Sebastian Crenshaw

Sebastian Crenshaw is a Half-Orc Oathbreaker Paladin (formerly Oath of Conquest) and Hexblade Warlock multi-class played by Friend of the Show Josh Freeland.

Appearance
Sebastian is a 6'9" gray-skinned half-orc who looks predominately human. According to Carter's notes he is 26 years old and weighs 295 units. He had a habit of filing down his orc tusks to look more human. He takes pride in his appearance and always looks very clean and well put together.

Post-time travel Sebastian updates his armor to be more futuristic. He lets his orc tusks grow out, shaves the sides of his head, and starts growing a braid down the back. After his right arm is severed by an aether-blade in the escape from Starwind Bay, he replaces it with a cybernetic arm that looks like a cross between the Terminator and the Winter Soldier. He wears full-plate armor and carries a large shield.

Personality
Sebastian is incredibly loyal and values strength above all. He is very protective of Primina and they have a sibling-like bond. He considers it his oath to protect her, and he will do whatever it takes to make sure she is safe. He and Percy work well as a team, while he butted heads with Carter. He has an interest in cybernetics and robotics, looking for ways to improve his robotic arm.

He is very disciplined and enjoys his routines. He has made a habit of keeping his "Old World" armor clean and maintained despite having upgraded to future tech. Sebastian also enjoys going to the gym and working out. He encourages his companions to go to the gym whenever possible.

The knowledge that the orcs were annihilated was a huge blow to him and pushes his drive to find more information about what happened to his people. He would like to return to "Old World" to try to set orcs on a path that would preserve their species.

His fun side came out during The Blood Gala tournament in his persona, The Great Basbino, a baseball-esque legendary fighter.

Sebastian values strength, and has consistently made choices that would help him gain power to become stronger and stronger.

Abilities
Sebastian is able to use his paladin oath powers both for healing, and dealing out extra damage. His commanding aura and conquering presence for taking an oath of conquest is used to control enemies and assist his allies.

He has a bracer that, when activated, gives him the effects of the Haste spell. His cybernetic arm gives him extra strength, as long as it is in working condition, and acts as a cannon for a ranged weapon.

Other equipment includes a flame sword, the BFG, and aether-blades.

Background
In "Old World" Sebastian was raised by his human father who was mysteriously killed. After his death, Sebastian decided to continue the legacy of his family, honor his father, and find out what happened to him by adventuring.

At The Blue Eden Diner, Sebastian reveals more about his backstory. His father was a follower of Sargonnas and very strictly kept young Sebastian and his mother sheltered. Sebastian's father was a human with dark skin and dark hair, and his mother was an orc resulting in Sebastian being born with gray-toned skin.

His mother was the daughter of an orc chieftain and secretly taught Sebastian to be proud of his orc heritage. On the other hand, his father sought to suppress the orc side of Sebastian with rules like "no alcohol" and "no spicy food" in an attempt to keep the body calm and sharp.

One day while Sebastian's father was out, five orcs came to their home to take Sebastian and his mother back to their tribe. They spent two days in the wilderness, the best two days of young Sebastian's life, and taught him to have pride in his orc blood. His mother gave him a dagger with the inscription "Our blood is our strength." Sebastian's father eventually caught up with them and with a blaze of light attacked the campsite until all five orcs were slain. During the fray, Sebastian's mother was pushed into a spike on the ground. When Sebastian saw this he rushed to her side, and with her last breath she said to him; "You are special, keep fighting to become who you're meant to be."

After his mother's death, Sebastian returned home with his father and never disobeyed him again.

The Iron Legion
Post-time travel, Sebastian lost connection with his god from "Old World" and briefly was unable to access his paladin powers. He trained as an initiate of Viananaelius chapter of The Iron Legion and pledged service to Dominion, taking the Oath of Conquest paladin path.

He was tried by The Iron Legion when accused of crimes against the Elven Empire, and was cleared of all charges. The Iron Legion then assigned him to protect Primina, officially assigning him to stay with Persephone and The Brunhilde crew.

Archduke Ramazall
Upon meeting Archduke Ramazall, Sebastian asks him for a favor: any power that would give him the strength to protect his friends. The Archduke considers his request and after sifting through Sebastian's mind to see if he was worthy, forms a contract with him. Sebastian decides to forsake his vows in favor of serving the Archduke of Kaebooros, becoming an Oathbreaker Paladin/Hexblade Warlock multi-class.

Ramazall appears to Sebastian in his dreams.
