Before the Fall – The Enforcer's Hand (Power)
Regar Blade was a precision tool for the Black Hand, the Mage Guild's secret police. His last assignment led him to the tower of Vensh Alaber, a mage preparing a dangerous, illicit summoning ritual. Regars job was to stop the mage and secure the research. He wasn't afraid of magic; he was a Spellthief. When Vensh blasted a Dispel Magic, Regar simply stepped into the energy, stealing the spell's essence and leaving Vensh momentarily bewildered. Regar was ruthless, efficient, and dangerous - the perfect agent.
The Disruption – Lady's Judgment (Chaos)
Regar and his team failed to abort the spell, only managing to disrupt the ritual's focus. The resulting energy tore open an uncontrolled conduit leading directly to Sigil, the City of Doors. Before the resulting planar catastrophe could manifest, the colossal, silent presence of the Lady of Pain manifested. She blocked the intended demonic entry and redirected the uncontrolled portal, tearing the warring magics apart. The resulting blast of wild magic dispersed the team, shattered Vensh's soul (leaving him a spectral haunting), and hurled senior Black hand agent, his mind scoured clean, into the chaos of Sigil. He was left with no memory, only a strange, purplish rune seared onto his hand next to black hand tattoo.
The New Contract – The Cutter Reborn (Faction)
Luke survived the streets of Sigil's Hive Ward on instinct and bursts of bizarre, inexplicable luck. He was haunted by the silent, moaning ghost of Vensh Alaber. One day, a note sealed with the emblem of the Black Hand was slipped to him. It asking him to report to a rendezvous point outside < site > for a "recovery op." The note offered no memories, but it offered purpose. He was now a Cutter - a Sigil local - and was once again The Hand's agent, heading back into the ruins, trusting his powerful luck to carry him toward a history he could not recall.
