[QUOTE="Redclaw, post: 3740794, member: 53791"] [b]Asad the Silent, Human Monk[/b] About 15 years ago, a young boy was found in the wreckage of a merchant caravan by a group of monks on their way back to their monastery in the Blasted Desert. The child was unhurt, but his eyes showed that he had seen much more than his spirit could bear. The monks, usually very firm about their willingness to let the desert claim its rightful prey, took pity on the boy. They brought him with them to their home. The boy didn't say a word during the trip, and he refused to open his tightly clenched fist. It wasn't until he finally fell asleep that the brothers were able to pry his hand open, wherein they found a bloodstained signet ring bearing a lion crest that none of them recognized. The brothers cleaned it and returned it to the boy's hand, allowing him this one possession. The boy grew into adolescence without speaking a single word to any of the brothers, and without ever fully losing that look of pain and horror from his eyes. Needing to call him something, the monks named him Asad for the lion that marked his ring. Eventually he sought and recieved permission to train with the monks, and they taught him their fighting techniques, which focused on quickness and agility. Asad learned it in silence and intense focus. His early fascination and identification with the god Horus made it clear that he would spend his life seeking vengance for his family's deaths. Eventually the walls of the monastery proved too small for Asad, and he starting taking forays into the heat of the Blasted Desert. The brothers knew of his journeys, but saw no reason to try to prevent them. When he was in the monastery he participated in their training and he worked on whatever needed to be done. When he was gone, they trained and worked without him. It was only after his ventures began that Asad started talking again, although it was never much, and he could still go days without saying anything. The monks understood that this was just another step in the process of Asad's healing. Asad's explorations eventually led him to the remains of an oasis, now claimed by the desert. There he found several clues that led him to believe that the last residents of the oasis had been worshippers of Set.
