Manus Iskariot

"No one wants to admit it, but even the Order has business that they don't want to get public. How do you think did I made a living in those past years?"

Bio
Born in a simple merchant family, he joined the Order with sixteen to serve his time. In his regular time, he showed talent for secret operations and was recruited for a special corps of saboteurs, spies and assassins. Over the years, he had many relationships, and he took each and everyone of them very serious. However, the secretive nature of his work always strained the relationships, so they broke up rather quickly.

He spent the majority of his life there, until he was recruited for the Inquisition by a young Order officer. Hesitantly as he was, she invested a lot of time and meetings into persuing him and eventually, the both of them fell in love. Altough already 4 marriages laid behind him, he joined the Inquisition to be closer to her and they married soon after. They spent three years with each other, in which he carried out many secret operations for the Order. The time of their marriage was a happy one, according to him, but ultimately, the difference in age was too much, and so they got divorced.

He continued his regular work for a time longer, before he left the Order. He's know working as a freelancing spy, curier, assassin, bodyguard or whatever someone is willing to pay him for.

Personality
Due to his long years of experience, he's always calm and quite reserved, since he knows that there is no use in getting overly excited. Preferring to observe a situation first, he rather uses the enemies' strength against him than to use his own.

This doesn't mean that he can't fight seriously if necessary, since his body is steeled through years of active service and training and combined with his vast experience makes him a very capable fighter.

Being well aware that his occupation is not very respected, he doesn't seem to care much, altough he displays a tired sadness from time to time.

His experience also shows in his attitude towards women, where he is kind, well-mannered and a bit reserved. Altough he doesn't consider himself as too old for love, he's aware that it's propably too late for him to find a partner for live.

Ember Magic
Basically, it's a variation of Fire magic. However, it's not as flashy nor as suited to fight larger groups of enemies. However, by using only small sparks, it draws less attention and with it's increased heat, it's also very effective in letting a target panic or, if necessary, to burn through armor.
