((Reposting for Anho for convenience w/ stats updated))

Name: Fabian T. Miles III
Birthplace: Southern Charlemagne
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: Unknown
Affiliation: Formerly Brunwall. Currently Unaffiliated.

Personality: Fabian was once a care-free Knight who only had the King and his Country in mind. The man would stop at nothing to ensure that his people were protected from all manner of evil throughout the world. Though ever since he contracted The Curse, the man has had a slight shift in his disposition towards life. While still vowing to protect those who cannot fend for themselves, he now is much more cynical in how foes are dealt with. For the most part however, the lone Knight secludes himself from civilization. When given the chance however, he is more than happy to trade words with wandering travelers, even going so far as to offer advice and assistance in any way possible. Still, despite this, Fabian acts with a certain bit of shadiness, causing most to second guess his true motives.

Physical Description: Where there was once a handsome man beneath the well shined armor, now is only disgusting and malformed flesh. Fabian's skin is twisted and filled with all manner of disease that even the most renown healers of the world could not treat. Fortunately, the man rarely removes his clothes and armor for the sole purpose of protecting anything around him from a painfully slow death. The man's armor is noticeably rusting everywhere despite it's high quality. One thing to note is just how thick it is in general. Even bludgeoning weapons would have a difficult time beating through the mass of steel. Perhaps the one feature that makes the Knight known are the metallic antlers which jut out from the helmet. While once just a decorative piece, there are now visible pieces of dried blood and dirt coating the things. No matter how it is put, coming into contact with the protected Knight is a vile assault on the immune system and senses of anyone. He reeks of many foul things that are more than capable of causing one's stomach to reject anything sitting within it.

History: This Knight was born and bred in Brunwall to wealthy nobles who's lineage was full of honor and glory. A large house that was known for it's warriors and government officials, Fabian was destined to live a grand life from the day he was born. For the most part, this was true. Young Fabian grew up with the finest of schooling in both academics and martial combat. Greater than his brothers and sisters, the young man was easily one of his families favorites. By the time that he had earned his spurs in battle, Knight Miles was already well known in his region of Brunwall. The man would undertake any task in order to better his country, no matter how deadly.

It was during one of his adventures that The Curse within Fabian manifested itself in a horrifying way. Suddenly the man's skin was starting to peel unnaturally so, among other foul things. Consistent personal hygiene managed to counteract these things for a brief period. Though it wasn't enough. While initially under the impression that he had simply caught an infection during his travels, the Knight was shocked when he learned that it was no simple disease contracted from other lands, but the mystical powers of the unknown Curse. In learning this, he was branded by local apothecaries and church officials, as is tradition.

As quickly as fame and fortune was earned, it was nearly all stripped from the man. Instead, he was a walking abomination that might bring ruin to his home if allowed to stay. With a heavy heart, Fabian's family was forced to send their once favorite son away in order to protect all they had worked for. Understandably, Fabian was distraught initially, spiraling into a deep depression for an unknown amount of time. Eventually however, he found a new calling, one that has given the man hope once more for a better life. While no longer able to enjoy the splendors of his homeland, he has adjusted well to being a lone Knight in the world. While no longer celebrated, the man is whispered about by a few fortunate lowlives that have managed to escape his wrath. Some kind of disease filled juggernaut that has arisen from the depths of some distant swamp.

Contagion Token (I) – The Curse has taken a toll on Fabian's body in a way that most people could not imagine. He is plagued with boils, puss filled wounds, and all manner of disease that most men thought died out long ago. As such, he is immune to other natural and unnatural illnesses in the world. Going hand in hand with this however, consistent exposure to the man will infect those around him with terrible infections and viruses. Short term meetings will only result in minor coughs and ache's for the most part.

Cancerous Companion (I) – As a harbinger of the plague, some special creatures find themselves attracted to the man for some strange reason. For the most part, it extends only to the pests of the world. Rats, cockroaches, vultures, flies, and maggots are among the main creatures that find themselves accompanying the man on his journey through the lands. While mostly harmless for the most part, they are capable of carrying plague and disease with them. Which can cause horrific outbreaks in those unfortunate enough to have been bitten by the things.
