Description
This young man has a serious look about him. Oddly so, it occurs to
you, for one so young. Whatever the task may be, he goes about his
work with a plodding determination many might find unsettling. This
demeanor is reflected in his mode of dress, which can only be
described as utilitarian. He wears plain breeches, of a quality cut,
but constructed from rough fabric capable of enduring the perils of
travel. These he has complimented with a matching shirt and jacket.
Some small pouches hang from his belt, presumably for the transport
of items that might otherwise escape from pack or pocket. Nestled
among them is wide leather loop of the sort typically used to holster
an axe. This strikes you as somewhat out of place, since the man is
clearly no warrior of woodsman.

Dalithar was born to loving but incredibly strict parents. This
rigid upbringing, coupled with the tragic death of his sister, has
rendered him a fairly dysfunctional human being. He clings to order
and regularity tends to obsess over mundane tasks. Dalithar's sister
was slain by bandits on the eastern road, and he has never really
come to terms with her death. He blames those who took her life (and
others like them) for pretty much all of society's ills, and greatly
desires to avenge her death. To an unhealthy degree.
Given his obsession with order and general desire to exact
retribution on those who take innocent life, one might think Dalithar
would gravitate towards the Tribunal or Maran. Unfortunately, there
are aspects of each philosophy that do not sit well with him. Or,
rather, aspects of Dalithar's philosophy that would not sit well with
members of either cabal. For one, he would see retribution meted out
on all those who take innocent life, not just those who do so within
the confines of a protected city. It especially irks him that
obvious murderers can take refuge in the cities and benefit from the
Blood Tribunal's protection.
Dalithar's differnces with the Maran are subtler, but every bit as
significant. In his mind, the Maran focus too much on the color of
someone's aura and not enough on that person's actions. The Brigade
might hunt down a duergar peon who's never so much as ventured
outside the mines, while giving a virtual "free pass" to the elven
battlerager who ruthlessly destroys innocent mages. This is
unacceptable. Dalithar also has no qualms about turning evil against
evil, and would not hesitate to employ any extraplanar servitor in
his efforts to exact vengeance on those who deserve it.
As part of his "code", Dalithar will not strike those who have not
shown themselves to deserve it. Proof can take the form of observed
actions, but also association with certain groups that have stated
goals. Those of the Empire, Scions, Outlanders and Ragers place
their members squarely in the "enemy" column, along with all members
of the Necromancer and Anti-Paladin guilds. All others are to be
left alone- anything less would be the height of hypocrisy.
