Eloy Brackensen Eloy Brackensen A fighter from New Tellare whose father was a fisherman and forester descended from Oreti refugees. Eloy is of average height and rather slender, with ice-white hair and rather tanned skin. Armoured in mail, he carries both a long and short sword, a shield and a longbow.
Eloy's attitude to life has rather hardened since associating with the other members of the party, and in particular he has tried to emulate Gorfang's orcish warrior ethos. He has also picked up some of the same skills as Lynien and is a member of the same Thieves' guild, based in Lossal.
While by no means as powerful a warrior as Gorfang in a straight fight, he possesses other skills which enable him to make a mark on most encounters. A legacy of his herbalist parents is a dwindling stock of a healing salve which has saved Gorfang's life on at least two occasions.
Eloy has become a member of both the Thieves' and Assassins' guilds in Lossal, Tarlanor, and the contacts and training have been useful. Several unexplained murders in the city may be his doing but there is no evidence to connect him to them. He was part of the Administration assembled around Gorfang while the latter was briefly Governor of Lossal, listed and paid as a bodyguard, but mostly using the opportunity to amass contacts and inside knowledge
After helping to expel Thykon the Blood Snake from the Pyramid of Anshenkehra, Eloy accepted gifts from the deity whose Regalia item he bears, Sabath the Enemy. All these gifts tend toward the dark, treacherous and murderous, and are something of a two-edged sword; his companions aren't always sure if they can trust him. Eloy is extremely suited to being the Bearer of Sabath's Regalia, his sly, deceitful and tricky nature matching well with the dark deity's own. He has become a wily and skilful manipulator of words and people, with tendrils of dark influence and subterfuge stretching into the most remarkable of places. As the first priest of Sabath for several thousand years, he has refounded the Church of Sabath and forged the reborn faith's creed and ceremonial from new cloth.
