Konrad

Witch Hunter of the Deathwatch
NPC, Witch Hunter

Konrad is a tormented and haunted field agent of the Deathwatch, an order of witch hunters. Once leading a seemingly regular life with a wife and child, he was deeply devoted to his local church, entrusted with handling their secret and unholy adversaries. Konrad was known for his relentless pursuit of monsters, banishing hauntings, and putting an end to curses, executing those deemed evil or tainted by unholy magic.

However, his life took a devastating turn when the church ordered him to eliminate a family accused of being tainted by unholy magic. To his horror, he discovered that the condemned family was none other than his own. Desperate to save his loved ones, Konrad pleaded with the church to reconsider and called for an investigation by the Deathwatch to challenge the proof presented by the church.

Despite his pleas, the church remained steadfast, forcing Konrad to watch helplessly as his wife and child were burned alive at the stake in the town center. The trauma of that day buried deep within him, festering like a wound that refuses to heal. Months later, Inquisitor Solovin Dawn revealed the truth to Konrad: his wife and child were innocent victims, wrongly accused due to the church's deception by an unholy individual who had since vanished from the town.

The revelation shattered Konrad's faith and trust in religious institutions. He now harbors a deep disdain and profound distrust towards any religious group, similar to his abhorrence of monsters and creatures of undeath. Haunted by visions and tormented by the voices of his dead wife and child, Konrad finds himself trapped in a perpetual state of grief and rage.

Driven by a burning desire for justice and redemption, Konrad now works closely under the direct command of Inquisitor Solovin Dawn. He seeks to uncover the truth, to expose the corruption within the church that tore his family apart and to ensure that innocent lives are not unjustly taken in the name of religion. Konrad's journey is one of vengeance, wrestling with his own demons while battling the forces of darkness that threaten the world he once believed in.
