Brief background
Thirian was of house Lyrandar. As a teen, he spent his time as an actor in plays, as well as learning some of the bladework from a bodyguard. He was strong, quick, and had a winning personality. When a dragonmark failed to develop, he was still given an airship to captain when he came of age. He was mostly involved in trading as the captain. He had a charming personality, and a quick wit. He became even more successful when he realized he had success in silently cursing his clients, making them stutter over their words, and making his goals much easier to realize. Soon his success had spread like wildfire within the house. Members of his family had become jealous of the successful youngster without the dragonmark. They framed him, they made it look like he was skimming some money off the top of his trade deals to desert from the house and start his own airship trading company. The House didn't see through the ruse and they kicked out Thirian, stripping his of his heritage and his airship. Thirian was mad. He had come to have several capable friends. One day while a local airship crew was away, his friends and himself, stole the airship after defeating the crew in combat. One particular moment stood out. They thought they were home free. They found a priest of the dark six. As they flew out over the water, Thirian hauled the man out onto the main deck. The man spoke of prophecy. It was seen that that they would come. One that holds a dormant mark would come and take up the reins of darkness. In disgust, Therian threw the man over the side, towards the water 50 ft below. The priest reached out, Therian thought he was trying to pull him over as well. Therian was surprised when the man's holy symbol was wrapped around his wrist. The man's splash barely echoed in his ears as Immediatey upon holding the symbol, a dark whispering filled his mind, promising riches and revenge upon the house that exiled him. He kept the symbol, and whatever powers whispered to him, gave him power as well. Five years passed, Thirian and his friends pirated the airs, they became rich, and powerful. Until the fateful day came where they were captured.
