Trent

Trent is the protagonist of The Broken Pact. He was a Paladin during the time of the First Pantheon who served under the Seraph Ren.

Early Life
Trent was born the second son of a poor family that lived in the slums of outer Illux. His older brother, Terric, often spent time taking care of him when his mother could not. One day their mother got sick and eventually succumbed to her illness, leaving the boys in the care of their cruel father. It wasn't long before their father remarried abd began having more children with his new wife. Once this happened he kicked the two boys out onto the street where they lived until they were taken in by the kind woman Elise.

During a raid on the City of Light by a horde of Demons, Terric was killed, leaving Trent alone in the world. Trent grew up quickly after this, vowing that some day he would join the ranls of the Paladins and avenge his brothers death.

As soon as he was old enough, Trent began the rigorous training to become a Paladin. While in training he became fast friends with Devin and Gil. All three men excelled and quickly found themselves initiated into the ranls of the Paladins.

During The Broken Pact
Trent, with Devin by his side, quickly became one of the greatest Paladins that the order had seen in some time. His prowess in battle was due in no small part to his undying hatred for the forces of darkness as a result of his brothers death. He quickly rose in the favor of the new Seraph, the Lady Ren, whom he had begun to develop feelings for. During his rapid ascension he made enemies with veteran Paladin Castille, who viewed his favor with Ren as a threat to his own power.

Trent and Devin are sent on a ranging mission into The Wilderness to discern why enemy activity has fallen to an all time low. On their way they stop off at the village that Gil is stationed at where they remenisce about old times and discuss their fears. After leaving the village they travel for days before coming across a large band of Accursed and Demons heading to the west. They follow this band for several days before realizing that they are gathering an army near the Great Chasm. Trent and Devin decide to return to Illux to warn the Seraph. On their way back they are attacked by a group of Accursed and a single Demon. Trent is forced to call upon the Goddess Arra for aid when Devin is almost killed. They make it back to the city just barely alive.

Upon returning to the city Trent and Devin are promoted to commanders of the army second only to Ren for the coming battle. The army is mustered and they leave the city in the hopes to catch the enemy before it reaches the closest villages. When they finally meet the enmey forces Trent attempts to stay as close as he can to Ren in order to keep her safe, but she finds herself separated from him more than once.

After the battle seems to be going well for the forces of light the tide changes when Akklor the Unbidden arrives and begins slaughtering the army. During this struggle Devin is killed by the Divine Beast sending Trent into a rage that results in the monsters death. Trent is mortally wounded by the event and lies dying until Ren expends most of her power to save him.

The army enters into a full retreat as a result of their losses with the forces of darkness following quickly behind them. Ren musters the troops and the army turns for one final battle. Trent gets separated from her again, and she is challenged by the Herald to do battle. He quickly bests her and commands her troops to bow down and worship the Fallen One. Trent resists and rushes to her aid, calling for those still faithful to join him. During his approach he is forced to kill a fellow Paladin who rises to stop him.

Arra descends from the Divine Plane and kills the Herald, taking Ren back to the skies with her. As she leaves the Mortal Plane she curses those who were unfaithful and they begin to transform into horrific beasts. Arra then singles out Trent and makes him begin a transformation as well.
