HERALDS CAMPAIGN
Todd Merrilyn
Todd Merrilyn the Brave was a Herald of Gilgahn, and member of Nemesis. He is assumed dead after the events of the 'Defence of Torrens', in battle against the Violate King.
Todd was a young halfling, gap toothed with messy brown hair and eyes. He was most known for his charming smile, devil-may-care attitude, and incredible bravery in the face of daunting odds.
This bravery usually manifested in the humble shout of the oppressed; the underfoot and the forgotten. But rarely, Todd would let out a powerful roar, best described as 'Intoxicatingly noble', which would lead those around him into a frenzy of self-disregard and utter courage.
Despite his reputation in the military, Todd wishes for nothing more than a good pipe to smoke, a garden to tend to, and a fire to sleep beside. He is incredibly devoted to his mother.
Born to a modest home of a single mother, Todd grew up an unremarkable young man, tending to the gardens of his town. When marauders came to occupy the town, kicking out the governor, Todd was the only one not consumed by fear, and threw a stone at the would be occupiers. Beaten, and forced to his knees before the 'new' governor, Todd was given a choice; apologise or die. Todd was made to stand, whereupon he threw another stone.
Beaten almost unto death, Todd was transported to an otherworldly realm. Through all the confusing images of memory and thought, only one thing kept Todd together; who was going to help his mam weed the garden?
And so Todd arose a Herald, and with his ascension the townsfolk rallied, killed the leader of the marauders, and chased the rest of his band back out into the wilderness.
Despite the calling of divinity screaming in his ears, Todd stayed home and continued to tend to his garden. Only when agents of Herald Regina arrived, searching for rumors of a Herald, did Todd reveal himself to the incredulous agents. Initially unconvinced to join taskforce Nemesis, Todd agreed when he realised this 'Violate King' would destroy all gardens and all the good in the world with them.
Having now served for a year in TAERA, Todd has become the mascot of the alliance; he is a friend at every fire, and is quick to share a song or story, bringing comfort and peace of mind to those fearing what doom the near future brings...
