Fanig of St. Ygg

Ranking Knight in the Order of the Crimson Cross

In the silence of prayer, I have found only echoes of doubt. Where there should be light, there lingers a shadow on my soul.

— Fanig, Mid-Level Priest of the Church of St. Ygg

Appearance

Fanig is notably tall and slender, with a noticeably pale complexion. Dark rings under his eyes suggest a troubled mind or lack of rest. He often keeps his head down, avoiding direct eye contact, which gives him a somewhat elusive and mysterious air.

Personality

Fanig has undergone a noticeable change in demeanor. Once more engaged and assertive, he has become increasingly introspective and quiet. His speech, when he chooses to talk, is often soft and reserved. This shift in behavior has raised quiet concerns among those who know him.

Background

Known for his devout service in the Church of St. Ygg, Fanig was once a cleric who took his duties seriously, committed to the teachings and rituals of his faith. However, a gradual change has been observed in his attitude and behavior, the reasons for which are pure speculation. As of late he has taken to the drink and is often found in the The Saucy Tart during the hours permitted per The RedLaws.

Of late, I find myself more often lost in the depths of a cup than in the pages of scripture. It's as if the wine offers a refuge that faith no longer can.

— Fanig, reflecting on his struggles.

Current Role in the Church

Fanig continues to fulfill his duties as a priest and Red Bannermen but with less fervor than before. His withdrawal has caused him to fade somewhat into the background, raising questions among his peers about his well-being.

Reputation

Within the church, Fanig was known for his dedication, but his recent behavior has altered this perception, leading to whispers and speculation about his state of mind and faith.

Life before the Oath

Born into a prominent noble family in Threshold, Fanig grew up amid the city's political and financial elite. Surrounded by luxury and power, he witnessed the complexities of leadership and governance from a young age. However, the devastating attack on Threshold by monstrous hordes deeply affected him, igniting a desire for a life dedicated to service and spirituality.
Choosing a path divergent from his family's legacy, Fanig was drawn to the valor and purpose of the Order of the Crimson Cross. This decision marked a significant shift from the comfort and influence of his noble roots to a pursuit of deeper meaning within the Order's spiritual and protective fold.
