Bio:

The Cistercian order was the main order that accompanied the Fourth Crusade. Their monks were often drawn from those with warrior backgrounds or at least some skill in fi ghting. Brother David has seen his share of action as well as administering to the religious needs of the Crusaders. On the surface he is a humble and pious man. However he is drawn to the secrets of the occult, rationalizing that it is only knowledge of such things that will ultimately protect the souls of his charges. He believes in the greater good and feels no conflict in sacrificing a life to achieve what he believes is God’s
will.
