Race Human Class Cleric of Zeus Alignment Chaotic Good Band The Faithful Companions
Lorian Heibner is a cleric of Zeus who was once a thief. He grew up on a poor, crime-ridden street; his mother was taken from him when he was small, and his father - who raised him alone - was later murdered by the half-orc “King of Thieves,” Dipshane Grohav.
Bent on revenge, Lorian cornered Dipshane on the rooftop of a temple in a storm. He was beaten and dying, two fingers gone, when a bolt of lightning reduced Dipshane to ash - and then struck Lorian himself. He survived: the temple was Zeus’s own, and the god spared him, leaving a tree-shaped mark across his back and arm. Lorian spent the next seven years in that temple, becoming a cleric to put his past behind him.
Friendly, optimistic, and quick to forgive, he struggles with authority and old thieving habits. He believes Zeus saved him for a purpose, and hopes one day to learn it. He sought the Ring of Unshackled Desire in the hope it would tell him whether his kidnapped mother still lives, and how to save her.
- Ideal: Freedom is great; purpose is greater.
- Bond: I must help others who don’t see the light, as I once didn’t.
- Flaw: Old habits die hard - and authority grates on me.
