Janus

Janus was a knight that went mad and lived in an abandoned mine.

History
Janus was a Knight of high standing in the capital's army. He eventually lost his wife and went mad, unable to accept her death. He broke his code, went to mages to try and resurrect her, and eventually found himself destitute, isolating himself in an abandoned mine. Upon encountering Roselyn, he mistakes her for his wife, both possessing pale skin and long curly black hair.

Set over the edge, Janus commits suicide, and Roselyn takes the locket he carried to remember the crazy old hermit that cared so much about her when no one else would. Inadvertently, through her new blood magic abilities, Roselyn binds his soul to herself and can now conjure the restored spirit of the knight Janus. Having been brought sanity through being reunited with his wife, Janus acts as a moral guide for Roselyn and protects her as he would his own child.

Personality
When Roselyn meets him, he is a barely coherent, insane hermit. After being bound to Roselyn, he exhibits a noble and stolid demeanor, with a subtle but kind sense of humor.

Appearance
He has long hair tied back into a "warrior's wolf tail". He has an unkempt beard when Roselyn first meets him, and a neatly trimmed one in spirit form. He dawns knight armor with a white cloak. He has a scar over his right eye and is blind on that side.

Abilities
Sword-fighting - Janus is a master swordsman.

Cold Conjuration - in spirit form, the area around Janus frequently cools drastically.

Intelligence - Janus is more intelligent than average and uses this to outsmart opponents or track criminals.

Roselyn
His de facto daughter and mage.
