Audit wanted military service his whole life and was turned away at the door, so he trained himself. Now he is finishing that training formally, at a school full of teenagers. The sheet says "Paladin (Unlicensed)" and he insists on saying so, because it is technically accurate.

"I've decided you're mine now. I do hope that's not inconvenient."
