[u]Personality[/u]: [u]The Leper King[/u]

A learned man - compassionate and wise beyond his years - Baldwin wants for nothing but a full stomach and a better world. Lucky to have been born to royalty, he lost himself in dusty tomes of philosophical conjecture and moth-eaten volumes of poetry, fostering a one-sided love for the simple beauty of the world. Although his illness weakened his body, it strengthened his conviction in turn. Devoted to the desperate few who have remained steadfast in their love for the world as he has, Baldwin works tirelessly to purge malevolence wherever it may take root. Knowing his every haggard breath draws him closer to death's door, Baldwin welcomes it with open arms, ready to meet his maker with no regret nor remorse in his heart.

[u]Equipment[/u]: [u]Arms of the Indomitable[/u]

Driven to violent action by the venomous words and whispered plots of his noble peers, Baldwin encased his dying body in a fortress of bronze and studded leather, and armed himself with an executioner's sword. The dents in his hardened cuirass keep memories of battles both won and lost fresh in his mind, and the broken blade of his sword reminds him why they were fought.

[u]The last treasures of a King[/u]

Baldwin carries a collection of disparate keepsakes wherever he goes which fuel the flickering fire in his heart. True to the spirit of a poet, he carries first and foremost a tin flute. Though his bronze visage is an unwelcome sight in the lands through which he travels, his music brings comfort; hope is contagious once it catches. A lover of nature, Baldwin keeps a single preserved flower with him, and a seashell from a faraway land. Remembering the azure oceans and blooming meadows fills Baldwin with life.

[u]Attributes[/u]: When pain is accepted, strength flows in abundance.

Taking his condition in stride, Baldwin is a resilient and powerful man. Armoured to the teeth, the Leper can withstand an absurd amount of punishment without falter, and even mend his own wounds with exotic medicines and sheer force of will. His armour is like a second skin for him, and he moves very comfortably dressed in it, and despite the immense weight, can still exert superhuman strength. Only so much can be done about his leprosy, however, which has claimed the lion's share of his dexterity and sight. With poor eyesight and slow reflexes, Baldwin's sword-arm is guided by faith, and his legs are burdened with the weight of his metal skin. Opting out of maneuverability, endurance is Baldwin's strong suit.
