Rylinn Vel'su-vyn

General Rylinn is the leader of the Coven of the Blackened Dawn and a powerful Ur-Priest dedicated to syphoning power from Lathander, the God of the Sun. He became powerful in his own right at an early age. He was an unclaimed soul by the gods. He attempted to seek out the voice of several over his youth but never heard the calling. He began researching the Power and it's sources in hopes that he could duplicate it without the assistance of the deities. He studied for years and resorted to draughts of longevity to keep his body in tact. He called the spirits of nature and the planes and were rejected by all. None would grant him worship. Through his frustration he began targeting temples and shrines, usually razing the holy sites and eliminating their faithful. One of his last targets was a Temple of Tymora, the Goddess of Luck. As he stood by the alter watching the temple fall to ash around him he was approached by a servant of Lady Luck. The priest was older but young to the ways of his deity according to the rankings of his dress. The priest offered Rylinn a chance at what he always wanted. The cleric turned out to be an Ur-Priest

Rylinn went to great lengths to destroy the Morninglord, eventually creating a ritual that would create a seperate personality within himself while suppressing his true mind into his subconsious. As a result he sculpted out a perfect candidate to join the ranks of the mightiest of Lathander's clergy. His new persona would completely mask his evil and would truely beleive in the teachings of the Dawn. But Rylinn's true self would continue to work and would drain the power he needed daily when his fabrication was praying for the Power from his god. As his personality advanced through the ranks of the church he would be given access to higher and higher levels of rituals allowing him to drain more and more of Lathander's divine esscence.
