Dukus

A Paladin of Poseidon, originally a Triton from the elemental plane of water.

Died and his soul was brought into the body of a Flesh Golem by the Abbot of Saint Markovia.

Childhood
After his resurrection, some of his past as a Triton grew fuzzy. What is known is that he always excelled, going above and beyond nearly all of the other Tritons in his age group. Tending to speak his mind and be matter of fact about things. Drove himself forward with his own forward in his training and took challenges few other Triton would take, his people were at war with the Sahuagin for over two thousand years and even though they had an advanced culture it has a strong war front.

Pre-Barovia
A holy Paladin of Poseidon, his city in the elemental plane of water had reports of undead appearing in places where they do not belong. The high magic of his people allowed them to trace these abnormalities to a certain plane of existence. The number of their Paladins suited to fighting undead is limited and Dukus was chosen to investigate. They managed to teleport him to where the source of the disturbance was thought to originate from.

Barovia
Dukus rose from a lake near the gates of Barovia to meet the party. In the Death House he assisted his members escaping. His holy powers destroyed the shadows found there and they wouldn't have survived without his might. However, things changed after he picked a card from Madame Eva: The Shattered One.

His soul left his body and was brought into a Flesh Golem. The Abbot of Saint Markovia, his new 'father' instructed him to get a wedding dress for a bride he is to prepare for Strahd in the hopes she will be able to soften his heart. Dukus rejoined the party but was changed, a little more straight forward and with less emotion. He remained true to the party and obsessed over returning the dress. Gets into constant little disputes with Sigmund who tries to convert him.

Class
He is a Paladin, tends to rely on straight forward action and honesty.

He would use any advantage for greater strength to defeat his foes. Saying 'this body will better serve my purpose' when asked about his loss. Known to use arcane magic, divine and brute strength to defeat his foes.

Fighting Style
Uses caution and brutality in equal measure. His Divine Smite devastates foes when focused, his silvered Trident also causes arcane explosions when his enemies decide to move. Usually upfront and center, tends to show an uncaring mask but will protect and heal allies showing veiled regret if his actions lead to any of them getting hurt.
