Evil will always fail against courage and honor.
— Ajantis

Personality[]

Fitting for a paladin, Ajantis was known to be a self-righteous, yet somewhat naive individual.[1]

Relationships[]

He was an acquainted with another squire of the Radiant Heart, Anomen Delryn of Athkatla.[1]

History[]

Ajantis was born to the noble Ilvastarr family of Waterdeep. During his youth he received exceptional martial training learning the art of sword-fighting under the tutelage of Myrmith Splendon.[2]

Some years later he joined the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart and garnered the attention of the highly respected Keldorn Firecam. He served the elder knight as a squire and a member of the Radiant Heart Auxiliary.[1]

When the iron crisis plagued the Sword Coast in the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, Ajantis felt a call-to-action. He sought to investigate the bandits that plagued the region in order to attain the status within his order as a full-fledged knight.[1]

By the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR, Ajantis made his way down to Amn. Some time that year, Ajantis and other knights of the Radiant Heart spent time traveling through the Windspear Hills. Unbeknownst to them, the knights had illusions placed upon them by Lord Jierdan Firkraag. The magic gave the knights the appearance of ogres, and also made them perceive other humanoids the same way. As a result of the illusion, Ajantis and his companions were slain by Gorion's Ward.[2]

Notes[]

The comic Baldur's Gate, released in 1998, presents a series of events incongruent with those in the game series. Between 1368 DR and 1369 DR, Eldoth Krom formed a plot with the misandrist warrior Shar-Teel Dosan. The two were to work with a few other adventurers escorting a bride-to-be and her dowry south from the Sword Coast to the nation of Amn. Among this group were the paladin of Helm, Ajantis Ilvastarr, the ranger Kivan, and the megalomaniacal priest Tiax. After their caravan was ambushed by hobgoblins and ogres, Eldoth stole the dowry and retreated to the Undercellar in Baldur's Gate. Ajantis survived the assault and briefly partnered with Shar-Teel to recover the stolen riches. Unfortunately for him, he was double-crossed by Shar-Teel and killed in the sewers beneath the city.[3]
