Skolas "Firebrand" Zareth
Vengeful templar of Horoth, and the inventor of the magically intense, and vengeful music style he calles "battle-tone." This is how he makes his rage, and longing for vengeance known. He spends his days hunting down every filthy lair from which the Children of the Eternals operate. His rage knows no end, and with Horoth's divine might, he unleashes that endless rage upon the cult that struck at him.
Physical Description
Body Features

Special abilities
He is a rare case. He is not only a bard with access to lesser arcane magic, but is a templar with access to divine power. The two combined make him extremely deadly. Still, the two are not enough to push him to ascendence. He has said he is dissapointed as that would have made his overall style that much more memerable, not that it isn't already.
Specialized Equipment
His axe is one of a kind. He made it himself to not only be strong enough to see a thousand battles, but have all the musical capability that his life as a bard demands.

Personal history
He starterd as a traditional bard, playing in local taverns to support his growing family. He had a loving wife, and child, with another child coming very soon. One day, he returned home, and heard a struggle from outside the front door. He charged in with his short sword drawn. He saw his family get taken out the back door, and made his pursuit. He followed the kidnappers to their hideout. He was too late. They had already sealed off the room with a dark magic barrier. He was forced to watch as his family was sacrificed to the Eternals. He made his retreat with one thought on his mind: Vengeance.
He went to Horoth, took the oath never to refuse, or back down from a call to arms. Horoth granted Skolas his divine power, and Skolas knew exactly what he would do with said power. He began hunting members of the cult, and even entire cult districts. He doesn't just kill members of the cult, he makes sure that fear fills their mind. Every time he has identified a member of the cult, he toys with his prey.
First, he makes himself known, he makes it known that he is hunting them by hiding in the shadows. He wistles an ominous tune, and uses his bardic illusory magic to make it seem that it is coming from everywhere. He does this until the cultist begins running. He pursues this cultist and places illusory images of himself half hidden along the cultists path to force the cultist into a position where they are cornered. Once they are cornered, he makes himself known. He gives a speech of how the cult took everything from him, and now he will tear them apart. He makes it known that they brought this upon themselves. He strikes his prey out of existence, and places their corpse outside their lair.
His music reflects his vengeful nature. Using illusory magic, he applies a sort of filter to his lute, and his voice that is intense beyond anything else that ever was heard inside any other tavern, or party. You can hear the rage in his voice as he sings songs of battle, and sorrow. He has been hunting the cult for several years, and has vowed never to stop. This is his call to arms.
