Dedicated servant to Sarenrae and a trusted cleric companion to his party. Despite his holy way of life, Tristan's earlier years were not peaceful or holy as you might expect for a man of the cloth.
As a young boy, Tristan witnessed the murder of his family by a group of bandits. He barely escaped with his own life, and he fled into a system of caves deep into the wilderness. While in the caves, he wished for the world to be destroyed. In his anguish, his desires opened him to the influence of Rovagug, the God of Destruction and Mayhem, and became the vessel of vengeful God.
For a period of about 14 years, without control over his body, he carried out the evil God's bidding. He formed a cult dedicated to the resurrection of Rovagug, as he was driven back into the deep places of the Earth by Sarenrae.
The cult nearly succeeded in its mission, until Sarenrae intervened directly. Sensing that Tristan was the only person who was present against his own wishes, she incinerated everyone in the cult and exorcised the demon from Tristan. The exorcism eradicated Rovagug's hold on Tristan, and with it, he lost all of the dark powers and abilities obtained during the time of his possession. All that remained were the dark memories of this past life and a nearly shattered mind. The chest scar that was dealt to him by the bandits was replaced by a brilliant blue and gold tattoo, the mark of Sarenrae.
Finally free of his torment by such a beautiful and divine entity, he became eternally grateful and utterly infatuated with her. To return this divine favor, he became a man of the cloth in the domed temple dedicated to Sarenrae to the West of Otari. Tristan spent the following years to and from the temple and the Dawnflower Library preaching in the name of Sarenrae. It was during these years that Tristan formed a friendship with Wrin Sivinxi. Wrin was one of the few people in the surrounding area that has traveled and experienced more than the simple way of life in Otari.
