#yeah he might be an oath of vengeance paladin but he's also an untrained wild magic sorcerer by birth (aka has 1 sorc level)

rook doesn't talk much about himself in the beginning, but after he's warmed up and made some friends, he might share some info, like, how his eyes are the way they are bc they had a wild magic surge as a kid, and if someone very close to him prods rook further about it, they might nonchalantly mention how their mother couldn't look him in the eye after that. she felt nothing but deep shame about what she categorized as rook's carelessness and disrespect for his own body
