For many citizens of Falacaerr, the struggle of merely existing without undead hordes, Fae with blood curse magicks, or the Lusty Thieves among a vast many other worries, is a titanic and seemingly impossible battle for survival. Many Mareten and Lian prey to the Gods that seemingly do not heed individual cries for help, and the mortals of Royal courts are just the same. They cry out for hope, a chance to change things not just for themselves, but for all Mareten and Lian citizens. And that is where the cleverness of Balis, deity of Justice, came in.

Rather than appeal as some divine intervening matron that promised to solve all the problems that plagued the Falaricae, the morbid deity decided to bolster the will and determination of the people to resolve their own issues! For the meek, there was the simple worship and favoritism of Balis as their new prime deity, but for those wishing to do more... There was the Avenging Church and its Zealots. A militaristic order dedicated to maintaining the law of the land, and pushing back the armies and opposing forces of the status quo.

And to that regard, is where Cordoun comes in. Tired of seeing people taken by the Undead, of Lian being abused by malicious gangs such as the Lusty Thieves, and hoping to instill just an overall better society for his world, he performed the ultimate in selfless acts. He submitted to Balis, allowing her to bestow him with magnificent abilities and training as a loyal servant to her faith... At the cost of his free will.

Now this does not suggest that he isn't capable of independent thought and decisions, Balis merely uses this kind of absolute control to hold to a rigid code of conduct out of her soldiers. Thereby taking full responsibility of any Zealot's actions, rather than being vain as many of her kin to leave the problems of the mortals, to the mortals.

It was with this submission of his will, that Cordoun was transformed in his lifestyle and honed himself from commoner to skilled warrior. Trained in the uses of heavy armors and massive longswords or battle axes as commonly seen by the Avenging Church. His education was broadened to every subject available, Balis determined to give the gift of modern and civilized society to all Mareten and Lian.

Years into accepting his place in the Avenging Church, he is now a veteran soldier dedicated to upholding the law of the land, wherever he is sent.
