Rhavin Ellmir
Once the son of a prestigious Mallian family, Rhavin Ellmir is now nothing more than a Rogue Templar and wandering Wolf.
Born the only child of Velrin and Tiara Ellmir, Rhavin from a young age showed a propensity for adventure. As a child he was constantly escaping beyond the ventures of his family's estate, often running the streets alongside the slightly older Prince Jorg.
This tradition continued well into his teenage years, with his parents often scolding him for cutting the scholarly bonds he had been offered. Instead of diving into books, Rhavin took on a more martial tutelage. Learning the sword and bow as though his life depended on it.
The sense of adventure continued to call to him throughout his life, and was only brought to a head when his old friend Jorg left Mallian to join a mercenary company.
Seeing his friend and Prince leave the city behind, Rhavin quickly followed suit.
Unlike his old comrade however, Rhavin did not simply join the first group of mercenaries he found. Instead he made a bargain with his parents, one he fully intended to break. They would fund his travels west, and he would eventually return to take on the families mantle.
Setting off by ship, Rhavin traveled nearly a year before he eventually ended up in the eastern reaches of the spine. There he encountered a group of Templar fighting a Legion of Threknir Trolls. Rhavin quickly joined the Templar's side, and through a bloody battle made a place for himself within their ranks.
After this battle Rhavin quickly learned about the Templar Chapter he had been swept up in.
Calling themselves the Chapter of the Crimson Hand the Templar Rhavin found himself joining were a group of hard-line idealists. They stuck to the old Templar Code, swearing to defend the people of their lands and standing as a bulwark against the taints of the land.
For five years Rhavin fought under the banner of the Crimson Hand. Bravely he stood against undead, orcs of molthal, sirens, and even the Arken Drakes of the far north.
It was only when he had proven his place, when his brothers truly believed in him, that the gift of his blood was finally awoken.
In a moment of plight; the midst of a battle as Rhavin lay broken and cut from ear to ear that the wolf came forth. A scion of Mallian and a son of wolves, Rhavin's beast ripped his flesh asunder. As his brothers were slain all around him and their blood spilled, the Noble tore at his own flesh and became a massive white werewolf.
With a horrid scream and the rush of rage Rhavin tore into their foes. The beast overtaking him he tore into the battlefield and quickly turned the tide of battle. White fur turned crimson was stilled only by the simple touch of exhaustion.
Though terrified by what their brother had become, the Templar of the Crimson Hand dragged Rhavin's broken body back to their sanctuary. It was there that his taint was revealed to the young boy, and shortly after was expelled from the Chapter itself.
Although he had fought bravely besides them the Hand' could not abide by what Rhavin now was, though nor could they kill him.
He was exiled. Expelled and forced to walk the land as little more than a rogue.
