Bio: Kaladin Aarthix Justinian de Landry III
Kaladin Aarthix Justinian de Landry III (Kal to his friends) is the second son of an ancient noble household. Since he was not in line for inheritance due to primogeniture, he instead entered the clergy, following in the footsteps of his revered Uncle Vandrix who had risen through the ranks of the Paladin order of Torm, god of courage and self-sacrifice, to become it's Lord Commander.
With his uncle's patronage, and with big shoes to fill, he feels driven to prove not only his bravery, but his nobility and orthodoxy as well. This religious devotion at times leads to some contradiction and hypocrisy when compared to his somewhat haughty and spoiled upbringing as a member of one of the most powerful families in Conde. He believes that while all people are worthy of protection and assistance in need, he tends to look down on the poor and expects others to treat him with the respect and deference generally afforded a gentleman of his station.
Partially due to his relationship with his Uncle, he rose quickly through the ranks without really needing to directly confront adversity and seeing relatively little combat. He's been trained by the best, as befits his upbringing, but has not had to prove himself yet. He grows bored with this easy life and yearns for adventure to bring legitimacy to his own legacy.
