To him, "heroes" perform their laudable deeds, in reality, because they want to see themselves in a certain light. He strongly believes that the so-called "heroes" are no better than anyone else, because like everyone else, they are driven by the same motivations - their perception of themselves: Egotism.
When casually chatting with Jespar over a glass of wine during Every Day Like the Last, Part I, Jespar will expound on what "heroism" means to him. Jespar's view on "heroism" is consistent with his perception of humanity and what drives people in general. Jespar Dal'Varek, Every Day Like the Last, Part I Although Jespar was hopelessly outnumbered, he did nothing to try to save her, and the guilt for his inaction still haunts him. The Prophet later learns that Lysia was attacked, and likely killed, by bandits. Jespar says they traveled together for three years, but she was too intense and reckless for him and she wanted more from their “partnership” than he did, so they eventually separated. According to most people’s definition, they were “a couple”, despite Jespar’s reluctance to apply that label. Jespar tells the Prophet about a former companion and partner, Lysia, during Every Day Like the Last, Part II. During Every Day Like The Last, Part III, Jespar reveals that he went to visit Adila in an attempt to mend their relationship shortly before he met the Prophet, but Adila had left the Apothecary, with no explanation of why or where she intended to go. This anger toward his father’s idealism played a large part in shaping Jespar’s views of the world and his personal relationships.Īs a young adult, Adila joined the Order of the Apothecarii in the Frostcliff Mountains. She was devastated by the loss of her family and sought solace in old family memories and their father’s books, whereas Jespar blamed his idealistic father for putting his principles above the safety of his family and wanted nothing more to do with family relics. Jespar and Adila became estranged in later life. Jespar and Adila were then taken in by a friendly family. Young Jespar and Adila survived the attack only because they had snuck out and gone on one of their “expeditions,” as Jespar called them. His father, Damean Dal’Varek, and two brothers were killed in an attack on the Dal’Varek estate. Jespar’s mother died giving birth to Adila. Jespar’s family included his father, mother, two brothers, and his younger sister, Adila. This may be due in part to his Sublime upbringing, which would allow him to have access to knowledge most people would never have. He regards himself as a mercenary, yet his knowledge of history and books reach beyond any common mercenary's skills and abilities. However, he tends to ignore or even hide this fact, as he sees titles as just a way for some people to feel superior to others. Jespar is a Sublime by his path, as indicated by the "Dal" prefix in his surname. He values personal gratification and avoids responsibilities, although this trait changes as the game progresses. Jespar has an easygoing and fun-loving personality. Jespar Dal'Varek, Every Day Like the Last, Part IV
