Introducing Raziel Lochlan

Jonathan Lochlan was not chosen to the priesthood, he was born into it, coming from a long line of priests of Dougal.  He learned of the heroic labours of the brave heroes of Abomnikus at his fathers knee, and listened to the ballads of noble deaths at his mother’s breast.

He took to the sword fast, and was considered the most gifted student any in the monastery could recall since before the time of the iron abominations.

When he was five, he single-handedly drove off two relentless who had stumbled across he and a trio of his fellow students who had been sent on their spirit quest.  He nearly died from the wounds he suffered in that battle, but now he wears the scars on his chest as a badge of honour and a reminder to always stand vigilant against the machines.

When he turned eight, he began a squire to the Fist of Dougal (his church’s army), and after ten grueling years he has earned the mantle of “Knight in Waiting”.

On the eve of his eighteenth birthday, during the ritual of Naacht Wis Nugaar, “The Night of the Holy Vision” Jonathan dreamed that he was holding a brilliant glowing sphere, warding off a horde of mechanical monstrosities. He saw a beast large enough to blot out the sun, it opened its thousand mouths and began to sing the song that would signal the end of the world.  He looked on as the sphere glowed brighter and turned his body into pure energy.  A silence washed over the scene as all sound was absorbed by his body, and then a massive explosion of pure energy enveloped the him and the beast.  He awoke with a feeling of peace and calm, as he realized that his sacrifice would save Abomnikus and return it to an age of wonder and prosperity not seen since before the great war.

He has taken the name Raziel, after the legendary warrior who carried the secret of the old ones into battle and died a glorious death to end the great war.

Raziel now stands at the ready, prepared for the glory of the coming battle, knowing his will be a glorious death which will make Dougal himself weep with pride when he returns the abominations to the soulless hell from whence they emerged.
