Background:
Born in a brothel in the capital city of Heliogabalus, Vahr spent his early life running amuck as a street urchin as such bastard born are wont to do. Thanks in part to his outgoing and shameless personality and in part to the stout size he gained early in life he caught the attention of a young knight of the Golden Cup in the city after participating in the losing end of a street brawl to defend a smaller child. The young Vahr took to the fatherly behavior of the knight and quickly fell into line to model himself after the warrior. As Vahr aged and his training grew more formal, it became obvious that his calling was to something other than to the Suffering God.
The Knight of the Golden Cup at soonest chance passed his rambunctous squire off to an aging Paladin of Torm. The traveling elder accepting Vahr's tutelage and agreeing to train him fully as per Vahr's own calling. Bidding farewell to his mother, Vahr took the surname Reitter to be his own as he began traveling the world with the aged knight, studying combat, faith, knighthood, and what it meant to be a man from his tutor.
Following his own Vowing to Torm, and his tutor's retirement from the road in his home Kingdom of Cormyr, Vahr's travels have found him wandering westward towards the Swordcoast.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:

Likewise, growing up hungry Vahr has a weakness for food and is prone to over indulge.
Given his colorful background, Vahr is not as prim as most paladins and can at times be downright boisterous.
It is not enough to merely be skilled or successful, but the onlookers must be wowed by the display as well.
