Description and Background
Description:
Vorkath Tsaridian - The Faith Hunter, Guardian of the Truth, The Sword of the True God, formerly of the Iron Tribes
The Man
Vorkath, 30, stands 6', 200 lbs, black hair, blue eyes, chiseled features, muscular but not overly so, and scarred. He is quick in movement, keen of eye, a clever tactician, shrewd strategist, good of heart but occasionally overzealous in his faith. He comes from a family of blacksmiths among the Iron Tribe barbarians.

Aseus, cleric leader of the missionary group, found young Vorkath particularly receptive to the words of the True God.
Unbeknownst to Vorkath, his long-deceased grandfather had an agreement with the Order of the True God to forge the finest weapons, including several swords that were imbued with enchantments by True God followers to create Holy Swords. This relationship had faded into obscurity, only to be resurface more recently. It was part of the missionaries’ goal to strike a new agreement.
Raiders attacked the village while the missionary group was there. Vorkath's family and most of village died. With luck and plumb, young Vorkath managed to save the priest Aseus and escape into the mountains with the unconscious cleric. They hid in a cave known only to the young barbarian. Wounded, perhaps delirious, Vorkath experienced a vision. He saw a bright flash of light and a grey, hairless, sexless human with a large head and large black saucer eyes. Vorkath was held motionless as the being proclaimed itself an emissary of the True God, and pronounced Vorkath a servant of the True Faith who should s
