Edgar (Ichar) Green

Edgar Green is a Scourge Aasimar Paladin and blacksmith, who travelled back to the Sword Coast after learning of his heritage during the events of DDaC 2. He formerly worked for the Sons of Tyr in his personal vanguard known as the Heaven Hounds, which was assigned to him as a joke by his captain Martin Tamaros. He works as the Party's Paladin, bearer of the Sentinel Dragonmark, and optimistic mute.

Early Life and Background
Edgar began his life hidden from the apocalypse in the year 1516 DR, born to the Angel of Self Sacrifice Luminel and Emily Green, a survivor of the war torn lands. He began his life peaceful and isolated, unaware of his heritage and fate. He commonly dreamed of having wings, and grew with his pet dog Loyalty. At age 13 Edgar lost his companion, which inspired him to take up his father's mantle and become a blacksmith, taking out his sorrows in forging a pair of Mithril longswords which would later be known as Whirling and Waltz. Edgar also left home with a black and red checkered scarf and a locket that contained a prayer.

He eventually decided he would devote his life to a Paladin Oath, under the banner of the Sons of Tyr. Edgar fought as a somewhat skilled footsolider, and caught the eye of his leader Martin Tamaros. Martin ended up disliking Edgar, teaching him to use two longswords instead of a shield, in hopes it would one day lead to his death. Despite this, Edgar persevered and was able fight his way up the Sword Coast from Neverwinter to Ten Towns. He ended up being promoted to captain and led twenty men on a scouting mission across Reghed Glacier.

The scouting mission would later be known as the Fall of the Heaven Hounds, where on Edgar's birthday his celestial powers activated to save his life from demons. This ended up incinerating his men, the surrounding demons, a demon that would come to be known as the White Minotaur, and himself. He died on that hill but was brought back by his uncle, who led him on a quest as a Warlock. His uncle also resurrected Edgar's family dog, Loyalty, after Edgar was offered the option of an angelic weapon, a tome of knowledge, or the life of his childhood friend. After that day he ran away for 5 years and was chased by Martin. During those years he confined himself to his armor, becoming a faceless, mute wanderer.

He later joined Revaan's mercenaries in the events of DDaC 2, and as of yet none of the Party, including the similarly faceless Revaan, knows any identifying features of Edgar besides his name and optimistic perspective on second chances and perseverance.

Appearance
Though most of his appearance is unknown, in the short story Kindling he is identified as having curly white hair and golden eyes. His eyes remain his only feature seen by the Party besides his left hand, which has been marked with the Sentinel Dragonmark and is notably covered in black and pink burns, which carve down to the bone. He stands 5' 10" and at 150 lbs, and is assumedly fairly well built. His armor is a mithril masterwork, with the helmet bearing resemblance to a close helm. He wears a black and red checkered scarf on his neck which conceals a locket. He also carries two shovels, which he has occasionally used as weapons. At his side is his hound Loyalty, who was resurrected by Adamiel in 1534 DR.

Abilities
Edgar is physically strong and fast, and quick witted enough to survive though not very experienced or wise. He carries Paladin abilities such as smiting and healing wounds, as well as a characteristically large amount of spells from his 5 years as a Warlock. He dual wields his two longswords, Whirling and Waltz that he uses in his own specialized technique.

Also aiding him is his celestial heritage, which allows him to activate his Radiant Consumption, an all consuming conflagration that chars both him and those near him with radiant burns. He's taken a liking to the idea of self-sacrifice, and is willing to give his own life for others to the point of idiotic recklessness.

He bears the Dragonmark of the Sentinel on his left hand which he can use to take the damage of those around him and shield himself from harm. It also makes him more perceptive than usual, able to detect lies and see greater distances.

Personality
Edgar is an optimist, firmly believing that there is good in the world that needs to reveal itself and fight. Though ironically, he refuses to let himself leave his armor and is very shy and self conscious of his face. The Fall of the Heaven Hounds led to Edgar becoming a bit of an introvert, and the fact that he hasn't spoken in 5 years shows this in full force.

