Ajantis Biography
When asked about his past, AJANTIS announces that he is a squire-paladin of the Order of the Most Radiant Heart, and that he enforces the power and discipline of Helm. He belongs to the noble family of Ilvastarr in Waterdeep, and has studied swordplay under such luminaries as Myrmith Splendon. His skill and devotion apparently brought him to the attention of the paladin Keldorn, one of the most respected of the order, who decided to take Ajantis under his wing as a squire. Recently Ajantis has asked for the honor of becoming a full-fledged member of the order. To accomplish this he has traveled to the Sword Coast, in order to help curtail the increased humanoid activity in the region. If he succeeds in his quest the order will vote on his eligibility for membership. He seems utterly devoted to his mission.
Being a paladin, Ajantis doesn't like Evil-aligned companions:
His honor is his life, and he'll eventually unsheathe his sword for the glory of Helm:
The difference being that he and his target don't break out of the party. This means the player can simply select Ajantis and move him away in order to reset him.

Xan and Ajantis certainly have their differences. This one is indirect in that Xan interjects when Ajantis complains about Evil party members:
