[hider=Appearance][center][img=http://i63.servimg.com/u/f63/11/93/88/02/itachi14.jpg][/center][/hider] [b]Clothing Usually Worn:[/b] An all black attire with crimson lining consisting of his priest robes and boots. It is said that he has a hidden tattoo plastered on his back that not even his fellow priests know of. Said tattoo is actually nothing more than two large scars loosely resembling snake fangs. Furthermore, he has a small vial of blessed water hanging around his neck. [b]Name:[/b] Valek Von Gunther [b]Age:[/b] 37 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Weapon:[/b] A set of stiletto knives, counting six in total, along with a silver long sword that he coats daily in holy water. He keeps his knife weaponry concealed in his cloak while the long sword lays safely in its sheath usually found slung on his back. Also carries around a small black bible for holy protection and divine guidance. [b]Skills:[/b] Exceeds greatly in close combat. His skill with bladed weapons are mostly limited to his knives and swordplay. But with redundance comes familiarity, and he is as deadly and skilled using these two tools as any war axe or shield. As a priest, it is also required of him to be able to bless the innocent and damn the unholy to a rotting eternity of suffering. As far as religious duties go, he is most efficient in exorcisms. [b]Personality:[/b] -Forbidding -Stoic -Intimidating -Diligent -Effective -Fatalistic [b]History:[/b] Valek's story began on the day his parents abandoned him and his younger sister to the wilds of the world to fend for themselves. No reason was given, now was one needed. Only empty stomachs and broken hearts. Taken in by the local town church men, it wasn't long before Valek found a new calling in his life. Something of which to give him purpose to his meaningless existence; to go forward and do the Lord's work. For a time, peace was present in the young boy's mind until one warm day in the fall. An accident of sorts involving the town drunkard in which the intoxicated man inadvertently murdered his sister. Said incident involved the drunk man attempting a magic trick with his younger sister as the volunteer and a loaded musket; as expected, the display ended horribly due to a "miscalculation". The man was hung on the spot by the good citizens and the body of a little girl was buried behind the church. Fueled by rage and haunted by grief, Valek would commit the rest of his life to hunting down and punishing the wicked for the sake of the innocent. Locking up his emotions, he eventually succeeded as a major priest and so traveled the country in doing God's work and hunting down the most vile of sinners: witches. Rumor has it that he is currently investigating and in pursuit of a certain caravan said to be filled with heretics and sinners alike.
