Torviolli, Knight of the Utter Depths
Knight Below Torivoli Ariani
"Where is the world is the darkest place? Where has the worst monster, the most devastating creatures? Do you know how lucky you are? To be below, in the cold, in the water always there. Drowning and drowning and drowning. They all drowned yet didn't die. Better they did. When I brought the warning, those savages, they laughed at me. LAUGHED! We will see who is laughing soon, see how they like to drown and drown and drown...." - Found at the breatch of the everflowing sea.
"What is goodness worth? When you break they look back and say 'oh he was a hero', they say 'a shame he went mad'. They were always this thing. Corruptible weak. Suffering is the catalyst to atrocity. There is no way back after that. Those fools challenged the dark. They stared at it's heart and expected to come back untainted. The hubris, the hubris." - Talon Kart, Reflections on falling.
"In life we all try to succeed towards a dream, high and glorious. So many fail, let it fall but he might reach it. He might become what all motals aspire to. His legacy secure." - Wilit the Coyote
"What is worse, to hunger endlessly to see the actions to feel the horror you cause or to be retained but have the fog roll over, to live ever dreaming, somewhere never trully seeing what is and what isn't. Am I or is he? Is blood or sea. Night falls and darkness comes, whatever we do best to not see." - Arabellia the Half Cursed

Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Male
Sexuality
He loved her. His heart was hers forever. She was drawn more than he. He was drawn to she. When she went he followed, deeper and deeper and deeper.
Education
"Examination of the new Ariani is positive, he is strong and willing. He is watchful and stoic. He has one gap in judgement when it comes to the little waif that wanders the halls. He will be a sterling knight. A competent commander and a man to never falter in his duty." - Report from Count Sessari Eccann
Employment
"I write this in the dark guided only by candlelight. There are only 25 men left. Torivolli is the commander of a detachment now, 36 and leader of a knightly order mayhaps that viscious bitch he pines over will finally love him. I blame her for this. She walks with us still haunting the men's shadows. Wraithlike. The mission to push back the Sea goes well all in all but, so much lost. I think we have found something though. A link unexpected. Worship of something old, mayhaps In The Night Sky but the form is wrong. Closer but more to find." - Count Sessari Eccann, Account of the Sea Fortress raid north of Tagmire.
Accomplishments & Achievements
"I commended Torviolli the Knight of the Utter Depths, a true Knight-commander. After the Sea caves how could I refuse him. Though she haunts his shadow he is a good man, a man willing to break the enemies of the Kingdom against him. We are beginning a voyage to Tylia. Its planning at least. I have found reference to something there. It has become an obsession of his wife and that makes me want to destroy the whole project and yet..... and yet I wish to see. I have started praying to In The Night Sky. She fills me with hope. The cold night lit by her majesty. She keeps the dark back." - Diary of Count Sessari Eccann
Mental Trauma
A deep fear of bright light.
Morality & Philosophy
"His damned wife.... I've been blind. I know this is my end and that bitch, that whore no... no.... be useful Sessari like father said, someone may find these words. Torviolli is a traitor to all mortals. He has embraced darkness, embraces the sea. Embraces.... Moon give me strength.... what matter is they dream awake the knights, never let free bound by monstrosity by her. She implanted something into Dunio, the others. We fought tried to save Torvioli. My old poor bastard of a friend. She is what drives him and now.... now she owns them all." - Missive intercepted by the Knights of the Utter depths, Last know testement of Count Sessari Eccann
