(Forgiving) Byron, Demon's Ward

Lore
The demon was impartial to the dispute, yet he could not leave the boy to despair. He taught Byron his mystical arts, so when the bloodthirsty rabble came, he could drive them away. Though Byron thought to take pursuit, he realized that revenge was an unnatural, manmade idea. If he surrendered to his rage, it would go against the precepts of kindness he had learned from his friend.
