So I'm playing a rogue / archivist who is working with a cult of vecna I was given a mission by Vecna to lead a group of paladins who have pretty much turned into our current antagonists to a cave and turn the hunters into the hunted.
My character has a bit of a philosophy motif and I wanted to change my backstory to once being a mage hunter of tyr (the god of the paladins).
To invoke that juicy "We're not so different you and I," Trope.
My character started at 4th level and took levels in archivist after coming to the campaign so the mage hunter origin gives me a sort of previous familiarity with magic and piety as well as the spenders of
education i.e. monastery library.
I wanted a good reason to be distrustful or have a falling out with this origin to sort of demonstrate the hypocrisy of the supposedly justice filled world tyr seeks to create or the cruelty caused by such a crusade no matter the pure intentions.
Despite my character's scholarly aspects I really wanted to stay away from invoking the whole reading a tome from the forbidden section of the library since it's kind of overused.
or the Crusader leader is actually possessed or actually super evil.
EDIT: I'm trying to come with with hooks that would cause a mage hunter to fall from grace or find faults with his own place in Tyr's worldview that I can expand on. One to two sentence hooks is basically all I'm looking for.
This character really adheres to a scholar mindset bonus points for anything going along with this!
