[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 7003735, member: 1560"] Cliff Notes Version: Leth'ael was born to a high elf mother and human father nearly forty years ago, though he has no memory of them. He knows only that he was raised by the priests and monks of the church, in the shining, high elven city of Velanthomyr. The priests and monks steadfastly avoided speaking to him regarding his parents, or of how he came to be adopted by the church. Or perhaps they did not know. Either way, he gave up asking decades ago. His name, Leth'ael (meaning "Given of the Gods" in elvish), was bestowed upon him by a paternal, senior member of the clergy, Prefect Xethrym. As the elderly priest had long felt the boy's presence was no mere coincidence. That it was the Gods who sent him to be among them. Even at an early age, it became apparent that he was a uniquely gifted child. All the more striking given his "deluded" blood. And his keen devotion to the faith meant he would likely serve the church for the rest of his life in one manner or another. So it wasn't long before he was inducted into the elite, mysterious Order of the Unseen. There, despite objections from some for his questionable lineage, he trained. Yet even in such an exclusive and demanding faction as the Unseen, he continued to excel. So much so that he would eventually be awarded the esteemed title, [I]Hand of the Gods[/I]. A recognition not many Unseen receive. Only the most elite and devoted. Even after graduating, his impeccable skills and devotion would eventually earn him additional bestowed honors within the Order, such as [I]Queen's Shadow[/I] and [I]Whispering Blade[/I]. And from his peers, singular nicknames such as [I]the Pale Ghost[/I] and [I]the White Raven[/I]. Though his detractors within the Order would come to call him by a far more derogatory name, [I]the Half-Blood Hand[/I]. Leth'ael now serves as a clandestine agent of the high elven church, tasked with eliminating difficult problems and serve the church's interests in delicate matters such that the faith may prevail and flourish. The needs of the church demand it. And Leth'ael knows only to serve. Unquestioningly. [/QUOTE]
