Personal history
Fleeing the home that had corrupted him Astraeus found himself in Orde, the foil of his Doltenian upbringing. For a time he found peace, working against the interests of his home nation, trying to change it, twist it, all the while betraying himself. At the culmination of his betrayal he would give up on himself, no longer thinking himself worthy of redemption, breaking his Oaths of Redemption. Fleeing ideals counter to his core disposition Astraeus would travel back to Dolten working to protect it's denizens from what had corrupted him. Learning a valuable lesson his hand would be lost in atonement for his reckless acts. Heading away to settle his internal conflict and atone in the eyes of Babylon Astraeus would head to Daborak serving the Lord of Oaths. After researching for a time he would attempt ascension to a higher race, failing and becoming a Kuo-Toa. With such on his mind he remains in Daborak for the time being, finding his peace and healing himself. After making peace with himself he took time to stay with the Crowsworn into what would be his last mission with them, The Crystalline Tower. In the tower his soul would be transformed as planar energy was channeled into him at this point he had discovered a new foreign magic. Not wanting to develop such magic under a banner other than Dolten's and being unwilling to betray or underserve his order, he would leave the the Crowsworn and prove his will as he undertook the Crucible, ascending to the rank of Sergeant in the Night Guard.

Morality & Philosophy
The natural order of the world is determined by strength. The mighty create order and the weak fall to chaos. Civilizations strive to create Order and Chaos tears at it endlessly lest the world become stagnant and chained. Good is refusing to let the weak fall, through any means, and Evil is to let chaos fester and the weak fall to it. While he personally believes that innocents should not be caught in the crossfire between cardinal forces and intersecting realms; he also knows that the world is not perfect and such will not the case. Innocents, Fae-Lost such as himself will always exist, the product of an endless cycle. As such the ends justify the means.
Taboos
Astraeus will not go back on his word, and refuses to compromise the secrets of any of the organizations he worked for.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Astraeus is motivated particularly by his Fae-Lost past wanting to minimize the risks of Dolten or the innocent. He believes that Chaos allowed what happened to him to transpire and as such Chaos must be put down lest the world fall to primordial madness. He sees Dolten as a country that failed him in the past and as such it is his duty to minimize it's chaos for future generations. Counter yet parallel to his duty is the motivation to stop and settle down and create a safe home for his fiance and orphan child, for a safe home can't be created in Dolten easily.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Astraeus is a particularly good pun maker, he sucks at most general knowledge areas. In combat he takes a brazen emotional style letting his blows be dictated by anger and his will rather than a formulaic thinking.
Likes & Dislikes
Astraeus enjoys the refined art of spider dunking, he dislikes lying and secrecy though he understands the need for them. He'd rather be upfront and face the consequences, unless secrecy is critically needed.
Virtues & Personality perks
Astraeus has a very defined set of morals and follows them to a tee. He is fiercely loyal to those he considers family and when brought to the brink will always side with them, seeing family as a more natural order than government. He's generally positive, respectful and wanting to be helpful. He will do what needs to be done.
Vices & Personality flaws
Astraeus is a very self sacrificial type of person. He'd rather bear weight than see those closest to him bear it. Additionally he is rarely offensive, he's more flexible and defensive in conversation rather than self advocatory. He bears too much guilt on himself and struggles to proportionally weigh his failures and their effects on the people around him.
Personality Quirks
Serial punmaker
Hygiene
He is still adjusting to the fishiness so he washes quite regularly to avoid that slick shit.

Paladin of The Seven
Astraeus does not like Chaos. However his view of entities such as Kaheeli and Raquel, the same way he views Olakenhai. Chaos vs Order will continuously exist. However while Kaheeli and Raquel represent Primordial and dutiful Chaos, as is their function and the continuity, Olakenhai reprsents unnatural Chaos. That which would raze the earth and see reality reduced to a void of pandemonium.
