Did you hear? [ KALSTEN โKALโ ULFHART ] is in town. A [ HUMAN ], I hear that theyโre a [ TEMPLAR LIEUTENANT ], rather impressive considering theyโre [ TWENTY-EIGHT ] years old. Their friends say that theyโre pretty [ DEPENDABLE ], but Iโve heard rumors that theyโre also [ UNYIELDING ]. It might just be me, but they remind me of [ A TORN FAMILY CREST, SCRATCHES ACROSS A LEATHER PLATE, OATHS MUTTERED UNDER THE OAK ]. I wonder what side theyโll choose in the upcoming conflict.

full backstory tbd pending player discussions but !!! the brunt of things is:
raised in a very family, duty, honour environment, with strict precepts about what the world should look like and how men should behave in it under the law of their Gods
obviously magic was a no go because the Ulfharts are just Boringโข and repressed like that, so he learned to suspect anything out of the ordinary and committed himself to rooting it out - not from fear or even genuine hatred, but as a sort of mercy killing in the hope that it will return erethide to the way it was before
this wholeย โholy soldierโ upbringing routine really left both his worldview and his self-perception narrow as all fucks
seriously, this man has had a grand total of ( 3 ) experiences and theyโre all related to direct combat
heโs good at fighting tho
like, seriously good at fightingย
when he was young he though the could coast by on battle prowess alone, what with frosthold being a military enclave and all, but he soon realised he couldnโt hack it at politics and stomach the compromises being an heir entailed (like, talking to elves? reaching agreements with mages? no thank you)
his family practically did him the good favour of ushering him off to the templars before he could cause a civil scandal
heโs been there for the past ? 8 years almost ? in that time, heโs been forced to actually develop other branches of his few precious braincells, like administrative skills (hard running a company) and subtlety. basically, all the commanding traits required to bring his men under heel when necessary
he sees the order as his true family, as he could never really connect with his parents (the ulfharts havenโt communicated an emotion since divinity still walked the earth)
donโt ask him about his younger brother
seriously, donโt
probably dislikes rich people and greater nobles, whom he sees as overly fond of a little thing called power abuse, and is generally a champion of the people provided theyโre wiling to follow the Gods and renounce magic (yikes bro)ย
did i say repressed???? well iโm saying it again

something to shake his confidence in the order!!!!! (BIG VIBES)
a mage saving his life/saving someone close to him/unlikely allies for a greater cause
a catalyst incident that forces him to be the saviour, not in that vague templar way but actually risking his life on his own for a purpose he may not even be certain of
family reunion!!!!
frosthold childhood friends reunion!!!!!
being forced to go back to frosthold to defend something/someone!
strange darkling tidings?????? whispers on the horizon?? the order asking him to go in search for answers to a scholar that might know more about this danger?
battle companions who have seen the best and worst in one another and decide to stand together because of it, not despite :โ)))) (iโm weak for 1 trope and 1 trope only okay)
โthere was only one bedโ
he wouldnโt exactly nosedive headfirst into a torrid affair because heโs just not that Hot Boy Summer type, but I would love to have something/someone that might endanger his dedication to the Order
