Aldwin

Background
Born a year before the Great War, Aldwin, along with his mother, Madrissa, went into hiding while his father, Adeon, a paladin who served in the Order of Iomedae, was summoned to defend against the invading dark forces. Aldwin and Madrissa were forced to constantly be on the move as towns and villages were pillaged.

When the war ended, Madrissa received depressing news that Adeon had died during a final stand during the last few days of the war. But soon after, she recovered from her depression, coming to terms that her husband's death was not in vain, and in fact, it was his courage that led the Order to defeat the dark forces.

As Aldwin grew up, Maldrissa would tell him about his father's great triumphs as a paladin of the Order. Inspired by these stories, Aldwin decided to follow in his father's footsteps and at the tender age of 14, bade his mother farewell and left to join the Order.

Upon entering the Order, he was met with a much older boy who took him under his wing for the duration of his initiation. The boy taught Aldwin much about the Order, explaining to him what it meant to be a paladin for the Order, the values and the code of Iomedae. But before Aldwin could complete his initiation, the boy had to leave for further training.

Soon Aldwin joined the ranks of the paladins, and was finally sent on his assignment: To recover a lost artifact of great and unknown power. With that, he took his equipment and set off for Kalimart, the town where he would meet his first contacts.

Death
As the party descended into the dark sewers to uncover the mystery behind the murders around Sudan, they stumble upon a dark altar, to which Aldwin immediately senses a dark and evil aura surrounding it.

However, the party is ambushed by a werewolf and two rat-beasts. As they try to take down the abominations, Aldwin, being inexperienced with the strength of these beasts, was knocked down and eventually died from a killing blow caused by one of the rat-beasts.

Soon after, the party retreated back to the surface but failed to recover the body of Aldwin. With that, it is now unknown to whatever happened with his body.
