Fighter: Aetherblade Knight
Unique even among all of Cathar's many soldiers and mercenaries, the Aetherblade Knights are a secretive and mysterious group. A scarce few know of the group's origins, and even fewer know anything about its members. They are fearless, channeling raw magical power into their weapons and body in order to expand their abilites and heal their wounds. Though they are incapable of casting spells, Aetherblade Knights instead excel in minute manipulations of the magic that courses through the air around them, augmenting their speed and toughness. In combat, the Aetherblade Knight is a whirlwind, able to turn a horde of even the toughest monsters into a stack of corpses in mere minutes.
