Backstory:
An assassin dispatched to remove political obstacles to what their handlers view as progress (i.e. foreign powers and their conflicting religions, etc.), using the guise of a simple traveling acolyte for infiltration purposes. Will often integrate themself into groups and armies to make reaching their target easier and will depart those parties in the shadows just as quickly they joined. They were a late-“adopted” orphan - what they thought was finally the hope of a loving, caring family rescuing them from the monastery turned out to be the event that broke their psyche entirely, causing them to have no sense of attachment beyond taking orders from their new masters and putting on whatever appearance and emotion is needed to prevent others from suspecting they aren’t an acolyte.

- @SD9000
Name:
Yonniak

Class:
Ideally: Deserter (Lance) -> Crusader [Sergeant] (Lance, Sword)
Vanilla FE8: Wyvern Rider

Backstory:
Formerly a pious soldier, he fell out of faith in his religion over the countless wars that they were always embroiled in. Without the guiding purposes he previously had, he fell into depression and lost most of his worldly possessions. An opportunistic businessman found him in the corner of an abandoned building and, seeing someone of a rugged physique, decided to exploit the down-and-out man by sponsoring him to go to an arena to fight for coin. His military training came to great effect in his career in as a pit fighter, rising from the lowly penny arenas in the surrounding slums to the city’s center coliseum. Surviving the grueling bouts gave him purpose as well as a drive to keep on fighting - it seems that he was never able to get away from it after all. He has begun taking up religious practices again in the hopes that he could find safety and hope in his bouts, reflection in his life’s actions, and forgiveness for abandoning his faith all of those years ago.
