Corros Darkbane
Corros Darkbane (a.k.a. Blessed)
Corros Darkbane was given his name by the temple of Torm, god of paladins, at the age of 40.
He led the early part of life stealing on the streets to stay alive before getting caught. Before the judge, he was given the choice to either join the army or be locked away.
His intention was to spit in the judge's face, but some force then struck Corros down. When he woke up, he was being cared for at the army encampment by a young cleric who enjoyed his rebellious nature. He taught Corros to read, to pray, and trust people. Corros taught him how to pick pockets, swear in five languages, and spit a distance of 5 meters.
They maintained their friendship for many years during which he was happy. He excelled at the martial arts and had a commanding presence which led him to quickly rise in the ranks of the army. After 10 years of service he held the rank of captain. Under the influence of Bast he now was a devout man, strong in his beliefs in deity Helm, also known as the Vigilant One and The Watcher,
the god of guardians, protection, and protectors.
But his good fortune did not last; one night Bast never returned from his work at the temple. Worried, Corros retraced Bast's steps and found out he had been working in the ghetto, helping and healing the poor. His world was shattered when found out Bast had been killed, healing a man being beaten down for not paying the thieves guild's dues.
In his grief, he raged against his former patron god, Helm, for not protecting his best friend. He could not believe Helm could let a follower of his faith perish due to lawlessness and criminality. He took his vengeance on the thieves guild, which seemed to have its claws throughout the entire society, and vowed to be a champion against the underworld and destroy such vermin with his martial and military prowess. He discovered an entire criminal organisation, known as the Brugada and took an oath to destroy them.
He left the church of Helm, to join their rivals, the order of paladins that followed the god Torm. In his service he fought wars, on battlefield and streets alike, tearing down the Brugada in an never ending war. His conviction and prowess earned him the name of Darkbane.
As a paladin Corros took an oath of Conquest.
TENETS OF CONQUEST:

Strength Above All. Never falter, keep up the fight until your goal has been reached.
Paladin of Torm. Pursuer of the evil organisation called 'Brugada'. Took an oath of conquest to not rest until every member of the Brugada was conquered.
