Tynan Maher

Tynan Maher also known as Joseph Sawyer, is a Human cleric of Zelor. He was loyal to his church, at least until they stop working for the people and only work for King Absolan.

Biography
Tynan Maher was born to Aveline Sawyer (née Imayna, deceased) and Cade Sawyer (deceased) in the kingdom of Domhan. He was orphaned early in his life and raised by the church of Zelor in the kingdom of Dolteain, specifically from the city of Khalan.

Early Life
Born under the name of Joseph Sawyer, Maher was orphaned when he was four years of age during a raid on his home town of Ironton in the kingdom of Domhan. During the raid, his father Cade Sawyer was slaughtered, but his mother Aveline Sawyer was able to escape. At the time she was pregnant with Sawyer's younger sister, in which he had never met. The raid was one of the first to have happened from the kingdom of Dolteain that preempted the war that spans the entirety of Sawyer's life.

Joseph Sawyer was captured as a prisoner of war and used as part of a project to strengthen the church of Zelor's hold in the nation of Domhan in prevention of the war that he had suffered from. Sawyer was brainwashed into a new name, Tynan Maher and all of his previous possessions, such as clothes, were burned. The clerics of the church began training the small child to believe in the light of Zelor and to use his light to heal.

Maher had nightmares of that time in which he was abducted, but as the years went on, the nightmares would began to become fuzzy. He lost his memories of what had happened and had become the model of perfection in his new life at the church.

Profession
Tynan Maher became a cleric of Zelor at the age of 13, in which the head priest in a ceremony anointed him with the virgin waters of Zelor and washed him in the light, allowing him to emerge as a cleric. Though he was too young to understand his duties, he was able to follow the rules of the church and enlighten new followers with an amount of perfection that only the head priest was able to obtain.

Personal Life
Despite the war that was still going on, Tynan Maher was, as a part of the church, kept out of the politics of his nation. The head priest, though, provoked King Absolan when he wanted to get the church more power in the nation. King Absolan struck out making the church more of an enforcing group for his ridiculous reign. During this time, Maher was heavily in his career as a healer, in which he was helping the sick and providing shelter for the refugees that came back from the war. He was ripped from his duties and given a new mission, one in which he now bullied, persecuted, and punished citizens of the countryside, especially those of Orc blood.

This new job description allowed Maher to lose his faith in Zelor, thinking that the god should have prevented the war in the first place. He slowly stopped his prayers and daily priestly routines that he was strongly rooted in before. Soon after an event in which himself and three other clerics took some homeless children to the town square and allowed the town to stone them to death for stealing, he would never wear his holy symbol again. The faith that he held dear to himself was shattered and he felt that he no longer had a soul.
