'''Lothric, the Twinned Paladin of Envy''', is a humanoid exile located at the [[Banished Cathedral]], an isolated prison-keep found in the [[Republic Of Lydoneia]]. Once an honorable Paladin of the Order of Ostrava and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Ostrava, Lothric attempted to overthrow his father in a coup d'état with his twin brother, Boarir.

After his attempt to overthrow his father failed, and after the execution of his twin brother, Lothric and a group of fellow conspiring Paladins were exiled to Alathra. After his arrival in Alathra, he stumbled upon the Kingdom of God settlement after the [[Ashina-Kingdom of God War]], met a young [[Aurelius]] and his family, and quickly realized the potential of the child.

In order to restore himself to his former glory of heir to the throne, he authorized his Paladins to neutralize Aurelius and his family, failing miserably, and began Aurelius' lifelong quest to avenge his family. He was tracked down by Lydoneian forces, with the assistance of the [[Pact of the Immortal Blood]], and was sent to the Banished Cathedral for eternity.

Lothric was found guilty of conspiring against the Order, as well as the King. In an effort to thwart future activities and escape attempts from Allantian prisons, Lothric was blindfolded, drugged, and tossed onto a boat headed west across the Great Oceans to [[Alathra]]. Within a few weeks, the boat arrived on the continent of [[Gaushan]]. Lothric, along with other Fallen Paladins, exited the craft and headed west to find shelter. It was there that they discovered the recently war torn [[Kingdom of God]].

Lothric and the Fallen Paladins left the settlement and ventured out to set up a camp of their own and plan Aurelius' assassination. Without weapons, they were useless in the potential slaughter. Stealing a boat from the shores of Gaushan, they travelled north to the ruins of [[Xenoarcadia]]. After their arrival, they quickly found supplies and equipment, including hoods that would mask themselves from Aurelius' family. It was here they squatted for some time, training and preparing themselves for the upcoming assassination. While they had been skilled at it back in their homeland, this was new territory, and Lothric was weary of attracting outsiders after such a short time in Alathra.

The Fallen Paladins stayed behind while, true to his word, Lothric headed east to find a potential home for the Kingdom. He settled just west of modern day [[Haven]], in a small shack. It was in this shack he began experimenting with new powers. A small creature nearby his shack was writhing around, almost uncontrollably. He decided to take in this creature and treat it. It was during this treatment, however, that the creature began to contort and expand into a horrific beast. Lothric slayed the beast, but took pieces of it with him back inside the shack for further analysis.

This analysis led to his discovery of [[Writhing Corruption]]. A magical virus, it gives its host tremendous strength and, if afflicted with tremendous amounts of wounds, begins to deform the host and turn it into a horrific abomination. Lothric studied for months on end, mastering the ability to harness this power. He was successful.

Lothric arrived at the settlement, almost two years after his departure, now littered with the skeletal bodies of his Fallen Paladins. He ventured out on Gaushan, looking for someone who could potentially lead him in the right direction to find who was responsible. An innkeeper in [[Taffasan]] told him to look for Aurelius on Koganon. He was filled with rage and envy, first realizing that Aurelius was alive, as well as begun to reach his full potential. The Fallen Paladins were some of Ostrava's most powerful sword wielders, and they were bested by a mere adolescent.

When word of this reached Aurelius, he immediately grabbed the [[Fury of Aurelius]] and hopped on his horse. He instructed his guards to follow him. The headed to the far western territory of Lydoneia to reach [[Noelstan]], the western port of the nation. They quickly boarded a ship of the Lydoneian fleet and headed to Gaushan. Arriving in Gaushan, they headed southwest towards P.I.B. territory in hopes of meeting with them.

Arriving at P.I.B, Aurelius dismounted his horse and requested to be let inside. He spoke to [[Twyst]] about the weight of the situation, and being as good of friends as they were, Twyst accepted the request.

Aurelius stood at the head of the internal chamber explaining to P.I.B. members what needed to be done, and a deal was arranged. Not soon after, P.I.B. members followed Aurelius and the Lydoneian Guard back to Koganon to search for Lothric. It was here they went from town to town, asking if they had seen the large humanoid speaking to civilians or interacting with high profile members of government. It was not until they reached [[Jotunstan]] where they were quickly notified by [[Syzmo]] that Lothric was squatting in the woods just south of the city.

Lothric was brought to a newly constructed prison-keep north of [[Fort Roberts]], soon to be named the Banished Cathedral. It is here that he is detained in a customized cell, deep beneath the surface, under constant supervision by both Lydoneian and P.I.B. forces.
