The blood calls to Zacharia; it always has. His heritage leaves him with the Hunger, to the horror of his wet nurse at the orphanage, and growing up was a struggle to control his urge to feed on the other children (particularly the ones that angered him), grown only more confusing over the years as other desires began to arise and mingle with the one omnipresent one singing through his veins.
Were it not for a kind soul, a similarly afflicted priest who saw in Zacharia a kindred spirit, he might have turned to a dark path, shunned as he eventually became from the other children his age.
Instead he was brought into the care of Father Isaiah, a priest of Dalenydra. In practice he was also associated with Sarenrae's church, but adhered to a vow of strict pacifism and respect for life that even the Dawnflower's worshipers found extreme.
Father Isaiah taught Zacharia everything he knew about the human body, and those of the other races and tried to instill in him the values that Isaiah said allowed him to hold on while surrounded by those his body told him were food.
Zacharia appreciated the Father's kindness and tutoring, but would never quite gel with the philosophy. His blood ran hot and fast, and he turned the philosophy of medicine toward life: sometimes harm must be done to accomplish a great good. A diseased limb must be severed, and sometimes the cure to a disease ravaged the one healed. So could it be considered that the parasites that inflicted themselves on the populace should be purged, with the same prejudice that a tick would be removed and burst for the good of its host.
This came to a head when Zacharia turned his healing abilities to use removing the "disease" of a small group of toughs harassing the pacifistic priests of Dalnydra and Sarenrae.
While Father Isiah had come to love his charge, he could not reconcile that with the boy's radically different philosophy, and could no longer conscience teaching him the same talents he had turned to the violence he had so abhorred. Still, his skill in the medicinal arts could not be denied.
Not wanting to destroy Zacharia's future over their philosophical differences, and hoping he would come to seethe light one day, the priest pulled strings with a friend of his in the school to get him into their medical program, and set that friend to watching over him.
Ignore the sheet in the profile, this is a recycled alias from a very short lived game.
