Ethan’s beginnings started in a small forest town called
Charmain. Charmain was a thriving peaceful Sprite
village that had been around for years. Ethan was
born the younger brother of Enigma, who was
already 4 years older. Ethan’s parents were
prominent and very noble members of the city of
Charmain. His father was a high-ranking council
official, and his mother was a member of the Royal
Family that faded out years ago. She stayed at
home keeping care of the children. Ethan was usually off playing
with his good friend, Cololhe. His sister had already begun learning
the arts of a thief.
One day, just a few weeks after Ethan began studing ways of the magi,
he and Cololhe ventured off to the woods.
"Ethan, Ethan," called Cololhe as the two sprites wandered through
the deep dark forest. "Wait up."
They were on a journey to a cathedral where, for several years, they
had prayed to their holy gods. The catherdral had been abandoned for
years and was covered in growth from the forest. When they approached
the cathedral they suddenly felt as though something was
drastically different. As they ventured to the altar where they
had prayed they saw movements of horrible creatures in the shadows
but thought nothing of it. Ethan led as they approached the altar
of pure gold and silver. When they knelt to the altar, Ethan heard
a terrible scream wreaking of death. He turned and saw, in horror, the
dismbodied parts of his once best friend. Rising at the speed of
lightning Ethan drew his sword and was ready for battle. When he
turned to see what had killed his friend he saw nothing. Nothing
was in within the presence of Ethan. At that second he heard the
most horrible and terrible voice emminating from a hell spawned creature
and damning Ethan into evil forevermore.
Not shortly after, mayhap three weeks, a group of orcs and warlocks
swept through the city and killed all but a few. This was the same
group that had massacred the nearby human city of Gorge’s Fall.
Both Ethan and Enigma were left with few others. They took
their separate ways -- both the pure embodiment of evil.
Seven years passed before the to siblings were to see each other
again. From then on they have kept good contact with each other.
Even with evil tainted across his heart, there is an inkling of
good in him, but barley enough to return to his former self.
