20) The Atoner

The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall. This paladin fell very hard indeed, long ago, but a seed of light stayed dormant within them. Re-awoken to good, redeemed and restored by the willful sacrifice of another fellow paladin who could just as easily have chosen to destroy the corrupt monster who had once been their peer, there is no one alive who can match their zeal or determination to do good, or their willingness to seek good within the hearts of evil. After all, they know better than anyone that it is possible to turn away from darkness, and that you only get one second chance.
