Mental characteristics

Personal history

Once a virtuous paladin who singlehandedly killed a young green dragon called the Verdant Dread, Dreadbane, disillusioned by greedy nobles and clergy breaking their vows for gold, renounced his sacred oath. He then became a mercenary, vowing to never again let anything but the right amount of coin dictate his will. 
Eventually, he became wealthy enough to start his own elite mercenary company, The Dread Battalion, which fights for whoever can pay the most. 
Taron Lowmore promised Dreadbane a steady flow of coin to protect him and consolidate his power in Clerwood, which Dreadbane was more than happy to oblige. He served as Taron’s bodyguard and commander of his personal army until the former Duke’s fortune was stolen out from under him and used to pay Dreadbane to arrest him and drag him from the city in chains. 
Dreadbane and his Dread Battalion now roam the lands looking for the next employer who can afford them.
