Javen Tarmikos

Javen Tarmikos was the paladin of Helm who founded and led the Order of the Gilded Eye in the late 15 century DR.

Personality
Javen believed that evil forces should be actively sought and destroyed before they have any opportunity to inflict harm upon others.

History
For some time Javen served as a member of the Order of the Gauntlet, the group of holy warriors who dedicated themselves to fighting evil along the Sword Coast and within the North. However he became deeply troubled following the invasion of Helm's Hold by Ashmadai and the Prophet Rohini, a succubus who masqueraded as a devoted oracle of Helm. While Javen helped liberate his home city during the Siege of Helm's Hold, circa the, the atrocities he witnessed left him increasingly disillusioned with the Order.

One day, Javen was meditating at the Cathedral of Helm when he received a vision upon Helm's holy symbol within the church: the unblinking eye of Helm began to weep golden tears. His divine vision was soon followed by others that presented themselves to Javen's fellow clergy members. Inspired by the return of the Watcher, Javen formed Order of the Gilded Eye, holy warriors of Helm that would protect the Realms where the Order of the Gauntlet previously failed.
