Devon grew up in the forests of Taligrade. Ostensibly his father was a woodlands trapper and furrier, but secretly he was a priest of Asmodeus. Devon's childhood was far from easy. His father, ever disdainful of weakness, demanded that his son be self sufficient and hard. Devon's father constantly tested him and severly punished any failures. All was not drudgery though. Devon did get to meet all manner of strange folk as he grew up because of his father's connections with the more unsavory races and beings that inhabited the dark places in the forest and underground. Seeing Devon's almost preternatural quickness, his father enhanced his training by having him tutored by various members of his circle.
Devon took to fencing with amazing speed. His natural grace flowing perfectly with the style of swordsmanship that utilized finesse over brute strength. He grew into exactly the man his father envisioned, tough, resourceful and merciless. He inherited in full his father's contempt of weakness. But Devon also grew extremely tired of rural life and the artificial hardships his father imposed on them. He and his father argued more and Devon's fear and respect lessened. The day came when he struck his father back and was surprised at the ease with which he knocked his father down. All the fear turned instantly into contempt and he paid his father back in the same coin that his father understood, slaying him.
Devon exulted in his new found freedom. He left the wilds and spent several years traveling from city to city. He searched out illicit fights and duels constantly; proving his superiority to others. The ban against dueling grated, but he was always able to find action. The few times he was involved in public altercations, he was able to appear as the aggrieved party. Unfortunately chance finally caught up to him. He killed an opponent in a duel for sport. Unaware that the place was being watched by the guard for suspected illegal activity, Devon was easily caught while collecting his winnings. Now he sits awaiting his sentence in Brandescar Prison. However, if these cowardly gaolers think they can just remove his head from his shoulders, they are in for a rude awakening. Devon just bides his time for now.
