Adler Fleisch
Adler Fleisch is an Old Faith Mage, a member of the Cult of Lamashtu and serves the demon, Lamashtu, during the Dark Ages.
Background
Fleisch wasn't very good at doing what people demanded of him. As a knight outside Magdeburg, he didn't approve of being called up to war, didn't care for currying horses or sharpening blades and ultimately attended to his own business. Unfortunately, his own business included thieving precious items while their owners were away in skirmishes and wars. Adler was lazy and overconfident and was caught one day. The town sentenced him to be stoned in the center of his small village, Rotfeld. He had no intention of suffering such a fate and set out in the world as a sort of journeyman, making whatever coin he could through meager tasks, winnowing any fortune he could make on a stolid, blissful existence. Some of this changed a few years after stumbling into the Holy Land. After spending a few weeks on the isle of Cyprus, he ate some bad lamb and almost died on the rocky beach. Lamashtu called to him and promised him life and bliss once more, and he decided that he little left to lose. While he still doesn't enjoy the prospect of being told what to do, he recognizes that he's serving a power greater than himself who granted him life. His magic is a means to an end, and any spiritual affiliation he previously held was a lie. Now, at the very least, he believes in Lamashtu and what she can offer him.
Image
Adler is nondescript, tousled brown hair and dark eyes. His skin is tanned enough to blend in with the Arabic culture, and yet he's still white enough to pass among Northerners. He keeps his shoulders slumped and his head down, but his eyes are always up, keeping his gaze firmly fixed on his surroundings.
