Conjuror of the Mages Guild
Journeyman of the Fighters Guild
Squire of the Knights of the Dragon
Property:
A large ship, a fast riding horse, a slower wagon, bits of armor.
Debt:
None.
Background:
A High Elf stranded on the shores of High Rock, Pal has attached himself to the Mercy of Stendarr. His dream is to become a Crusader, one of the army that protects Stendarr's temples from the infidels. However, as the Crusaders are not recruiting, Pal is currently training his skills in order to become a one-man crusade. Pal loves riding and will usually traverse the city at horseback, and dangerously fast. He is secretly in love with the Breton girl Belladyssa Buckinghouse. His one dark secret is that he has secretly made a deal with the Glenmoril witches and Hircine the Daedra Prince in order to gain the strength and speed of a werewolf without losing his mind to that curse.
Pal belongs to the Armored Cleric custom class. Imagine a line from fighter via knight, via the traditional AD&D paladin to AD&D cleric. The Armored Cleric is between Paladin and Cleric. Allowed all armor except iron, steel and the evil Daedric, but wielding only blunt weapons (including hands). The Armored Cleric has healing powers and with time and practice the ability to undo the undead. He is also resistant to many health-damaging attacks and is an excellent athlete. Not the quickest learner around, though.

Playing tips: This is a robust character but advances slowly. You may have to shop around for armor since he may otherwise wear chain mail far into the game.
