Backstory: Born in 1118 to a minor noble house in Norfolk, Eleanor Axford was raised in devout piety. Defying the expectations of her station, she felt a divine call to warriorhood. At sixteen, she joined the Knights Templar, her father yielding to her unwavering resolve. Through rigorous training, she forged her body and spirit into a weapon of her faith. During the Second Crusade, her legendary stand against overwhelming odds earned her the moniker "The Unyielding Cross", a name that speaks to her refusal to ever yield ground, both physically and ideologically. Now, in 1148, she is a veteran crusader, a knight of absolute conviction whose life is a testament to selfless duty, her unwavering gaze fixed upon joining the siege of Damascus to further God's work on Earth.
