Bernard Malthazar, The Diplomat

---

In a world of warring kingdoms and states, its a miracle to find a diplomat and even supernatural to be one, setting up accords for peace and signing treaties may not be a difficult thing to do, but to make everyone satisfied is but an implausibility. Such is the case Bernard, from his childhood on he has witnessed the rage of war, an orphan he wandered the world and was taken care of by a samaritan. But it wasn't just a mere samaritan but a mage himself, they are a secret society of former diplomats who were proven obsolete as war is but the best answer to any conflict. The samaritan taught Joachim the secrets behind the powers and there he was changed forever.Now, a diplomat for Cascadia, he will stop at nothing to bring peace to all warring states, kingdoms and faction. Even if he has to resort in violence

Bernard, the Diplomat is a intelligence support melee hero whose bread and butter is giving buffs to his ally while also punishing his enemies at the same time. Peace accords causes him to disable any damage output of both friend and foe but punishment is harsher on enemies, Embargo cuts experience and gold gain by a hero while Versailles completely reduce any damage based core and carry to nothing. Finally his ultimate lets him declare a state of war on an enemy giving his teammates various buffs against the hero.
