You are perfectly right. As the story takes place 20 yrs later - your hero is merely a disciple of the Temple of Order (founded by Divine One) and has to sort out this mess Daddy and Sonny created.
So, to give you my personal story about disciple Kiyana <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
She is - unlikely as other chars here - a foundling of the Verdistis Thieves in Rivellon (large town in Div.) As she was bored, strolling on the streets one day - she found a billboard, where the Temple asked for new recruits to fight evil, Black Ring etc. She had no interest in a Divine career, but thought, all those paladins would surely be worth of looting. Her weapon was a broomstick to sweep under their beds (and find a coin or 2) - her white rags the typical dress of a Temple Servant.
Kiyana was disappointed with the temple - those pallies kept their treasure in unlockpickable chests, cupboards and such - and some even trapped that! One day she heard a sergeant calling the guys for a large battle - she mounted her mule (horses were not allowed for her class) and decided to follow the army in search for bodies and their treasure. She figured out, the pallies would rather fight on than take care of what was dropped on the ground. Being the greedy little thief she was, she oversaw danger and was drawn into a sucking swirl - a rift and woke up in the cell, you know as well as I do. her skills were rudimentary => pickpocket and bow.
And this is how I play her => a thief, trying to sneak and loot her way through - disguising herself where she can, pinching what she can carry (and using that DK bloke as a mule). Trying to learn as much as she can from her enemies and gathering experience. She's practical, does not believe in needless killing, is eager to learn and open every skill path. Her favourite passtime is looking at her treasures and dreaming of taking over Sir Patrick's house in Verdistis (a rich noble) - by getting enough money to pay the assassin guild for his death.
See? no sequel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
