Orion

Orion Masek is a human blacksmith and occasionally willing ally of the party. Originally encountered in the blockaded village of Odeslani, he was one of the most active of the town smiths, as his body was already accustomed to going without necessities such as food or sleep for long periods of time. He aided them through his crafting and enchantments, and continued to do so through their adventures to the present.

Orion objects to the killing of sentient creatures, believing that it starts a cycle of revenge at worst and robs the victim of a chance for redemption at best. And besides, if he can knock people out and solve problems just fine, why can't everyone else? During his time with the party, however, his problem solving has mostly been relegated to healing and smithing, rather than knocking people out - a change for the better, as his efforts in the latter tend to result in his own death.

Despite his outward dislike and mockery of the party, he still doesn't really like them. Their flaws are numerous in quantity and quality, but at least they're doing something, and with his merciful gauntlets, they're doing things correctly. That's more than he can say about any others. Though his experiences in Ishkaril have limited his hopes for others' redemption, Orion still believes that the party's actions can have truly good results.