Relationships
Edgar has relationships with most of Revaan's mercenaries. Most of the party views him as reliable and kind, though still a bit of an enigma:


 * Revaan: They trust eachother based on a respect of privacy and unwillingness to show their faces. Their conversations are generally brief, but they are probably the most morally good characters of the Party.
 * Tolgrim: Edgar and Tolgrim rarely chat, of course. Their relationship is not well founded outside of the battlefield, but the second an enemy appears they work together in a fit of jolly cooperation that is strangely wholesome. Edgar often cast's support spells on him and he works within his Radiant Consumption
 * Inizziv: They function together somewhat well. In a similar way to Tolgrim their relationship is founded in combat, where Inizziv has found it is beneficial to support Edgar's swiftness. Out of combat, Inizziv intrigues Edgar, as the other and more experienced Warlock of the group and someone who certainly knows more about Edgar's magic.
 * Egram: Out of all of Edgar's relationships, Edgar and Egram probably get along the best out of combat. They work together as blacksmiths and have a very strong bond over armor.
 * Azrel: Edgar is the least open to Azrel, as so far they haven't had much to talk about. She trusts him to help with the Wyverns and in combat they often work side by side. Their relationship will probably get more interesting as both of their relations to Mount Celestia deepen.

Before he became the man he is, in his early life he also had a few relationships:


 * Luminel: Edgar's father who went by the name of Isaac Green for as long as he was raised. As one of the twenty four Solars, he is the Angel of Self-Sacrifice, who ironically enough never sacrificed himself and became a blacksmith. He and his son bonded over smithing and sword-fighting, eventually his teachings found their way into Edgar's moral code of honor and humility. For his childhood Edgar never knew his father's angelhood or his mother's past.
 * Emily Green: Edgar's mother isn't a very well known character, and only hints of her story are shown in Kindling. It is understood she knows about magic, and knit Edgar's scarf of protection to keep him safe. She is a former victim of the apocalypses that scourged the Sword Coast. She tried to stop Edgar from becoming a Paladin to protect him, as he reminds her of her dead siblings. Edgar himself looks up to her fondly and feels he overlooked her in childhood, seeking to apologize when he comes home.
 * Loyalty: Edgar's reliable companion throughout both his childhood and adulthood. Loyalty is the only character to know what Edgar's face looks like after the Fall of the Heaven Hounds, he is known to be a Neverwinter Hound. He and Edgar are the closest of all the Aasimar's relationships, spanning far beyond friendship into a reliability for their lives.
 * Martin Tamaros: Edgar's captain for 3 years, there was a deep seated hatred between the two. Martin believes Edgar shouldn't have taken the Oath of Vengeance because he hadn't suffered enough to be worthy of it. Edgar thinks Martin is stuck up but generally tries to live and let live. Eventually a very one sided rivalry where Martin hunted Edgar for 5 years across the Anauroch Desert for the death of Heaven Hounds.
 * Adamiel: Edgar's uncle and warlock patron, Adamiel acts as his guardian angel and dream guide. Though they haven't met in person, Adam is known to be a Planetar Angel. He is very laid back in nature and has a very relaxed attitude towards his nephew, though Edgar thinks he should take his job more seriously.

Quotes
Though mute, Edgar has made one charcoal filled quote during the campaign and a few in his past during Martin's Crusade


 * "When faced with the choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil. Ordinary foes may win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not. My qualms will not get in the way of exterminating my foes. If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them and I must help those harmed by their misdeeds." (Edgar Green swearing the Oath of Vengeance)
 * "I owe a drink to any man that brings me that banner!" (Edgar Green attempting to boost the morale of his troops)
 * "We'll do it. The Heaven Hounds will do it." (Edgar Green about two hours before all twenty Heaven Hounds died)
 * "AAAARRRGGHGHHHHHH!!!" (Edgar Green being hit in the face by Blagothkus)
 * "..." (The average conversation with Edgar)
 * "It's duty, we all have sacrifices to make." (Edgar Green attempting to stop Azrel from avenging Tabris)

Trivia

 * It is unknown whether or not Edgar likes tacos.
 * Edgar uses his swords in a dual wield fashion, in the short story Fall of the Heaven Hounds, it is confirmed that he keeps Whirling in wrath guard (rested on the shoulder behind the head) and Waltz in longpoint (pointed up at the opponent). By doing this he crosses off overly aggressive opponents and always has a means of punishing poor decision making. While using Radiant Consumption, Edgar is mostly blind and abandons combat strategy for a sheer offensive style.
