Appearance: Relatively tall man. Putting aside the gray hair he has a young face. Also wearing a full suit of armor, complete with a shield carried on his back. Sword at his side, and you almost have a cliché knight.

Equipment
Mythril Full-Plate - Strong armor used for defending. It also is light [comfy] and easier to cast in [wear]. Includes Gauntlets.
Mythril Light Steel Shield - A light shield that virtually has no hindrance to casting.
Enchanted Longsword - An important sword Kaer has used for years. Time tested to be able to aid his attacking or defending. It's made of Ademantium. The sword holds a bit of history, as it was originally a sword crafted by Kaer's father, and given to Kaer's mother many, many years ago. She used the sword for many years before all but retiring from Paladin duties, and passing the blade onto Kaer.
Misc Supplies
Rope: Used for grapple-hooking as well as constricting the movement of people to be brought to justice.
Grapple hook: Used in conjunction with rope for climbing, as we all know climbing and jumping in armor is hard enough.
Masterwork Artisan tools: Used for crafting, and crafting well.
Background
- Earlier Years
Kaer was born in a relatively medium sized city in North Eastern Riscana called Lajourin. He was born into the family of a prominent blacksmith, and an esteemed paladin, Alex and Sara Galnic (Parents’ professions and names given respectively). While having his father teach him to craft, Kaer picked up proficiency with multiple weapons and armor. Although he was partially expected to follow in his mother’s footsteps and rise among the rants of paladins, Kaer happened to find a random (convenient!) Library of Lucion in town one day. After talking to a few wizards, at around the age of 13 Kaer began learning the arcane arts. Where you think a Paladin of Dizal might not fully agree with her son following Lucion, however Sara saw no problem, as even at this age Kaer had already developed a strong sense of justice, which would only grow into something that would make Sara proud.
After studying in the Library of Lucion for about three years, at age 16 Kaer had hit a slump in his learning. As the years went by, he only further became a better smith, he knew how to use most weapons (favoring a simple longsword best), and a good grasp on the Arcane. He was beginning to learn the skills of using arcane magic to empower his weapon, but had hit a slump. This was not to last for too long, though. One day, while his mother was out and Kaer was at home reading, and a man came complaining of a cliché circumstance in the forest with wild animals attacking people, and in this case, there was also a Bugbear mugging people, and actually held a family member of this man hostage, and was more than likely going to kill / eat / whatever them. Not allowing this injustice to stand, Kaer decided his mother would forgive him for using her sword, and went off to fight this Bugbear.
- Spellsword and the Enforcers
Initially being ambushed by the Bugbear, Kaer ended up defeating it, citing that his “burning passion for justice alone was strong enough to defeat this enemy.” Regardless of justification, after defeating this Bugbear while keeping true to his mother’s challenge, Kaer made the connection he needed, and after reading the book “The Art of Spellswording -- Casting While Wearing a Lead Sheet” began to learn in the way of the Spellsword. Both parents were not disappointed at all, as not only was Kaer making using of his mother’s sword (He was essentially given the sword after his defeating of the Bugbear), which hadn’t been wielded too much for a few years, but also his father’s craft of steel, as well as Kaer’s own talent for the arcane. Over the next few years, Kaer studied this art using the book as his guide, while still continuing to advance in his talent with the sword, as well as his longtime crafting skill. He studied this way until acquiring the equipment he uses now, which were initially crafted by his father, before getting their magical enhancements. With his mother’s sword in hand, and equipped with the shield and armor crafted specifically for him by his father, at age 20 Kaer left his home town of Lajourin to go in search of a group that he had heard of from people at the Library of Lucion -- The Full Moon Enforcers.
To find the Full Moon Enforcers, Kaer began traveling around, hopping from Library to Library, seeking information. After a few months of search, luck would have it Kaer would be at the right place at the right time to run into a group of Full Moon Enforcers, one of them present being Geon. After talking to Geon for a short while, Kaer went to travel with the Full Moon Enforcers, to ultimately join their fight against unreality. However, besides just battling unreality, Kaer never would forget his roots, and would keep on fighting for what his parents brought him up to see was just.
Since joining, Kaer has shifted his focus from the art of Spellsword to improving his magical talent proper, by learning the ways of the Eldritch knight. It’s in his plans to finish becoming a better all-around wizard before he returns to finishing off his complete mastery of the Spellsword.
Relations
NPCs
Sara Galnic - Kaer’s mother, Paladin of Dizal, and probably highly respected. She was in sense a guard for the town of Lajourin. Has not seen since he left to join the enforcers.
Alex Galnic - Kaer’s father. Respected blacksmith, and a master of his trade. He taught Kaer what he knows in regards of crafting, a skill with Kaer is quiet talented in. Has not seen since he left to join the enforcers.
Geon - (To be added later)
PCs
Aelis - Kaer sees her as an odd one, this one. She seems to be the most normal of the group, for some reason. Someday, this image quite possibly will be shattered in the most glorious way possible.
Aknier - After initially being unsure of Aknier, Kaer grows more impressed with him each day. A Cleric and Arcanist makes for an interesting person, and he seems to be pretty just, too.
Arciel - From what Kaer saw, she showed little more than being a true professional at what she did. He however never had an opertunity to speak to her much.
Dante - Dante's an enigma, that is for sure. While he can't agree with Dante at all times, he holds respect for a person who can live their life like that, but still do what seems to be the right thing. This doesn't mean Kaer can stop keeping an often worried eye on Dante.
Dagnir - In part because of his extreme neutrality, this druid bothers Kaer, however his intent has never seemed to be unjust, so even if it’s a slight bother, at least he’s for sure not an enemy.
Mentat - It seems that this man thinks that he is the law. That's not a real problem thus far, but it leads Kaer to wonder if he some time will watch Mentat become judge, jury, and executioner.
Mikhal - An interesting fellow, especially with his half-dragon-ness. Kaer sees Mikhal in a generally good light. Nothing too outstanding, just he seems to enjoy doing as he pleases, that put in a good way.
Seremela - First, Kaer thought she was okay, then he was concerned about a spell she cast that was clearly unreality, then the whole thing with Xavier, and finally, the assignment to guard her. After all that, Kaer has gone back to how things sort of were before -- she isn't a bad person through it all.
Wren - She seem to be a solid fighter, but usually in her own universe. She seems to be in the right place at the right time, though, and also because she seems to be comrades with Dante, hopefully will keep him from getting into tooooo much trouble.
Present Day
Assigned to guard Seremela by order of Geon. He still hasn't forgotten that they all tripped over him.
