Berenger Vaillancourt

Sir Berenger Vaillancourt, Knight-Avenger of Brionne, is a Grail Knight famed throughout Bretonnia for his quest for vengeance.

History
This Hhermit knight owns no lands and holds no title besides his knighthood, and yet he is a legend throughout Bretonnia and beyond. He claimed the title of Grail knight younger than most and swore himself to the defence of the Grail shrine where the lady had appeared to him.

He faithfully executed his duties for years until he finally received a messenger who informed him that his beloved sister, Sybilla, was dying. He took leave of his duties and rushed to her death bed. While he was away, the shrine was desecrated by a band of thirteen bandits - desperate men who scoured the land for gold and plunder.

When he returned, his sister finally blessed and buried, Sir Berenger was filled with divine rage. He swore that he would hunt all the violators down. he tracked them across the full length and breadth of the Old World. Now he has slain all but one - their leader, the villainous Rainouart Ducharme.

Rainouart knows that he is hunted and so, in his desperation, has sworn devotion to the ruinous power, Tzeentch, in the hope that the Lord of Change will protect him from Sir Berenger's wrath. Instead he has become a pawn in the Changer of Way's schemes to corrupt and transform the great knight into a servant of darkness. Will Sir Berenger give in to his rage and his need for revenge and become that agent? Or will he avenge the Lady's dishonour and rise to become one of Bretonnia's great heroes? Only the future can tell.
