Pregenerated Character for First Level: The Hell-Touched Warrior

You were a simple soldier. You went where your commanders told you, fought who you were told to fight, and prided yourself on being a good soldier. You didn't make much, but you made a living. When your liege dispatched your platoon to the village of Karthold three years ago to put down a peasant rebellion led by some cultists, you assumed that the worst you'd have to look out for was some idiot shitfarmer with a pitchfork and more courage than sense.

You were wrong. The Cruel Lady was there, attended by creatures from the nether-realm--creatures she'd summoned by sacrificing the farmers and families of Karthold. They killed all 19 of your companions and, before finishing you off, drug you to her. Rather than kill you, she smiled - and reached into your chest and stole your heart. Then she left.

Something changed inside you that day. You began having difficulty caring: about others, about causes. It's wrong to say that you don't think like you used to--rather, it's just that you only notice that you have emotions when you stop and think about it. Trouble seems to follow you wherever you go.

What happened to your heart? What did the Cruel Lady want with it? And where is she now?
