Kleef Kenric

 Sir Kleef Kenric was a topsword in the Marsember Watch, and the chosen of Helm during the late 15 century DR. He played an influential role during the events of the Second Sundering, helping thwart the divine schemes of the goddess Shar.

Description
Kleef had black hair and a rather large build, giving him something of an oafish appearance.

Personality
Kleef was a determined follower of Helm tenets, particularly the Law of Service. He refused personal bribes whenever they were offered.

While he stayed true to his faith, Kleef felt great anger and resentment towards Helm due to his absence in Faerûn for most of Kleef's life.

Abilities
By the power of Helm, Kleef was granted strength and fortitude in battle that far exceeded that of ordinary men. He was not fully aware that power was attributed to his status as a chosen, a fact to which he was ignorant for quite some time.

Despite him being the chosen of Helm, Kleef was particularly susceptible to charm magic.

Possessions
He wielded a greatsword named Watcher. This sword was too heavy to be wielded by anyone other than a Kenric, but to a him it was "as light as a dagger". It had a large agate set into its cross guard, referred to as Helm's Eye.

History
Kleef came from a long line of Helmite followers, who dedicated themselves to the preservation of integrity in the Marsember Watch. He served in the watch for over 20 years, though his unwavering scruples prevented him from ever ascending beyond the rank of Topsword.

During the evacuation of Marsember, during Netheril's invasion of Cormyr in Uktar of the, Kleef and his men made it their duty to clear out Wilhastle Square. After fighting off a number of shades on Deepwater Bridge, Kleef joined up with Lady Arietta Seasilver and two of the gods' chosen, the heartwarder Joelle Emmeline and the devotee of Cyric, Malik el Sami, who masqueraded as a doomlord of Myrkul. They set off aboard the Lonely Roamer to rescue Grand Duchess Elira Seasilver from the Price of Shade Yder Tanthul.

While at sea, Yder began to appear to Kleef in his dreams, probing his mind for information and offering the guardsman an easy way out of his duties.
