Annick is a monk of Boldrei, hailing from a small monastery in Breland. His lineage and appearance made his childhood rocky -- even under a Goddess of hospitality and family, children are cruel to their own. Annick grew up essentially a good person, but with a suppressed anger simmering beneath his skin. This boiled over one time too many during a sparring match -- he badly injured his partner after an insult dug too deep. The Hearthtender pulled him aside and gently persuaded him to leave the monastery on a journey to gain perspective -- he was to accompany Persephone, their amnesiac ward. in finding their past, and in doing so, hopefully find some peace for himself.
And then some shit happened, he has a voice in his head trying to bring out his berserker rage, and he's probably going to cry a lot.
