Skills
Due to his imposing size, Trystan's greatest skill is with his strength and intimidation. He's good with any melee weapon in his fists, typically fighting sword and board style though he's not uncomfortable with a two handed weapon. He's not very good with bows, though he can hunt game well enough.

However, he is no brute, Trystan is educated and intelligent, having been brought up by rich parents and then trained by the Hand of Seinac, he's capable of thinking beyond the smashy end of a mace when confronting a problem.

Items of Note
Ysgrim, his war axe

Arnolf, his destrier.

Biography
Born in Tyresport in FY 450, Trystan was raised by Count Samsyd Bader and his wife Daeliah, a shipping magnate who built an empire that spanned the globe. Count Samsyd is said have been the richest man in Darincedonia. Samsyd and his wife were deeply religious and pious in their devotions to Seinac (this being over a century before the Gods are banished by Naggarlothep) and their young son followed suit.

At the young age of fourteen, Trystan ran away and made his way to Tyresport. He did not wish to enter his father's business, he wanted to be a paladin of the Hand of Seinac. He made his way to Caershire where, due to his size, he was able to lie about his age and was accepted as a squire (minimum age for a squire among the Hand was sixteen) for Sir Iovan Gorges. Though his parents soon found where they went, their zealotry convinced them to forgive Trystan and they supported his newfound position among the Hand. Though he was too young, the Hand held on to him.

He went through the Ritual of Contamination when he was twenty, his passage into knighthood. The ritual gave him a small ability to use magic, despite the fact that the Hand hated magic, thus enabling him to bring an end to evil magic-users such as warlocks or necromancers without being so vulnerable to their spells. After this he slowy began to learn that the Hand was a corrupt organization in and of itself and became disenfranchised with them entirely.

Within a year he left the Hand of Seinac after exposing and stopping their evil, and fled Darincedonia as an outlaw, with his best friend, Sam Winters. He never gained his father's wealth and spent the rest of his life going from place to place finding trouble and adventure.

Profession
A paladin of the Hand of Seinac, he is charged with bringing down magic-casting evil doers.
