Xerxes Holt

"'To be a monk is to have the patience for healing and transformation, and then to have the patience to help other heal and transform as well.'"

The Accident
Infernal rage has always boiled in the veins of Xerxes Holt, the spawn of his cursed mother. Growing up with such clear demonic ancestry, paired with the pain of an abusive father, forged Xerxes into an angry and unforgiving man. One night, he came home to see his drunken father standing over his unconscious mother. Xerxes' rage was unleashed, and his father paid the price. Rather than turn him over to the city watch, his mother sent him to live and train with the monks of the Platinum Brotherhood. Inspired by Bahamut's justice and protection, Xerxes felt at home.

Years of training at the monastery has given Xerxes the ability to manage his infernal rage. He wishes to see his mother once more, but first must complete a pilgrimage into the outside world in order to truly complete his training. Searching for quick jobs, Xerxes happened upon a gnome by the name of Jon Rawlins who was seeking members for an ambitious expedition team. Such a journey could help Xerxes fully master his anger, and could be a good first step in his long and tedious pilgrimage.
