Dalbert Oldheart

Dalbert Oldheart is the leader of the Fate. He is an honorable old cur bent on upholding the sacred traditions of the Rites with his adopted son, Almer.

Biography
He took pride in his heritage, as an ancestor of the alpha-chiefs thought to be descended from Jomuer Many-Mane himself. But, his more-vocal attempts to preserve old traditions in the Commonwealth often fell on deaf ears, or even roused anger. One day, he dared to publicly celebrate Fang-Song, even against the wishes of his family. His family's caution was well-founded in this case, and he and Almer both were taken, and exiled. In the Downside, tales of their deeds preceded them, and the Fate soon approached them, and took them in.

Story
The Fates are the second triumvirate you face. Dalbert greets the Nightwings cordially, and gifts you a talisman. He is always polite and kind towards the Nightwings, despite Almer's protests.

If he wins a Liberation Rite he will instead transfer the freedom to Almer. Once his son is freed without his consent, Dalbert will quit the Rites. Shortly after the Rites end, Dalbert peacefully passes away of old age.
