Evandrin Alterra

 was the husband of Zerxus Ilerez and the First Knight of Avalir. As an NPC in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, he is played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Appearance
Evandrin was a 5'10" half-elven man with straight, shoulder-length red hair.

Personality
Evandrin was very dedicated to his position as First Knight, believing it to be his duty to take on dangerous tasks.

Background
Evandrin arrived in Cathmoíra with Elias when Elias was an infant, around thirteen or fourteen years before the events of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity. He met and fell in love with Zerxus Ilerez in the city shortly afterward. Zerxus considered Elias as his own son, and they intended to raise him together.

He was First Knight of Avalir, and was also working with Laerryn Coramar-Seelie on her planar experiments. Possibly due to these experiments he fell ill with a mysterious illness that made him seem to fade away into nothingness that Zerxus was unable to cure. He eventually vanished entirely and was believed dead. However, after Patia Por'co performed a forbidden True Resurrection ritual at Zerxus's request and failed to resurrect Evandrin, she came to believe that Evandrin was not really dead. She kept this to herself because Zerxus asked her to remove the failed resurrection ritual from his memories.

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity
Evandrin appeared in Zerxus's dream, stepping towards a blossoming tree that was being held in the hand of a horned, red figure. The blossoms on the tree blew towards him and he fell, holding his stomach. Later that day, Laerryn thought about Evandrin as she finalized her planar transport. Asmodeus appeared to Zerxus in a form that resembled Evandrin, and told Zerxus that he often appeared to mortals as the person they found most beautiful.

After Zerxus was killed by Asmodeus following the destruction of the Tree of Names, he met Evandrin on the Astral Plane. He apologized to him for failing, but Evandrin assured him he had not, and they embraced. Evandrin then confirmed he had voluntarily been sent there by the Astral Leywright, but had become anchored to the plane and was sent back there by the Tree of Names, leading to his disappearance. He begged Zerxus to stay with him and they would find their way back together, but Zerxus realized that he would continue to pass on into the afterlife, and instead picked up the Mace of the Black Crown, sealing his pact with Asmodeus. Evandrin promised to try to find a way to save him. Zerxus heard Evandrin's voice later, as he died, and perceived that Tempus had brought Elias to the Astral Plane to be reunited with Evandrin.

Relationships
Evandrin and Zerxus were married until Evandrin's presumed death. Zerxus was so distraught over his death that he asked Patia to attempt a lost resurrection ritual, and then subsequently asked her to remove his memory of it when it failed. Zerxus and Evandrin and were both happy to see each other when they were briefly reunited on the Astral Plane. Evandrin was understanding of Zerxus's choices and told him that no matter what, he would try to bring Zerxus back.

Laerryn was Evandrin's oldest friend, and he volunteered for her experiments with the Leywright, believing it to be the duty of the First Knight. He left her a locket.
