Castrio

Castrio was born in the region of Miyarn, a small fishing village on the coast of Dymeria. However, he spent most of his time with his grandfather, an old retired warrior and head of the village since his father's death in the Northern wars when Castrio was a young boy. Castrio had no desire to be a fisherman, and with the help of his Grandfather's introduction eventually went to a swordsman's school in Megara. Eventually fresh out od training and loaded down with debt, he became a bodyguard to a mage who was travelling to find special ingredients for his spell-casting. Eventually, he became interested in spell-craft as well, and even after paying off his debt to the sword-school, he stayed with the mage, this time selling his services for instruction in sorcery. Both he and his mentor loved to travel, and they covered many thousands of kilometres, adventuring and seeking out arcane knowledge. This bucolic period came to an end, when their investigations led them into asking questions a powerful lord wanted ignored, and Castrio's mentor was assassinated. Castrio swore vengeance - not just on the hand that had wielded the blade, but also on the mind that had ordered it. Eventually he discovered the group responsible for the old magician's death and he joined them under an assumed name. With his skill with a blade and his magical powers it didn't take him long to work his way up the ladder of command, until he discovered the name of the lord who had ordered the assassination. With his newly acquired skills, it was not hard for Castrio to avenge his fallen mentor and friend. With that deed done, he headed out for new territory. There are warrants out on his head - both an official one from the Lord's family and a less formal but no less deadly one from the thieves and cut-throats he used to associate with. Castrio doesn't care. Wiser in the ways of the world, he uses his skills now to avenge wrongs that the powerful visit on the weak.
