Maddox had originally been human until a mission in the Anthras Mountains had left him gravely injured, a different species, and without any clear memories of what had happened. Maddox still couldn’t remember what happened, and Cal offered to show him. Cal showed him a vision from those forgotten moments.He was running through a dark place, a cave. There was someone else there. Someone he was trying to rescue? He stopped and turned to face their pursuers, a group of armed Bugbears (bandits or smugglers maybe?). A brief struggle ensued. He managed to take down some of the bandits, but they overwhelmed him. The largest Bugbear grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground. Maddox spat in his face and let a handful of grenade pins fall from his clenched fist. Everything is drowned out by light and noise. As the light fades he sees another human face hovering over him, Wolfgang von Recklinghausen. “You’ve saved my life this day, and I will do the same.”As the disjointed images faded, Cal told Maddox he probably should have kept a closer eye on the good doctor. Wolfgang was quite good at disappearing. Cal revealed that Maddox was a chimera (not the three headed kind), a creature stitched together from multiple individuals. Cal said Lanjyr needed heroes to protect it, and he could offer Maddox a way to continue protecting his country and the world.Cal offered to make Maddox truly immortal by making him a fiend. After Maddox lived out his mortal life, he would be reborn in hell as a devil or demon. Maddox balked at the idea, pointing out that Clergy doctrine described damned souls as being tortured to the point of losing all trace of their past existence before becoming the most wretched and lowly fiends. Cal assured him that this method circumvented the normal process, and he would retain all of his memories and personality. Maddox didn’t accept Cal’s offer, and Cal told him the offer was still on the table if he ever changed his mind.[/sblock]</blockquote>
