Some years ago, an infant goliath was found at the door of the Hallow Order of Kelemvor’s temple. It is not known who his original parents were; some suspected he was an unwanted bastard from a noble, though this has never been proven.
The order came to call the nameless boy Lyons after the god of death when he was but a mortal, and raised him as one of its own members. As luck would have it the child quickly proved to be extremely talented, developing a mastery of the fighting arts unprecedented in the Holy Order. His only flaw was in his devotion, as he was prone to fall into a blind fury at the mere utterance of that which was unholy. So when one of the orders clerics begun amassing a crusade against the damned, no one in the order could dissuade Lyons from joining them. With little more than the armor on their backs and the blades at their hilt the group counting of sixty men would set off, this was their divine calling. A calling of Kelemvor would not go unheeded by the righteous.
Though little did they know what they would truly face when they stood against the darkness, Kelemvors warning brought to light the existence of a lord of vampires; a great shadow lurking behind mortal men, and in this case an army hailing from the distant Kingdom of Farstone. As such the crusade would not take them to a necropolis or decrepit castle, but rather to a war between the kingdoms of Farstone and Vyrin.
In the beginning attempts were made to convince the warmasters of Farstone of this deceit; but in the middle of war men of arms protect their brothers and could not accept the notion that one of their own could be a vampire. Such accusations were not taken lightly, and thus the order would have to make an enemy of Farstone if it were to root out this evil and fight with the kingdom of Vyrin; and so they had, as they made audience with the king of Vyrin and pledged their crusade to the war.
Their force were to be tasked with the protection of a few towns that would later be known as the ground for the Battle of Spearpoint. Though only partially keeping their word, the order would the skirmish between between Vyrin and Farstone to sneak into the warmasters camp with a small detachment of warriors and slay the vampire and hopefully end the war swiftly. To their surprise it would seem the camp was guarded by a reserve detachment of knights, dooming the battle to shed blood not of only monsters but of men as well. As these veteran knights would fight to the last to try and fend off Or'es and his crusaders of Kelemvor.
This battle would last until sunset, and few crusaders were left standing after the battle, among which were only five. Yet, they still had their duty and marched on to the warmasters tent in searched of the vampire. As they both would expected and dread, the vampire would be awaiting them woken by the falling sun. As the first two paladins to approach the tent would fall to the ground lifeless as their shoulders now lacked a head standing upon them. In front of which now stood an armor clad knight in crimson regalia, distinct in that it emanated with an aura of hatred as if each fallen knight in the camp were demanding their blood or their lives in payment; the king of the night would appear not to see his pawns disregarded so lightly.
The resulting duel against the vampire lord would last until the moon had risen high into the night sky, a terror to behold as each passing moment gave the creature of the night more power. Though with holy fervor the last three warriors of the order would not cease until their duty was done, though little did they know the fate the vampire had in store for them. Being spared Kelemvors welcome they were not struck down like their fallen companions; striking at the arms and legs the vampire would have Lyons and his companions forced to their knees as blood loss and exhaustion would take their toll.
At the mercy of a vampire Lyons would not beg for his life and stared on in silent defiance as the cleric Or'es spoke; in a way it was an amusing sentiment when the vampire had their lives in its hands. Returning the clerics sentiment by speaking of every evil it had committed, and to the surprise of the cleric that list was no greater then any moral mans. It was the vampires vision of the world which brought Kelemvors ire, a prophesy of a world free from the tyranny of mortality, fear, and death.
The look on the clerics face said everything the vampire needed to know, and to prove the point the vampire slit both Lyons and his companions throats in front of Or'es. To Or'es horror one of them was risen as a half dead an abomination and the other as a skeletal creature of nightmares. The zombie immediately tried grasping for Or'es and was quickly ended by the vampire, while the skeleton of Lyons appeared fully sentient remembering everything before his death and still reattaining his free will.
At the time it would seem black hearted, but the vampire lord had an eternity to convince them that mortality was nothing but the greatest insult the gods bestowed upon mortals. Thus if they truly wanted to help people, they would help make his dark dream a reality, making death a choice, and no longer the curse it is. In time Or'es and Lyons were sired by the vampire with only one condition, that they set aside their hate for the undead and do what is truly right for the world. Lyons would later go by the name Divinity as if to mock the divine by his existence, and Or'es would become a vampire in service to the one who showed him the light that lingered in the darkness.
"The Gods have forsaken both man and beast, cursing you with mortality; for they seek to hold your leash with promises of grandeur. No more, the gods and their servants must fall, as life is too precious to be manipulated by tyrants."
Personality:
Despite his resurrection as an undead oathbreaker, unlike Or'es very little had changed about Divinity when he became undead. He holds the value of life sacred and seeks to avoid bringing harm to the innocent whenever possible. Though rather then holding the unholy in contempt, he holds the Holy in contempt for their blind faith in the gods. With a heart of a saint this monster seeks to vanquish all that is holy from the world.
Beware the god hunter, he who is the reason for priests to pray for protection at night, and is spoken in hushed tones of what becomes of paladins who have forsaken their gods.
