Sentinel

An Oath of the Crown paladin sworn to a city long-dead and ruined, turned wanderer.

Sentinel was a character I played in a Mines of Phandelver game, who just happened to be transported on the exact wagon the party was. Cue goblin attack which activated their defense protocols, and shenanigans ensue. Sentinel had originally been shipped there in the hopes that a local mechanic was capable of fixing the warforged, but was unsuccessful. The core is filled with soul matter, but a taint of trauma has snuck in, causing occasional erratic behaviour. Unfortunately, anybody who knew how the Sentinel's were built is long dead. They are a very literal person, always choosing the straightest path (and getting the entire party lost with their lacking GPS on several occasions), always following their code, which dictates who to protect and who is an enemy. An imperfect, biased algorithm, that usually prioritised humans to the detriment of others. Perhaps I'll talk more about MPC's warforged another time, since Sentinel is modelled on how I do them in my homebrew world.
