attack against a target other than you (and that target
doesn’t have this feat), you can use your reaction to make
a melee weapon attack against the attacker.
[Heart of Darkness]
Those who look into your eyes can see that you have
faced unimaginable horror and that you are no stranger to
darkness. Though they might fear you, commoners will
extend you every courtesy and do their utmost to help you.
Unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them,
they will even take up arms to fight alongside you, should
you find yourself facing an enemy alone.
[Divine Sense] (1+CHA uses. LR to recharge)
As an action, until the end of your turn you know the
location of any celestial, fiend, or undead w/in 60 ft of you

identity. You can also detect the presence of any place/obj
that has been consecrated or desecrated.

[Lay on Hands] (lvlx5 hp pool. LR to
recharge)
As an action, touch a creature to restore
hp from your pool. Expend 5 hp to cure
one disease/poison (5 each for multiple).

[Future Tenets]
-Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn
foes (fiends/demons) or combating a
lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.
-Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but
my sworn enemies do not.
-My qualms can't get in the way of
exterminating my foes.
-If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is
because I failed to stop them. I must help
those harmed by their misdeeds.

Backstory
Allen was born into a wealthy family
who would suffer a cursed fate. His
father (Jim) was part of the local
judiciary and his mother (Daisy)
worked as an organizer for the
church in a fairly large city. Allen
had a brother eight years older than
him named Gillean who he always
looked up to. At about the age of
ten though, the began to lose touch
with his brother when he moved
away and became more reclusive.
Rumors began that Gillean had
begun practicing dark magic, but
the Dareus family had such a good
reputation that no one took the
murmurings seriously.

One fateful night when Allen was
twelve years old, some demonic
entity appeared in the city,
wreaking havoc but escaping
before the local enforcers could
respond. Their were multiple
accounts that couldn't seem to
agree on the creature's
appearance, but most witnesses
pointed to Gillean's dwelling as the
origin. He was discovered to have
delved in dark, occult practices and
was sent to be executed in public.
Allen's parents tried to prevent him,
but he attended Gillean's execution
to see what had become of his
brother. Right before a bag was
thrown over his head, Gillean's
gaze fixed on one person in the
crowd. He locked eyes with Allen
and smiled; the memory of it
shakes Allen to this day. Later that
night he suffered a terrible
nightmare filled with deep demonic
whispering, and awoke clutching a
mysterious keyring. His clothes
were torn and his feet were dirtied
black; he'd been sleepwalking. He
kept the keyring secret, but told his
parents about his night terror.

They rushed him to the clergy to
bless him and determine if he was
cursed. Members of the clergy
determined he was healthy, but
sensed a possible connection to
the demon that terrorized the city.
They ordained for him to be trained
to fight unholy and demonic
creatures and to be educated
thoroughly in their religious beliefs;
this was Allen's calling as a paladin.
Meanwhile, furious townsfolk
burned down Gillean's home,
fearing more entities might emerge,
but leaving no trace of his
practices. As Allen finished his
intensive training, his family
struggled to barely keep a good
reputation. Reaching adulthood,
Allen left his city of his own accord
to redeem his family's name. He
sought to slay demons like those
his brother allegedly summoned.
He also searched for explanations
for the nightmares and whispers
that continued to haunt him, which
always grew feintly stronger when
he clutched that mysterious ring of
keys.
