To blow off anger he lifts weights and to control his otherwise explosive temper he works out a lot.

History: He was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for him. It may also be what makes him so good at details.

Upon awakening, Paelias discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves.
