--------------------
Born to a destitute Varisian family in the city of Magnimar, Nicolae lived a difficult childhood. Always frail and sickly, but with a mind that never stopped questioning he never fit in. Not with his family. Certainly not with the other children of the street.
At the age of 11, Nicolae's sharp eyes and quick wit proved invaluable to an adventurer passing searching the slums for information. After the adventure, Gundahar Brandt, a wizard of some power, took Nicolae on as an apprentice. Never looking back, Nicolae followed new master out of Magnimar and into a life of sorcery and danger.
Nicolae's new life was short lived. The passing of less than a year saw his Gundahar dead outside Mendev and Nicolae sorely wounded at the hands of the demoness Akashira.
Recovering from the greevous mental wounds he suffered as Akashira attempted to destroy his mind, Nicolae vowed, never again would be weak prey. While still slight of build, no longer was Nicolae frail or easily tired. No longer the sickly child.
Magic was a gift, and one not to be discarded lightly, but no longer would he trust to magic alone to protect him. Growing up on the streets of Mendev, Nicolae found a new focus in life, studying the martial by day while serving as a squire and magic by candlelight.
It's been nine years since that fateful night, and Nicolae is not the child he once was. The nightmares still come at times, the whispering and chittering in the darkness, a sword calling in the distance and a destiny he cannot fathom before him.
Now is the time. Nicolae is no longer a squire, but a soldier of the crusades. He will face his nightmare and prove to them he is no longer afraid of the dark.
