This anger toward his father’s idealism played a large part in shaping Jespar’s views of the world and his personal relationships.Īs a young adult, Adila joined the Order of the Apothecarii in the Frostcliff Mountains. She was devastated by the loss of her family and sought solace in old family memories and their father’s books, whereas Jespar blamed his idealistic father for putting his principles above the safety of his family and wanted nothing more to do with family relics. Jespar and Adila became estranged in later life. Jespar and Adila were then taken in by a friendly family. Young Jespar and Adila survived the attack only because they had snuck out and gone on one of their “expeditions,” as Jespar called them. His father, Damean Dal’Varek, and two brothers were killed in an attack on the Dal’Varek estate. Jespar’s mother died giving birth to Adila. Jespar’s family included his father, mother, two brothers, and his younger sister, Adila. This may be due in part to his Sublime upbringing, which would allow him to have access to knowledge most people would never have. He regards himself as a mercenary, yet his knowledge of history and books reach beyond any common mercenary's skills and abilities. However, he tends to ignore or even hide this fact, as he sees titles as just a way for some people to feel superior to others. Jespar is a Sublime by his path, as indicated by the "Dal" prefix in his surname. He values personal gratification and avoids responsibilities, although this trait changes as the game progresses. Jespar has an easygoing and fun-loving personality. Jespar Dal'Varek, Every Day Like the Last, Part IV
