Balandusk was born Andusk. He grew up in a monastery in the northern Dalelands located near a temple dedicated to Lathander. On one cold winter night, he awoke with a feeling of dread. He looked around the room, and saw a creature killing his fellow monks. He was petrified with fear, and sat there watching as it killed everyone. The monster looked at him, and vanished. Andusk checked everyone within the monastery, and found them as cold and lifeless as the stone walls. Andusk fell into a deep despair, having been unable to do anything to save them. He decided to end his torment by ending his life. The next day, he woke up. He grew depressed that his attempt failed, and took his life again. And again, he woke up the next day. He noticed the silver scales on his body took on a dull look.
After a few hours of contemplation, he came to the conclusion that he was, infact, dead. He must have been given another chance to right the wrongs that happened in the temple. He resolved to take vengeance on the creature or creatures that killed his fellow monks, and not waste this second (third?) chance at life. He changed his name to reflect his new self. That night still haunts his dreams.
