Hexblade

"'I'm like you, father. I'll do whathever it takes to do what's right... except I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.'""-Hexblade"Prince Jonathan Avallum I, also known as Hexblade, was the firstborn son of King Raphalor Avallum and a Paladin, before betraying his creed and selling his soul to the demon lord Zagulahr.

Appearance
Jon looked a lot like his father at his youth; tall, muscular, long black hair and violet eyes that gave away his Avallum origins. After turning into Hexblade, his skin got paler and his eyes lost all of their colors.

Early Life
Jon was born into the Avalorian Royal family, son of the King and heir to the throne. At age 15 he started his training to join the Paladin Order of Erion, with his father as mentor. A very skilled swordsman, Jon quickly showed himself a great warrior, although a bit stubborn at times.

Gwendolyn
During one of his first missions as a Paladin, Jon met Gwendolyn Wyldeoak, the Lord of Seacliff's daughter. The two fell in love, with plans to marry in the future; plans that were quickly destroyed when a dragon killed his bride.

Descent Into Darkness
Tormented by grief, Jon made it his life mission to find a way to bring her back to the world of the living. Although Raphalor tried hard to dissuade his son, claiming only Erion had the power over life and death, he continued his search, from ancient spells to rare artifacts, but nothing seemed to work. Until he found a forbidden ritual to summon Zagulahr, and sworn allegiance to the Demon Lord in exchange for his beloved Gwen. When he realized that the woman the fiend brought back wasn't his love but an empty, souless casket, it was too late: he had betrayed the Faith of Erion and was a slave to Zagulahr.

Banishment and Revenge
When Raphalor found out about the bargain, he was taken by anger, banishing his son and excommunicating him from the Order. Mad because of his father's forsaking and dominated by the darkness that the demon cast upon him, he swore to kill Raphalor and destroy Avaloria and the Paladins once and for all.
