Raphalor

"'A king that sits in his throne and sends his troops to fight is a ruler. A king that fights alongside his soldiers is a leader.'""-Raphalor"Raphalor Avallum I was a Human Paladin that inhabited Avaloria during the end of the Age of Light and Dark and beginning of the Age of Heroes. He was the son of Palladus Avallum II, a member of the Order of Erion and the rightful King of Avaloria. He's most known as the one who singlehandedly defeated Daemon Avallum the Usurper.

Appearance
In his youth, Raphalor had a tall build, long black hair, a short beard and the typical violet eyes of the Avallum family.

Childhood
Raphalor lived a very privileged childhood as the Prince of Avaloria, but that didn't stop him from getting interested in religion, poetry and strategy, among other things. His mother, Sarah Avallum, died when he was 12, killed by a demon, and so he had sworn to become a Paladin of Erion and protecting those he loved.

Training
At age 15 Raphalor started his training to become Paladin. His mentor was his grandfather, Argon Avallum III, and he spent five years in Phoenix Tower until he became strong enough to be promoted to Squire.

The War against Tanatos
Accompanying his father as the squire, Raphalor fought in the Battle of Arlan aiding the Brenielian Army. After the battle, he asked his father to stay in Breniel to complete his training, and his father obliged.

The Rebellion Against Daemon
As an Avalorian messenger revealed to Raphalor that Daemon Avallum had took over the throne and corrupted the Order of Erion, Raphalor returned to find a dark dystopia in the place of his beloved kingdom. Together with an underground resistance, he recovered the Phoenix Sword and stormed the Ruby Castle to defeat Daemon. He, however, let the despot live, albeit banned from Avaloria forever. Raphalor was then crowned King of Avaloria.

Hexblade
Raphalor married Mary Stonewood and had a son, Jonathan Avallum. He trained Jonathan to be a Paladin like him, following the Erionian creed. However, when he discovered that his son had sold his soul to the demon lord Zagulahr, he banished him from Avaloria. Now an antipaladin named Hexblade, Jon had sworn revenge on his father and the kingdom.

Legacy
Raphalor's influence made the Faith of Erion much more tolerant and less dogmatic, and his travels through Breniel made the religion much more influent around the locals.
