Knight
Your huge health pool and armor forgive missed lifesteal and slow starts, so a shaky opening rarely ends the run.
Legacy
Ser Aldric, the Unbroken Wall (Human)
When the dungeon first opened beneath the kingdom of Valdren, Ser Aldric held its gate alone for three days so his people could flee. He fell on the ninth floor with his shield still raised, and the god swore that such stubbornness would never be wasted. Reborn in his legacy, you will inherit a will that does not know how to yield.
