The Devoted One

Sir Carliantus Sidriel (a.k.a. The Devoted One)

“Even given a great duty as a Sora’Somin, a life of luxury and sitting on your ass; enjoying your time in safety while the others go out to the battles. He traded that all away to be a hero, to stand up and fight for the weak; to trade places with a hundred soldiers that could had died had he not. He is a hero to us all, that we should not grow comfortable; for there is always someone out there deserving of justice.”
~Fellow Descendent Justicar

Personal history

Carilantus always had a deep rooted hatred for criminals. Nothing aggravated him more than the thought of someone committing a crime and getting away with it. This proved to be an issue during his early education, as having been born a Sora’Somin thrust him into a role he had no interest in. In Epilesis, the Sora’Somin are revered as a major factor in the Descendant’s victory during the Great War. Their battlefield prowess and combat master was a triumph and being born with such a Legacy is considered the highest of honors as well as the heaviest of burdens for any Descendant. What this meant for Carilantus was that he ended up spending far more time studying military tactics and socializing with bureaucrats instead of pursuing a career where he could bring evildoers to justice. Despite his lack of interest in the much of his expected tasks, Carilantus did possess an aptitude for anticipating enemy movements or actions, and it was this aptitude that made him a hero and set him on the hunt that would shape his life. As was often the case, Carilantus spent entire days discussing kingdom conflicts with an Imperitus of Epilesis. Giving council to the Imperitus and learning from them was primary objective of Carilantus’ instruction. It was at the end of one such day that an assassin stepped from the shadows in a well guarded dining hall and attempted to take the Imperitus’ life. By all accounts, the assassin would have succeeded had Carilantus not reacted so quickly. In a flash, he had met the assassin’s blade with his own, and they exchanged a brief flurry of strikes and parries but the assassin vanished back into the shadows. The shocked and grateful Imperitus offered Carilantus a reward, but all Carilantus asked for was a week off from duties. The request was met with no small amount of scorn and mockery by Descendant military officials who saw it as a blatant confirmation and admittance of laziness. Carilantus however, had seen the eyes of the assassin. He had felt the outrage with every blade swing that was turned aside. He knew the assassin would not accept anything less than victory. The assassin would come back to finish his task, and soon. the sixth day of watching the Imperitus, Carilantus watched as the assassin once again stepped from the shadows and expertly tossed a blade at the Imperitus’ throat. Carilantus was ready. He may never have had a taste for war, or politics, but catching this assassin and forcing him to pay for his crimes was something he had waited for his whole life. Days of sitting with half notched arrows finally paid off and with speed and skill only a Sora’somin could muster, Carilantus shot the thrown blade out of the air before it could strike the Imperitus. The conflict was brief, but once again the assassin would flee into the darkness without trace. This time the Imperitus was moved by Carilantus’ devotion. He released Carilantus from all military duties and told him it was his destiny to catch this killer, to which Carilantus replied “I will catch them all.” For years, Carilantus has served as an expert bounty hunter, tracking criminals and bringing them to justice in kingdoms across Laruna. Ever working, eschewing fame or comfortable living, Carilantus is always on the hunt, and though he may not know it, a well respected hero back home.
