Mara Ardentlocke

Templar Mara Ardentlocke is currently a member of the Army of the Truthful. She acts as an enforcer, and temporary agent of the inquisition.

History
Mara had only in been a squire in her days of the Scarlet Crusade, serving under her father Jarek Ardentlocke, an esteemed Crimson Legionnaire. Her training as squire had contined until the expedition north, of which Mara had followed, and her father remained behind to defend the Crimson Bastion within Stratholme.

The Scarlet Onslaught had housed her briefly, but Mara was privy--at least a sense that something had gone awry--to the unholy parley at the Onslaught's behest. A bold girl, she had spoken out against the dark path they were headed, but it was unwise to question the chain of command. She had soon been imprisoned by her own order, tortured and branded a heretic by the interrogators under LeCraft.

It was only until the siege of New Hearthglen had begun that she was able to escape, and found haven within the ranks of the Argent Crusade.

Feeling marginalized under the Argent banner, Mara had yearned to aspire to her father's image once again, and donned his tabard of the Crimson Legion for herself. Seeking out Scarlet orders had been difficult, as they had repeatedly proved subservient in her eyes, none of the like had the fanatical devotion and boldness that she believes a Crimson legionnaire should possess. That was until she had met High Cleric Ostrick. Be it through his likeness to the zealous leaders that she remembered or doubt in her current order of the time, Mara had join the nascent Army the Truthful without a shred of doubt in her heart. It was here that she would find herself following the footsteps of her father, the unholy influence perhaps still lingering as the High Cleric preaches the Book of Flame.

Appearance
Mara is unmistakably a woman of noble heritage and blood, as evidence from her high cheekbones, even countenance, and regal features, holding a conventional attractiveness. Her bright scarlet tress is often kept tied up into a loose ponytail, and her bangs kept swept aside from her blue-hued gaze.

Mara is often clad in her armor, of which is a relatively ornamental suit, but not entirely devoid of combat function; thickly padded cloth, further bolstered with flame-wrought dark iron plates, all of which the surcoat of the Crimson Legion lay over.
