Damien Lastrinheim

Damien Lastrinheim was a 19-year-old Human, soldier in the armies of the Alfaxmos Imperium, and member of the Knights Vanguard. He was murdered by the infamous pirate Janus the Sea Razor.

History
His mother having died in childbirth, Damien was raised primarily by his father, and learned the importance of manhood at a young age. Spurred on by tales of his grandfather's legendary battles against the Celestines, he joined the armies of the Alfaxmos Imperium, studying extensively at the Warmage College in Huss.

After surviving the infamous Train Attack, Damien began working for the Church, assisting the Knights Vanguard in their efforts to uncover and destroy the Black Hand.

While sailing with a group of unarmed civilians on the open sea, Damien was slain in a cowardly ambush by Janus the Sea Razor. His body rests amongst comrades in the Vanguard Cemetary outside the Cathederal in Tanis.

Characteristics
Armed and armored in surgical-clean Imperial weapons and uniforms, few were ever prepared for the young warmage. A ferverent supporter of the Imperium, Damien tended to be short and to-the-point in his interactions with people.

Forever cursed with the typical Alfaxmos sense of humor, Damien nevertheless tried his best lighten the mood when he deemed it appropriate.

Rumors

 * Damien's favorite food is scones. How strange.
 * Some say Damien was despised by Kaiser Zechshelm- but his death was officially mourned by the government, and they even offered to allow his body to lie in state at the palace in Huss.
 * A few have pointed out that Damien left Tanis 'on assignment' suspiciously quickly, after a Celestine cafe was burned to the ground. Overactive imaginations.
 * Soldiers of the Alfaxmos Imperium are renowned for their loyalty. The red-haired young woman seen with Damien must be a lucky girl, indeed.
 * Rumors persist of Damien and supposed Black Hand sympathies. A foolish notion- one can only imagine how many of the revolutionaries have fallen to his fire and morningstar.
