When Paladin Decen of Acadia was killed by Prime Aspect Mogul of Sin, the young Paladin successfully unleashed the Power of the Paladins, and thus his body and consciousness dispersed to the multiverse, each portion of his being growing and evolving into a Remnant.

During the timespan of Guardian Merrow's escape from Mogul, she teamed up with the remnants of Decen to take down the Prime Aspect, but was unsuccessful, leading to the slaughter of all of Decen's remnants but one, who was sent to another universe to grow up as Jonathan "The Black Jason" Crypt, who became soul bound to familiar Connor "The Sentry" Shel.

General Overview

A remnant of Decen was born from the Paladin's consciousness. Each remnant represented an aspect of Decen pertaining to his quality, and when the remnants all came together, they completed Decen's personality as a whole.

Each remnant of a typical Paladin would usually possess the Paladin's power at a fraction, and when banded together as one, would be equivalent to the original Paladin's power. However, because during the time Decen had summoned the power of the Paladins, he had absorbed numerous meta humans. Thus, each Decen remnant possessed an additional "special" ability in addition to a fraction of the Paladin's power.

Most of Decen's remnants were similar in appearance and personality to Decen, but there have been some exceptions, like The Black Jason, who had noticeably more muscle mass than the average remnant, as commented by Guardian Merrow.

Default Powers

Each remnant of Decen possessed an inherent small scale healing factor, but due to being fractionalized, this healing factor was reduced down to the immune system level. This keeps remnants healthy, and immune to many diseases. When Remnant John Crypt was infected by the Corruption, his "Remnant Nature" as he described it, kept him immune to the effects of the Corruption, essentially battling the Corruption from within his body. However, the effort damaged his internal organs.

Another common quality of a remnant is their superhuman strength and durability. However, being fractionalized, this level was significantly less than Decen's strength and durability. For some remnants, this quality would emerge from trauma, or through training.

Known Remnants

Several remnants have already been disclosed.

• Jonathan "The Black Jason" Crypt: Representing Decen's tenacity and perseverance, Jason was the only surviving remnant known. Jason was Decen's 15th Remnant, making him the youngest of the Remnants of Decen. Jason possessed Decen's superhuman strength and durability, but required intense strength and conditioning training to awaken. Jason's "special" ability was the Soul Link, which was obtained when Decen absorbed a mage during an assassination contract. Jason is the only known remnant to possess an athletic physique, and stands at an unusual 6 feet tall, which is significantly taller than his Remnant brethren.
