Background:
Ryo Antairus is a man with little in the way of family after last rebirth. Sure, he had people he knew, but none of them stuck around when his magic seemed to become uncontrollable and he became plagued by nightmares and psychic outbursts. Many thought this to be the work of dark spirits, and when a local priest could not help, they ran Ryo out of town and into the Mana Wastes, viewing the act as a form of execution.
He did not die though. Injured and grew sick, yes, but he did not die. Desna smiled on him one night and the next thing he knew he was waking up in Khonnir Baine's domicile. He was surprised to find himself well rested and without the headache that he had suffered since his magic grew wild.
Baine explained what he believed had happened, something about a flawed rebirth that led to multiple past lives trying to occupy his body, and that he was going to help Ryo control those past lives as best he could. That day Ryo Antairus became an apprentice to Khonnir Baine.
