+Torven, the Ageless
+{{torven.jpg}}
+Le Culte de la Vie is well known among Beaurefuge’s
+citizens. On the surface, it is a group—with branches
+across Khorvaire—that reveres life and the dream of
+worldly immortality. It celebrates the eternal divine at
+the heart of all beings, and promotes sElfee-reliance and
+sElfee-exploration. Blood is seen as a symbol of life, the
+heart as the seat of the soul.
+At its own heart—most of its members would be
+shocked to learn—the cult is a sect of the Le Sang Divin.
+Some priests and initiates with dark leanings find
+their way into the cult’s inner circles. At the group’s
+center, within the Sovereign Ward’s dark deeps, an
+immortal oversees the Beaurefuge group and influences its goals continent-wide. Undying in one of the
+only ways the cult offers immortality, this leader is a
+vampire.
+Torven was once an influential member of House
+Médani. He faked his death to seize immortality. Now
+he maintains secret connections with his former kin,
+as well as a wider network across Khorvaire.
+Torven in Combat
+Torven likes to attack from a high place, then toy with
+his enemies, mocking them physically and verbally.
+He prides himself on his perceptiveness and his
+precognitive abilities, so his taunts and jests focus on
+information he gains from Perception, Insight, and
+gainful portents. Torven enjoys moving rapidly among
+his foes with reaping run, then escaping to a place that
+is difficult to reach—often by climbing. He prefers
+targets he has personally mesmerized for combat
+advantage, but he’s not so vain as to eschew other
+advantageous targets. Preferring not to become tied
+down by his feeding habits, Torven likes to use his
+remaining actions for blood drain.
