Bellevue

Bellevue is a member of the guard of Port Valor and one of the survivors of the anti-life field.

Appearance
Bellevue is an older middle-aged human man whose formerly brown hair has turned completely gray. He also has a small beard. He wears armor and carries a spear.

Personality
Bellevue is capable of great bravery on behalf of his family (although he has a very understandable propensity to panic in the face of calamity). He also has a stubborn streak, such as when he attempted to keep searching for his son after literally being killed in the process.

Background
Bellevue worked as a member of the town guard of Port Valor, although he was approaching retirement and was being assigned less strenuous duties at the time of the disaster. He lived on the eastern side of Port Valor with his mother, his wife, and his son, Andrew.

The Fall of Port Valor
Having been assigned to a watchtower outside the town, Bellevue and his partner, Harvella, were not in the radius of Thorak's anti-life field and survived. Although Bellevue's first instinct was to stay at the watchtower and avoid the danger, the Champions Valoris convinced him to check on the town and see what happened to his family. The party's first stop in the town was Bellevue's house, where they found his wife and his mother dead where they had been standing. However, Andrew was nowhere to be found. Bellevue became determined to find his son, insisting on accompanying the Champions Valoris back into town after finding relative safety at the Temple of Alethus. At the town gates, the group encountered a scouting party of orcs and ogres, and one of the ogres slew Bellevue. However, Kilwin cast Revivify to bring him back to life. He and Harvella were then convinced to take the party's orc hostage back to the temple and remain there, leaving Andrew's rescue to the Champions Valoris and staying alive for his son's sake. He helped guard the temple and, once Thorak was defeated, was able to reunite with the rescued Andrew.

Goals
Although his first impulse was self-preservation, Bellevue quickly proved himself a devoted father and attempted to find and save Andrew at any cost. He was eventually deterred from this after the cost wound up being his life and he was given a second one, but Andrew's safety remained his primary concern.

Abilities
Bellevue is skilled with a spear, although not quite on par with the typical adventurer.

Bellevue and Andrew
Bellevue cares deeply for his son, who provided his driving motivation once he learned of his mother and wife's deaths. Realizing that Andrew could have survived, Bellevue refused to remain in the safety of the temple, preferring to search for him and rescue him from any danger he might be in. Even after his search cost him his life, Bellevue wanted to keep going, although he was convinced to return to the temple and wait for news.
