# Wally
![[wally_goodcastle.png]]
Middle-aged human man wearing common clothes, but wears chainmail underneath.
Wally is a paladin of [[Raei|The Everlight]] who always tries to talk things out with people and hates resorting to violence. However, when pressed, he can efficiently kill people while supporting his allies. He's an ordinary man with an extraordinary ability to calm people down with a few soft words.

## Backstory
### The illegitimate heir: Etherion Damurag
Etherion is the heir to [[The Damurag Family]] fortune, but testimony from "a blood mage" suggests he is illegitimate, the product of [[Crown Marshal Hayden Damurag]]'s affair with a maidservant.
(Source:: [[The Little Black Book of Bad People]])
When he began to hear voices, he was placed in the [[Vergessen Sanatorium|Vergessen Sanatorium]], possibly in small, dark spaces. The Sanatorium is an asylum of sorts for the mentally ill. He never really got over the fact that his father sent him there. Wally says Etherion "is dead now", whatever that means.
### Lost Kryn soul
[[Sabniss]], in [[051_20220531 A gift for the tiefling and a kiss in return]],** recognised him as a "lost Kryn soul".
#### The progression of [[Consecution]] madness
- Wally (as Etherion) began to have dreams of lives he's never lived.
- Wally has dreams including stars and a gray d20.
- Wally has trouble sleeping, and not even the calming tea I bought helps.
- Since [[078_20230214 Champions of the eclipse]], Wally has been able to hear voices of those around him at a level that is distracting when he's around people.
- Wally can cast *Telepathy*, since [[081_20230321 Red is for rage#^bdbece]].
#### Valas from Den Hythinos
Wally was told by the Kryn in [[051_20220531 A gift for the tiefling and a kiss in return]] that his real name was Valas from [[Den Hythenos]]. As a Kryn, he is possibly goblinkin and descended from goblins.sdfasdfasdfasd
### Other history
#### Wally was a god
Wally was briefly heralded as a god by [[The Kuo-Toa of Lebenda Swamp]], whose fervent faith granted him temporary powers.
#### Pact with [[Auntie Frieda Pigmouth]]
Wally entered into a pact with the hag named Auntie Rottongue before Scura joined the party. This is the extent of the contract:
> I Wally Goodcastle agree to that for the sound of my voice when I have retrieved Auntie Frieda Pigmouth's special favourite, lovely, darling ring from the foul clutches of stinking, awful (and not in a good way) Auntie Rottongue I will be granted the ability to message others in the same and be able to hear voices from afar. I agree this deed must be completed before the sun and moons collide. Signed and sealed with my true blood, Wally Goodcastle.
We killed [[Auntie Frieda Pigmouth]]!

- Justice.
- Changing or redeeming people. He'll always try to talk before restorting to violence.
- Peace
- *Bonds*:
- He does not like [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Cerberus Assembly|The Cerberus Assembly]]. They had something to do with him being incarcerated for as long as he was.

## Knives
*things that get them fired up*
- Losing people-- he said [[080_20230307 Zone of Music#^3545cf|folks that travel with us don't live long]] to [[Music]].
- [[Karmilla Duskbloom]]
- Being in small, dark spaces.
- Abandonment issues? [[Crown Marshal Hayden Damurag|His own father]] left him at the Sanatorium...
- Violent people and bullies
- Unrighted wrongs
- Greatest fear, as told to [[Apeilon]]: dying alone and not making any difference in the world, knowing that all of my suffering made absolutely no difference to anybody. Being alone, in the dark, separated from family and friends.
## How can I help Wally?
- Get him and [[Karmilla Duskbloom]] together, or get him someone who will reciprocate his feelings.
- Cure his [[Consecution]] madness, or stave it off for as long as possible.
- Unsure about his father, [[Crown Marshal Hayden Damurag]]-- either reconcile them or make sure that bastard never goes near Wally again.
- Protect [[Xenia Palebender|Xenia]].
## WTF is up with that?
- [ ] Do you ever want to know who Valas was? What if you have family in [[Den Hythenos]]?
- [ ] Do you really think you're not a good person most of the time?
- [ ] Tell me about your father...
- [x] Did you say anything to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Gentleman|The Gentleman]] to get us out of that situation? It seemed like he changed his mind very quickly.
