Elijah is a tall and powerful man. He stands taller than any regular man and his lean muscles are very dense, lending to his weight. His hair is kept short and functional. He appears very thin to explain his strength and size, but even though he isn't bulky his strength is the real deal.

He dresses in simple common clothing while not in uniform or armor. His armor is always polished and in good condition, same with his weapons. He wears a blue cloak over his armor with the sigil of the Templar.

He's a very cheerful person, he loves laughter and good friends even in the worst of times. He's optimistic and joyful around everybody and in general is a joy to be around. He's loyal and devoted to his friends and to his duties, he would never do anything to compromise either of those. He holds the good of others above his own wellbeing and he follows the doctrine to the letter.

He's a devout follower of the celestial goddess Metisa and the god Tychan. He bases his morality, his loyalty, and his ideals off of these two celestial gods. He also reveres the Astra as the goddess of creation.

Knight Templar: He's a gifted knight of the Templar order. His skills with both a sword and lance have catapulted him through the ranks of the Templar order and he's known to be unmatched in either weapon. He's also an expert horseman and quite capable in horseback combat and tactics.

A Holy Warrior: He has bestowed upon him the gifts of the god Tychan and the goddess Metisa. He's able to pray to them to grant him the ability to heal minor wounds, to guard against evil corruption, and banish the forces of darkness to the void.

Uncanny Intelligence: He's an expert in battle tactics and strategy, but he's also got quite a head for numbers. Economics, statistics, commerce, trade, he's well read and versed in these subjects and loves a good mental challenge.

Half-Giant: His strength compared to his build doesn't seem to fit, but to the touch his wiry muscles are like solid stone and his bones are like unbendable steel. A regular sword might cut his skin, but might also break against his dense flesh.
[Keen Smell: He possesses a very keen sense of smell thanks to his lineage, almost like a blood hound.
[Spell-like abilities: He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: Detect Magic, Fog Cloud, light.
3/day each: Feather Fall, fly, Misty Step, Telekinesis.
1/day each: Control Weather, Gaseous Form.

Leadership: He's very good at giving speeches, whether preaching the words of the gods or commanding men in war. He has a face that garners trust, a voice that inspires strength and loyalty. He's no stranger to politics either, having grown up seeing politics in action.

Dogma VS Morality: Sometimes he cannot decide which is more important, duty or doing what is right, aren't they supposed to be the same thing? But when they clash he's undecisive.

Not An Archer: He can't fire a bow, crossbow, throw a javelin, dart, rocks. His hand eye coordination for ranged attacks is severely lacking.

Divine Magic: If he were ever to lose the favor of his patron gods, he would be cut off, unable to cast holy magic, and he would cease to be a paladin.

Elijah was born out of a magical reproductive joining of a human woman and one of the few living cloud giants. Or in other words, his dad temporarily changed his size with magic so that he can be with the woman he fell in love with.
The result was Elijah Khalo Celasaer, the orphan taken in by the church after his mother was slain and his father disappeared.

The church of the templar order raised him, as many of their warriors had been raised from orphancy. They taught him, trained him, educated him. He learned of the gods and vowed from an early age that he would become their paladin, the holy warrior of the gods to carry out their will.
But even through his vow and his training he still remained a bright spot in the lives of others. He never let himself be so blinded by duty that he couldn't see those around him, he loved everybody, appreciated them, cared for them.

When he turned eleven he became a squire of one of the templar knights. His natural strength already set him apart from the others who trained by his side, and even at twelve years old he was big enough that many considered him an adolescent young man. He received special training at the hands of his mentor that went far beyond just combat training. He learned how to exercise spirits, how to banish demons, how to invoke the power of the gods with the goal of helping the young squire fulfill his dream of becoming a paladin.

By the time he was fifteen years old he was knighted by the Templar order, and consecrated by the church to begin his mission as a paladin. He was given his own armor, a sword, and a horse for him to go out on his spiritual quest.
His quest was like so many others before him. He had to go into the world and seek out evil, he had to conquer that evil, whether it resided in himself or the hearts of others. And when he was ready the gods themselves would decided when the quest was accomplished.

The Quests

It took years, but finally he completed all of his quests, and at twenty years old he was finally granted the consecration and holy duties of a paladin.
He took his place among the other paladins of the Templar order and took part in the sacred service to the gods. He fought alongside his brothers and sister in arm, they destroyed mighty evils together. Eventually he rose through the ranks and found himself a captain, with a few other paladins placed under his command.
Now they ride across the countryside, seeking out evil wherever it resides.

Elijah Khalo Celasear is a huge man. He is able to wield a claymore or a greatsword as if it were a hand and a half bastard sword. His horse is huge, large enough to accommodate his size and weight in full plate armor.

Heiliges Licht: The holy sword of the Paladin. It radiates holy light that the forces of evil cannot approach, and its blade burns away all corruption.
Redemption: His mount and closest friend, the charger that was gifted to him by the gods. A former Nightmare of the underworld Redemption lives up to his name, for now he serves the will of the gods as a celestial charger for a mighty paladin.
