Backstory

  • What did you do?: Zinzenel has two strikes against him, both linked to his arrogance. The first was making a deal with ancient spirits of the dead, who, while not evil, are not good. This deal transformed him into a mystically empowered warrior. The leaders of his community regarded his as showing very poor judgment, but decided to give him a second chance, including him in a strike force against fiendish activity in the mortal realms. Zinzenel’s need to have the spotlight led him to take reckless actions, resulting in the deaths of those they were trying to help. Zinzenel was clearly remorseful, but also refused to admit that he showed bad judgment or to truly take responsibility for his action. The leaders of his community have exiled him in the hopes that he will learn some humility.
  • What virtue do you value most?: Courage. Zinzenel values taking bold action to help others.
  • What do you desire? To be recognized as a great hero. Zinzenel’s motivations here are simultaneously selfish and altruistic. He genuinely wants to help others and make the cosmos a better place and is willing to risk his own life to do so. However, he also wants the fame and attention that he believes comes with being a great hero.
