademark armour, Adhemar is quite intimidating. Although spending most of the time wearing a hooded cloak or his armour, Adhemar has long dark hair and deep brown eyes. He has tattoos of runes across his forehead, cheeks and across his hands.

Skills and Abilities:
As well as the general skills of the druids, Adhemar has developed an extensive knowledge of demonology. He is a professional exorcist, and has performed many exorcisms on people believed to be possessed. As part of his pilgrimage, Adhemar has proven that he is a formidable warrior. He generally prefers melee weapons, and employs a sword and a large mace-like weapon.

Special Notes:
Unbeknownst to him and others, Adhemar's mental illness is schizophrenia. He refers to his violent behaviour as the "beast." The beast has taken over almost all aspects of his life.
