If you look closely at the embroidery it is actually a prayer to Ehlonna written in elvish asking for shelter against the harms of the world aka the Storm. Aekir had been hired to eliminate a thief who thought he could operate independently. When he found him, he was in the process of raping a young priestess of Ehlonna. Aekir cut him down while he was in the act and left.

His muscular body is pale, but still caries a slight tan color, denoting his elemental heritage. His eyes are dull and flat and completely black.

The reason for this is his body is covered in blasphemous runes cut into his flesh that have never healed, though they do not bleed. His fingers end in bony blades, which are usually covered with padded gloves, until he uses them.</p><p></p><p><strong>Personality:</strong></p><p></p><p>Quiet and cold, Aekir shows no emotions.
