Johann von Malsheim

Johann von Malsheim is a knight sworn to the Imperial Inquisition and its Chief Inspector. As one of the order's youngest knights, he's rumored to be favored by the highest authorities in the Church of Conn for his strict obedience and zealous sense of duty. Hence he's a key instrument to the Empire's religious war machine, supervising one of its many tasks and missions.

Since he was born a nobleman with a strict moral code, he claims to have joined up with the Inquisition to swipe clean the lands of men from the many monsters and unknown abominations that plague the common folk. In their younger years, Johann got along rather well with the mage priest Theodorus.

Appearance and Character
Johann is a particularly short man, standing shorter than any of his knights and subordinates yet still maintains a strong aura of obedience and discipline around him. He has flashing blue eyes and a melancholic look to his face that barely leaves him whether in times of joy or woe. No matter his short stature, he stands a very strong man, continuously maintaining his physique by sparring and training with his men wherever they find themselves.

As a knight of religious upbringing, he keeps a bowl haircut ever since he joined up with the Inquisition, further highlighting his zeal. He wears the red armor and red cloak of the Inquisition and on occasion, takes to a full plate armor decorated with the Flaming Torch, with gilded longsword and a great helm.

Johann is a born warrior and a zealous man of the cloak. But the Inquisition has taken its toll on him as he grew rash, headstrong and easily irritable. He inspires loyalty to his men but an outsider or a friend could easily tell the young knight knows emotional instability and an identity crisis between the Chief Inspector he became and the nobleman he was born to be.
