About Killion

Born across the seas on Tian Xia, an entirely separate continent, Killion travelled to Virisia at a young age. This travel wasn't by choice, but at the insistence of his parents. He has never pieced the reasoning together completely, but knows that very bad people were after his family and this was an effort to keep him safe. His parents made him promise that he would assume a new name and he chose Killion when he landed in Sandpoint, a word that means "small but fierce warrior" in his native tongue.

Killion quickly learned the harsh realities of life in the frontier of Virisia. In his youth, he made the mistake of breaking a law of the land which resulted in punishment so severe that the viscious scars show across his face to this day. Killion was never quite right in the head after the beating he endured as a child, but he is exceedingly wise in an introspective sort of way. He has become quite strong, fast and resilient in his adulthood as well. While he will never be the crowd favorite and his mind may never fully recover, Killion will always find a way to survive.

After several long years of frequent travel, never really fitting in, Killion found a home in a small temple of Iomedae in the Virisian frontier. The monks of the temple took him in as one of their own and taught him their ways. While he learned much at the temple, he never entirely took on the beliefs, choosing to view good and evil in shades of grey over the black and white views the monks of the temple taught. Several years of training and many evenings of stories from knights and paladins of the order that passed through, seeking shelter and assistance for a night or a few days, showed Killion the path that fate had laid before him. On his 21 birthday, Killion left the temple and joined the Pathfinder Society. A few more years of intense training need for real life and death combat and he is ready to make his mark on the world.

Killion (pronounced KEE-lee-on) has terrible scars across his face from "frontier justice" experienced in the frontiers of Virisia as a child. The scars are accented by his almond colored skin and most people have some difficulty maintaining eye contact, preferring to look down than gaze upon his marred face. Killion has not told a lie since the day he gained his scars and has a deep belief that lies are wrong. He strongly believes that lies are what gave him his scars. Killion keeps himself clean shaven, both face and head. He is obsessed with cleanliness, something that is possibly attributed to his early trauma, and will always be found carrying soap.
