Background: Born in Old Morilanta.
Father – high-ranking military officer.
Mother – socialite.

Joined military at 16 out of obligation to follow in his father’s footsteps rather than real desire to enlist. Was a model soldier: efficient, disciplined, quick to follow orders and followed them to the letter. Unfortunately, lacked much in the way of ambition. Rather than aspire to climb the ranks, he was most often a tool used by others to advance. Father viewed him as a disappointment and failure in this respect. Mother shared this opinion, being a social climber.

Cut off from family money at 25. At 26, brought to light his father’s indiscretions (mostly dealing with funneling money into his own coffers) at the behest of his father’s direct subordinate. Father was stripped of rank and his subordinate rose to his position. Mother was Most Displeased, as this hurt her own standing and cut her disposable income considerably. Father died a few months later, causes unknown. "Officially," he died of a fever.

Dodged a few attempts on his life over the next few years (he was unambitious, not stupid). Though there was never any solid evidence, he assumed most, if not all, of such attempts were through the machinations of his mother.

Was around 30 when Contrasta sank and took the opportunity to leave the military. At the time, he felt Rajani seemed more certain of matters than what remained of the army. He entered the priesthood of Evil when New Morilanta was established, operating as an acolyte much as he did as a soldier. He kept himself alive while ingratiating himself to those above him, contenting himself to serve (or be bought).

Name: Dawn
Gender: Female
Age: 39
Birthdate: Fall, y. 978
Elemental Signs: None; Clear
Occupation: Priestess of Thuoth
Homeland: New Morilanta, formerly Mentis, originally Lacuna
Family: None


Physical Appearance:

• Dark skin
  
• Short
  
• Curvy
  
• Brown eyes
  
• Short, curly black hair with a few streaks of grey
  
• Heart-shaped face
  
• Full lips

Personality:

• Coy
  
• Adaptable
  
• Thinks fast on her feet
  
• Will get her hands dirty if needed, but prefers to get people to do things for her
  
• Uses her Clear ability rarely

Background: Grew up in Lacuna, became acolyte at 10, sub-priest at 14, full priest at 17. Viewed slavery as something that simply was, it was the way things were and as they should be. Considered it to have no moral implication one way or the other.

Left Lacuna for Mentis at age 20, roughly 3 years before its destruction. Family perished in the attack. Ventured to New Morilanta several years after its founding, feeling that perhaps they were being vilified much as Clears had been in the past, and so wanted to see for herself. Okay, so the rumours weren’t all that exaggerated, but she didn’t care much. Blood sacrifice aside, she found it to be quite civilized and made the temple there her new home. Kept her race a secret and has made sure to kill anyone she has had to ensnare.

Does not think much of the forced muteness that Morilanta’s Thuothan priests embrace and has her own tongue quite firmly in her mouth, thank you very much.

Background: Youngest son to a poor family; sent to the temple as a child to lighten the strain on the household. Originally was an acolyte to Evil, but felt the call to Taed the Merciful more keenly as he grew older; would put sick, injured, and abused animals out of their misery. Does the same now to people, though he will withhold a merciful death from those he feels do not deserve it.

Met wife at age 18; she was 15. She was an apprentice to the artist that the temple most often commissioned. He was attracted more to her work than the woman herself, but pursued her nonetheless. Sired two sons, and likely has bastards here and there in Darkthrone.
