Asmódeum of the True Cross, the Pursuer [OPEN HERO]

Human. With 1.72 m and 86 kg (no armor), Asmódeum is a pure human of 62 years, grey hair and a very well trained body.

Faith: As a full devotee of the mad True Cross cult (+2 Wll), his magic prowess is based on faith, not Int. For MP, replace Int for Wll.

Madness Returns: True Cross believes in power above all else, and this faith drives them mad eventually. If the Int of this hero is damaged by any means, add that amount to Wll.

Conviction: Extreme physical training (+2 Con) and a mind-washing doctrine create unstoppable warriors. As such, they are immune to pain and don’t lose Wll by effect of pain.

The Truth is Power: The mad search for power leads the True Cross members to expose their bodies to cruel experiments (+1 Con). They become resistant to most natural and magical poisons. If this hero fails a poison check, repeat the check once more.

The True Cross doctrine believes Power is the Truth of the Universe. Full dominance and control should be exerted by the strong and powerful over the weak and debilitated. To be overpowered is to loose one’s life to the strongest.
Asmódeum Turlgan was one a simple farmer. Lived a hard but happy life with his wife and 3 daughters. Until there were raped and slaughtered in front of him by a group of bandits, which were turned in a pile of mauled flesh and guts by a single True Cross Lieutenant. The Lieutenant asked Asmódeum if he knew the meaning of what happened. He answered with a mixture of sadness, rage and despair: “We were weak, so we had to bend knee and lose our freedom. They were weak, so they also lost their freedom. You are strong, you are the weak’s freedom.” By listening the embodiment of the True Cross creed, the Lieutenant took Asmódeum has aprendice.
Under his tutor guidance, Asmódeum rejected his name and past, and climbed the True Cross’s ranks until became the best man-hunter of the Order. In the last years, many lost their lives, slowly, to Asmódieum’s “conversion” methods.
