He made enough money to keep his wife back home comfortable in preparation for the birth of their child. Unfortunately he was away most of the time on one voyage or another. He missed the birth of his daughter, but when he was home with them he made the most of his time. He was content with his life until Hell came to Earth. With it came abominations and ruin, and those who worshipped the beasts crawled from the shadows like mad dogs. These same mad dogs butchered his wife and daughter for some perverse ritual. That was the day Alistair snapped. He suddenly knew he had to find the Herald. She would bring his wife and daughter back to him. She would right all the wrongs with the world now. He left his simple home behind, selling anything of value that he would part with and poured what money he had into funding his travels. He used what connections he made while sailing to meet the right people and soon expanded what small web he had at first. He hunted any clue, any whisper he heard of the Herald or strange occult rituals. He became obsessed with finding the hidden truths behind the rituals so he would be the one to find the Herald and beg her to right the wrongs. He met others like him on his travels, those who lost people to groups of men-turned-beast who performed rituals by sacrificing others. Three individuals in particular chose to follow his example and dedicated themselves to finding any clues in Alistair’s name and report to him via dead drops spread throughout the land. They also leave him resources of varying degree in these dead drops to aid him in his journey.[/color] [Center][img]https://i.imgur.com/owFUFEs.png[/img][/center] [color=a8a8a8]Greed and Envy are perhaps the closest of the Sins. They tend to walk hand-in-hand when they visit the mortals and tempt them. They once visited Alistair; they drove him toward working on the merchant vessel. They disguised themselves as comfort and stability for his pregnant wife. He believed their lies, going on any voyage proposed, spending time away from his wife, missing the birth of his daughter and then most of her life; all because he wanted to provide for them. His sins fitted him with blinders when he discovered the vessel he worked on was involved with smuggling. The extra money the vessel earned went to his family and their comfort, so where was the harm? While he worked, his family never feared empty bellies or discomfort, but none of that mattered when he was away on another voyage and the crazed men came. They revelled in the Hell brought to Earth and began performing blood oaths and rituals. They came upon Alistair’s family and made them the next sacrifices used as fuel for their perverse practices. If not for his obsession with giving his family what he believed was most important rather than actually being with them, he would have perhaps been able to protect them from their fate. Now, he seeks forgiveness by seeking the Herald so he can beg her to bring them back and bring light back to the world he knew.

[*][b][u]Guile[/u] -[/b] Alistair is clever when it comes to solving problems and dealing with unsavory individuals in such a way that he need not face them head on. He faces threats though methods such as: ambush, poison, or merely avoidance of necessary.
