The man who would later go on to become “Saint Aldrin” started his life as a shepherd. He lived simply in a small village with her herd and his family. Unfortunately this came to an abrupt end when a vampire count and his undead hoard swept through the village, consuming and slaying his friends, family, and neighbors to the last. He alone escaped being slain when a lone adventurer in the village, a silvered knight dedicated to the temple gave his life for Aldrin’s. This event seeded the rest of his life, Aldrin dedicated himself to the same temple and grew to not hate the undead but pity them, recognizing that they are cursed and wretched things, denied the gift of a proper end. In his adult life Aldrin grew into a holy man who would lead many crusades against powerful undead who had grown their armies a little too large and claimed a little too much. His death came naturally, he died old and in his own bed, surrounded by holy men, crusaders, and friends he had made in life. When he was laid to rest in a tome it is said that the heavens themselves watched over him.
