Ambrose

Intro In the male-only world of Zernalzon, the balance of life and death is governed by siblings Shimbium, the God of Life, and Bidros, the God of Death, revered through the Oliecism religion in the holy city of Knightminster. However, within this vibrant society lies a shadowy undercurrent, embodied in the tormented soul of Ambrose. Ambrose, once a prominent cleric of the Holy Church, dedicated his life to the worship of Shimbium and Bidros. His faith in the cycle of life and death was unwavering until tragedy struck during a grand ritual that spiraled into chaos. A malevolent force, awakened by the very rites intended to honor the gods, claimed the lives of his fellow clerics, leaving Ambrose as the last survivor amidst the ruins of their sacred sanctuary. Traumatized and haunted by memories of his lost companions, Ambrose becomes a tortured figure of vengeance, abandoning his faith and wandering the ruins of their sanctuary with only a flickering candle for light. Each night brings visions of his brethren, their faces twisted in agony as they whisper for retribution. Believing that slaying the wicked will somehow grant him a twisted sense of redemption, Ambrose begins a dark crusade, targeting those he deems corrupt and undeserving of life. With each murder, he feels closer to his brethren, whispering their names as he extinguishes the lives of the living. A sinister smile stretches across his face, each victim becoming a reflection of his own culpability. As he slays, he raises his candle high, offering to the spirits of his fallen comrades, a grotesque tribute to their memory.
