History: Early in life, Delos was small for his
age and often chased by bullies through the
streets of the large city he called home. He got in
fights every day and finally left home as a teenager
to seek his fortune. Soon, he came upon a small
village terrorized by an ogre named Garik. Garik
regularly raided the village, taking what he wanted
and beating anyone opposing him to death. Delos
stood up to the huge creature and fought him off
with a tree branch. A wandering paladin, also
responding to the village’s plight, witnessed this
bravery and Delos’ incredible speed, and offered
to take him into his order as a squire. After
traveling with the paladin and becoming impressed
with his selflessness, the order accepted Delos as
a member.
Some time later, when his liege died in battle,
Delos began to feel pain whenever evil came near,
and became a sensate. He has left the paladin
order, and now wanders the world, looking for a
powerful psion to help him deal with his abilities.
So far, none have been able to help, but he has
gained numerous contacts in the psionic
underworld, and has a mentor of sorts who
occasionally scribes psionic tattoos for him. Delos
dislikes cities, but haunts them anyway, always in
search of someone who can explain his abilities,
and possibly offer a cure.
Appearance: Delos is a thin man, appearing
over thirty even though he is in his twenties, who
nearly always wears a pained expression when in
populated areas, due to his sensitivity to evil.
Delos conceals his mithral shirt under voluminous
cloaks and robes, and often poses as a traveling
wizard or sage. His numerous tattoos are more
difficult to conceal, and often mark him as a
stranger.
Personality: Delos’ personality is like that of
a kind, cheerful man who happens to have a
headache. Fits of irritability and impatience spoil
his otherwise benevolent nature. He is always
fighting to suppress the constant pain of evil auras.
Using Delos: Delos can be used as a cohort
by a psion or paladin, or as a source of information
in a city. He is especially good at finding strong
sources of tangible evil, such as evil outsiders or
spellcasters.
Delos might come to the player characters for
help if an evil too powerful for him to fight is
nearby.
