Background
Birth and Secrecy
Kailas was born in Westholt, a small Imperial village of hunters and farmers. His mother fled the Empire before his birth after becoming pregnant with Emperor Corvin Thorian’s child outside the sanctioned royal bloodlines.
She eventually settled in Westholt with a man named Garrik, who raised Kailas alongside his own biological son. For most of his life, Kailas did not know the truth of his parentage.
Shortly before Kailas left Westholt to adventure with his younger brother, his mother finally told him that Corvin Thorian was his biological father and that she had been hunted since before his birth. It was the last time Kailas saw her, and her current fate remains unknown.
The Academia
During his travels, Kailas’s younger brother became gravely ill. At a tavern, a man identifying himself as Professor Loryn offered to bring the boy to a prestigious academy capable of curing him.
Instead, the academy subjected both brothers to horrific experimentation. Kailas’s younger brother did not survive. Kailas did, emerging transformed by unstable magic tied to intense emotion and fury.
Kailas was eventually broken out of the academy by a group of adventurers and joined their party.
Hatred of the Empire
Kailas lays nearly every major loss in his life at the Empire’s feet: his mother’s persecution, his childhood as a fugitive, his brother’s death, and his own forced transformation.
During the party’s return to Jurin, he finally revealed that Emperor Corvin Thorian was his father and that the current emperor, Lucian Thorian, knows Kailas may have a stronger claim to the throne than he does. Because of that, the Empire is trying to erase him.
