Bulwark
The Champion of Purpose
Bulwark is a war construct that was crafted by a Core to infiltrate the War Vultures in an attempt to turn their leader, Nicodemus Mohr, the Icon of War, into a Core. Bulwark, through Their travels with the War Vultures, learned much about humans and their tenacity and ability to adapt. This led to the eventual building of trust as Bulwark was treated as an equal by the populace of Marn after They had defended the scholar's district from the yuggoloth invasion. Their mount is recognized as being a Clockwork Warhorse.
Dogma
Bulwark is a disciplined Champion that follows the doctrines of Jet, and through the bond of the War Vultures, Nicodemus Mohr. With this, Bulwark lacks empathy towards most worshippers and prefers to observe them. However, Nicodemus's examples of being a "soldier" exemplified due diligence and the willpower to interpret orders and objectives in ways that are morally beneficial.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
Gaining favor with Bulwark is done through pursuing one's purpose in life. Whatever is deemed worthy of a life's goal, and the accomplishing of goals to get there, is what is most important to Bulwark. To forgo these goals and this purpose is grounds for loss of favor. Redemption, however, is found through forging one's purpose alongside others that show true companionship.
Interactions with the world
Worshippers of Jet tend to develop the obedient traits that Bulwark is known for. Worshippers of Bulwark have been known to standby for their Core to order them to engage in conflict with trespassers. Though efficient, many Cores find this quirk in Bulwark worshippers to be unnecessary as the constant monitoring of these particular worshippers and the deployment of them can be very mentally exhausting.
