They were also thieves when they felt no one was watching them."Zeric paused as he warred with the desire to speak, however briefly, of his past and his more pragmatic side. In the end, his words betrayed his decision."They were captured by followers of Hextor while we were on the road. They had been foolish enough to break into what they believed was a church of Heironeous, but quickly found out how wrong they were. My father had his throat slit in the street in front of me, and while they did not force me to see my mother being violated for their enjoyment, I heard them all the same..."Turning a corner as they approached the gathering hall, Zeric's strides never slowed as his voice became flat and emotionless once more."For the next six years, I was in the camps of the Hextorites as they sought to mold me into their god's image. I was taught to kill men, women, and children without remorse if they stood in the way of Hextor's will, and truthfully, I learned my lessons very well. However, while they taught me to be deadly, they could not convert me to be a follower of their black blooded god and when I tried to escape from them, they taught me the error of my ways..."Zeric's eyes were distant as the neared the room."I begged for death that night Raven. I begged for death with every god that would listen, but Hextor made my words fall upon deaf ears. However, in his folly, he called off his dogs before they finished the job and the Cuthbertians found me. Ironic is it not? The god of vengence taking pity on a soul such as mine, but the pity came with a price. The church does not trust me fully, they believe me to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, but yet here I am, acting in their will to save those who can't save themselves. Perhaps this is why Cuthbert spared me, perhaps I am to be his tool of dark vengence..."</blockquote>
