Who is that deaf/mute paladin?

Well, I'm Nima and I work in cathedral of Brindol. After the ceremony yesterday, almost everyone in Brindol have asked me who that mute paladin is and I'm really tired of telling the story again and again so I will just write it down.

It's not hard for me to imagine how people have failed to socialize with him in the ceremony, if you talk to him (specially if you are drunk) all you will get is angry/kind look (depending on how much he likes you and your gender of course :D ) and if you are a child maybe even a smile.

Arel doesn't really like to talk about his past, in fact, he doesn't like to talk at all. Btw, I have gathered all these information in the past few months that he has been here in very short chats that we had. Arel has been born in a far far city. His father is a senior dragon born paladin who had lots of plans for his young son. Arel's trainings in religion started as soon as he started talking. Laters, he learnt some fighting skills and basics of diplomacy. Being the only son of the senior paladin, he has always got exaggerated feedbacks from everyone about how great he is and he is always dreaming about being a great paladin like his father.

On the negative side, all Arel knows about his life is that he is supposed to serve the 'good'. He had never had the time to think about what that 'good' is. He is not intelligent enough to think about hard questions like this and he really doesn't need to. All he really needs is respect from the others and he gets that with what he is doing right now anyways.

A few years ago, like any other adult male creature, he found it difficult to live with his father in the same area. He believes that his father was humiliating him during his trainings (and he didn't liked it, specially when other paladins where around). All his requests for giving him a serious mission to serve the people got rejected by the council of paladins (guess who's behind that, his father had a nice influence there). Finally he decided that it's the time for him to proof himself. A couple of oracles helped him to predict that there is a good chance that the Red Hand repeats its attack and kill many people in Brindol and that's how he ended up here with a burning desire to serve the 'good' and proof himself (yeah, it's not deja vu, you have read this before in starwars :D) .

And a few words about his character: He is extermely anti-social. He doesn't really care about others and he thinks of them as a bunch of sheeps that he is supposed to protect. He doesn't like to have other people telling him what to do. He is not a big fan of strategic wars. He thinks that brave and honourable fighters (like himself of course) just charge into the fight and get the thing done. Specially when someone needs help, all that he knows is that he must be there, even if this results in his death.

As I said before, he just assumes that all the new peoples he meets are a bunch of weak guys (this doesn't necessary mean weakness in their fighting abilities) but once he trusts someone, he will do everything for him/her. Finally, if you are doing anything 'bad' or 'evil' make sure that he is not around.

So, that's all I know about the Paladin who seems to be one of the heros of our city (at least for a while). If you had any questions you know where to find me and please make sure he won't read this. I'm sure he wouldn't like it at all.
