Paladin Homer

Return to Characters
First Knight of the Matron, Paladin Homer was, like most Paladins, an orphan raised by the Church of the Goddess' Hand from his youth. His strong will and upstanding character was apparent from an early age, and he was selected to squire and train as a knight under Saint Matthews the Wise, First Knight of the Daughter, and then Knight Commander of Oswick.

Homer was a dedicated student, and Matthews himself commended the young warrior for his bravery and valor on the many missions the two had undertaken for the Church. Homer was formally inducted into the ranks of the Paladins under the Matron at age 21. Surviving the process known as "The Divine Branding", Homer quickly rose through the ranks to become the First Knight under the Matron, though only shortly before his mentor, Matthews, passed away.

Under the direction of the new Knight Commander, Guildenstern, the First Knight under the Empress; Homer was directed to sail across the Fabian Sea to the land of Regalia and aid the Church and its "Divinely" appointed King, Uthar Banngryph, in establishing a proper Kingdom with the Goddess' Hand as its central religion.

Since arriving in Regalia, Homer has once again established himself as a Hero and slayer of Monsters. However, he has frequently found himself at odds with the Clergy's appointed Cardinal, Winston the White, in how to handle the resistance in the East of Regalia, and he frequently finds the Cardinals methods to be less than noble. Though he is honor bound to fulfill his duty to the Church, his first loyalty is forever to that of the Divine Mother and all of her children.
