About Tashewren

Tashewren Backstory

Tashewren is the noble son of a minor house in Chelix. Unfortunately, like most people in Cheliax, the rules for subterfuge, decpetion, and outright competitiveness meant a rough childhood for Tashewren. Bullied, almost always alone, and punished frequently for not being "strong enough," Tashewren grew to hate his parents, with a passion.

One day, as a youth at the young age of 13, Tashewren met a group of malcontents upset with the way things were being run in Cheliax. In them, Tashewren found kindred spirits, and quickly adopted to the ways of the group. The group was, of course, a cult, hoping to raise a demon in order to end the Cheliax rule. Having Tashewren, son of one of the minor houses, seemed perfect.

So they told Tashewren to stand in the circle, as they summoned the demon, presumably to "be the first to greet the glorious being who would end the reign of the Cheliax houses." He eagerly volunteered.

What they summoned, however, was Lux, a succbus who quickly took the young Tashewren ravaged him. After she was done, she killed the rest of the cultists. As Tashewren cowered in the corner, alone, ashamed, and afraid, Lux whispered into his ear.

She told him about how he had really been a sacrifice, how he had never factored into the cultists plans beyond ending a line of the noble houses. She told him how she instead had plans for him, larger plans, that she found him to be valuable, impressively valuable, even. She promised him that she would one day call on him, and use him to exact the vengeance that he sought, though forever and ever he would remain hers, her sacrifice.

Tashewren had never heard this type of speech before. Slowly, he began to warm to the ideas Lux preached- she thought he was important, and her plans aligned with his! How quickly swore himself to her; Tashewren, the first of Lux's disciples.

She departed him then. He grew up, quickly learning to maneuver in courtly circles, and becoming just like his "father" wished. Even his parents began to warm up to him, this totally inexplicable change in the boy, showing his cleverness, and most important, ruthlessness, being an advantage.

By night, Tashewren led a live of carnal pleasure, seeking out whatever, whoever he could, delighting himself in the pleasures of gambling, alcohol, and sex. In disguise, he found himself a master, never letting anyone discover his true identity- not unless he killed them first, of course.

And when she called, finally, after so long, he came eagerly- finding an excuse in the tournament around the Armasse Holiday. And so the adventure began....
