[QUOTE="Rolzup, post: 4125178, member: 10105"] [b][SIZE=2]Skamos Redmoon[/SIZE][/b] [sblock=History]Skamos is a foundling, left quite literally on the doorstep of the famed magus Labroth of the Hungry Eyes. It's entirely possible that whoever left the infant tiefling there was hoping that the infamous wizard would sacrifice him to some demon or another, or perhaps use him to cast some sort of horrifying spell ("He uses the blood of babes to paint his foul runes, y'know.
