Havarus has never been like anyone else in Kassan. But his story didn't start there.
It began in the nation of Cheliax, where is mother, a Khellid slave to some nameless minor noble house, was given to a secretly summoned and trapped Incubus as part of a payment in which it would divulge secrets demons use to combat devils. It was a short-lived arrangement, as a company of Hellknights discovered the demon and destroyed the house. Havarus' mother barely managed to escape, and after months of running and hiding, arrived in Kassan visibly pregnant. Taken in by Father Rantal Prasst's predecessor, she gave birth to a son, with barely visible horns atop his head. The Erastilan Priest didn't know what to do, but despite the boy's parentage, his mother pleaded for sanctuary in Kassan. It wasn't easy for the Cleric, but he managed to convince the Mayor to let them stay. There were conditions however. First, they had to stay at the temple where an eye could be kept on the boy. Second, the Cleric had to divine every year whether Havarus' heritage was beginning to corrupt him or not. So, every year on his birthday, the boy was scrutinized by divination spells, and while no evil was detected, very little good was ever found as well.
Growing up, Havarus managed to make friends with a young halfling by the name of Jimes Iggins. The two always were off on adventures in the nearby woods. Later Jimes got older, he got a job at Seven Silvers, where he developed and slight penchant for palming coins. Then there came a day when one of the Vargidan sprat-lings accidentally set fire to someone's residence. In that moment, Havarus showed his true colors when he rushed inside the burning building and helped those trapped inside, escape. Since then, he hasn't needed the divination's to determine whether he was evil or not, but he still insisted it be done, just for his own peace of mind that his father's blood wasn't making him evil. In addition to that, the young Tiefling soon began studying, vigorously, about demons, devils, and all matter otherworldly beings.
When he got be of working age, the Tiefling got work at the Seven Silvers with his friend Jimes. He found he had excellent reflexes to work as a waiter, always being very polite and being very nimble on his feet when avoiding collisions. It also didn't take long for the two friends to develop a little game, where Jimes would try to 'aquire' items, and Havarus would try to return them to their owners, all without anyone noticing. It got easier for the Tiefling when he suddenly developed the ability to manipulate objects at a short distance.
When the call for those to join in the Rite of Passage this year, Havarus couldn't resist the call any longer. Stepping forward, the young man eagerly volunteered for the adventure.
