Atarax Cassel is a calculated stoic man, who is usually able to keep a level head under any circumstance. Upon fist introduction many find him cold and distant but those who get to know him soon realize his personality is quite the opposite. Atarax tends to relate to most people despite his strict piety and finds good even in people who don't follow his own moral code.
As a child, Atarax lived a privileged life within the ranks of the church of Iomedae, dreaming of someday being able to acquire the skill to fight and win fame for her glory. One day given release from the duties of training he explored the forest near the cathedral which he called his home. He stumbled upon a gruesome scene, a small female child bound and gagged and a dark and shadowy monstrous entity clearly about to feast upon her. Atarax managed to put up a fight through sheer luck against the entity with what little arms he did have, raising the alarm of those nearby with his cries, the elder warriors came to his aid and successfully defeated the foe which turned to ashes and mysteriously vanished into the ether without trace. The clerics and scholars had no explanation for the incident, beyond the fact that this was obviously a foreboding sign that agents of darkness were at work in the realm. This visceral experience instilled a deep hatred of the darkness in Atarax, inciting an unquenchable rage within him. He will stop at nothing to cleanse this world of evil.
Atarax came to Rook on assignment from his temple in the light of The Lady of Valor, Iomedae. His mission is a simple one, to act as an agent of Iomedae and investigate any evil in the city.
