Character Description:
Deregond was originally a spy for the Black Network,
operating in Waterdeep and the North; his service to Semmemon
and Dag Zoreth was principally out of fear for the lives of his
wife and daughter. With the retaking of Thornhold by the
paladins of Tyr and Torm, Deregond was caught and imprisoned for
his crimes. Recognizing that he had the potential for
redemption, the clerics of Tyr instructed their prisoner in the
Grimjaws' teachings and converted him to their faith. Deregond
became a paladin of law and cast aside his former path of
service to the Zhentarim. He fears still for his family but this
is his new life now and he takes heart that Darkhold likely
believes him dead or rotting away in a Tyrite cell.
Since joining the Daggerford Rangers, he has excelled himself
as a warrior, though his former rogue background has not quite
left him and his unorthodox views on 'honor' vs 'justice' have
demanded that the temple send one of their clerics to keep watch
on him, to make sure he does not stray back to his darker past.
Recently, he was attacked by a ghostly spirit who divided his
soul in two, creating from his sundered soul an evil twin that he
slew. He now remains a paragon of goodly virtue - but is only half
a man. Until he reclaims his evil side, now imprisoned for
eternity as one of the souls forming the wall about Kelemvor's
City of the Dead as due punishment for the Faithless, Deregond
will never be fully whole. Unfortunately, he is wracked with
indecision as to whether or not he should seek out his other half
in the nether planes, since this would be a purely self-serving
act and his duties as a paladin constrain his options. The irony
is that, were he left only with his evil half, he would not care
for such a dangerous mission of such dubious reward, but as a
goodly man, he cares greatly for his soul but cannot afford to
act. |
