[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 750356, member: 5675"] [SIZE=3]The History of Pharaxes the Mage[/SIZE] [B]Age:[/B] 24 A Chessenta street kid, life has not been kind to Pharaxes. Orphaned at an early age, Pharaxes early education was at the Primary School of Hard Knocks as a beggar and petty thief. A natural talent for the arcane set him apart from others of his kind (even in Chessenta) and Childhood was a lonely time. The next stage of his education began with a bungled pick-pocket attempt. Cutting the purses of Mages is a risky enterprise at best, and for Pharaxes it was probably only his latent magical gifts that saved him from obliteration. Only a few days in the service of Thersos Morieth, the Mage whose purse he had attempted to lighten, may have given Pharaxes cause to wonder if to be obliterated was to be more truly saved. Thersos, quite apart from making little distinction between his apprentices and his slaves, was also a Demonologist and Necromancer. Pharaxes doesn't sleep much. Pharaxes endured 15 years of apprenticeship to Thersos before finally discovering what he hopes is a way of escaping his master and the pet demons. The portal that he used to escape is one of many that his Thersos has created to reach across the planes. From time to time a slave or an apprentice will attempt to flee in much the same way, but until now have only contrived to select themselves as sacrifice in the next demon summoning.
