Taam Dilur

Share

----------------------

DESCRIPTION


An apostate of the Church of St. Calibera, seeking his destiny

Real Name: Taam Dilur

Features: Enslaved body and mind belongs to the vampiress Belleville de Jean, who probably doesn't even know it.


Taam Dilur grew up in the Fidethelum of the Church of Calibera, among a dozen other orphans in the orbit of Shikaris. He didn't care who his parents were, as his family was replaced by the church. Faith became his mother and his father became the weapon in his hands. As a child, he did not differ from his peers in ability or mindset. He was ordinary, except for his faith in Calibera, which always protected beings who believed in her.


Upon reaching the age of sixteen, as a graduate of Phidethelum, he was sent to serve on the planet Pelur as Augustine's assistant guardian at the city's main temple, the Cathedral of the Great Shutter of Aroga. Augustine was once a paladin seeker, having traveled many known worlds and recovered many weapons lost during the Bloodstained Age. He also spoke of how it is not only Calibera that makes a man stronger, but faith in himself. It was Augustine who encouraged Taam to turn from the path of the Priest to the path of the Seeker. At the age of twenty-two, he finally beat the odds and headed into a world of filth, vice, and neon. The world of Pilur.


"And then he decided that the church was just as full of assholes as the filthy streets of Pelura and decided to throw his goddess faith (c) Liberty''.


In his apostasy, Taam nearly loses his mind, in particular by deciding to embark on yet another suicide mission...


"One more, one less. The story of the conglomerate, for the former churchman, was not over. He didn't make it to the end credits, but it's the moment of his credits that matters. It's all about not fucking it up. Shit... I think I'm late. It's always the daylight saving time thing. (c) Liberty. "


Belleville destroyed the NIKS...


"Whoa whoa whoa, we jumped a little too far ahead. Ah. Nah. That's that important trig where the ex-Calibera son's cuckoo flew so far away you can't even see it. (c) Liberty."


...which was cause for Taam's personal vendetta, but alas, his adversary turned out to be not the dumb and cruel berserker he thought she was, but an unexpectedly cunning foe. Belleville possesses a strange ability related to her blood. She can control and change the consciousness of living beings with her blood. With the help of her former subordinate Biker, she lures Taam and his friend Urist into her trap.


Ta'ama will agree. Maybe this will at least delay his final demise, if not cancel it. And then... He could think of something.

The madness of blood drove Taam mad soon enough.


"Well, how soon. If the concept of ``instantly'' equaled ``soon'', then it was definitely ``soon''. (c) Liberty."


 On the planet Stove, the planet they were on at the time, he had made a bizarre suicide attempt - flying in a car filled with explosives into the local police station. Perhaps, in those wild moments, Taam was as out of his mind as ever. Strange metamorphoses were going on inside both Taam's mind and body that led to this decision. The strange frenzy could lead to many deaths around the former paladin, which is essentially what happened. Though death by his own hands seemed to Dilur at that moment the best way out, but everything as usual did not go according to plans. Whether by the will of fate or fate, an unknown woman appeared next to Taam, literally stopping time around him. Almost exploded gas tank, shards of glass frozen in the air, silhouettes of policemen running away from under the wheels of the car: the paladin saw all this around, realized, but could only speak and direct his gaze towards the unknown woman, who offered him a deal. It was unlikely that he would have agreed to the offer if it had been a demon, but the unknown woman, who introduced herself as Liberty, was not a creature of hell, but a Master of Death. A very... Peculiar one, judging by her abilities. The point of the deal, however, was to travel to Asturias to gather her council.


"Ahhh, why my council? Why don't they ever listen when I give advice. Ha, wait a min... (c) Liberty."


 A momentary brightening from the proximity to death and the hell he was sure to go to made Taam agree. Maybe it would, if not cancel, at least delay his final demise. And there... He could think of something.
