But when he was only four years old, a Gorukan war band, on the run from the Knights of Shillen, passed through the hamlet, looking for food and provisions. Most of the villagers were unharmed. Devan’s father, however, was unable to avert his eyes from the Gorukan commander, and one could plainly see the hatred and malice in his eyes. For that one look, Devan’s parents were slain. The Gorukans quickly took the provisions they needed, and moved on. Devan was raised by a neighbor, a halfling named Cecil Torrington. As Devan got older, he learned to farm his own land, and as a young adult, managed to eke out his existence from the soil. The land was good, but Devan just didn’t have a knack for farming. Then one day an adventuring party came and needed a place to stay for the night , Cecil let the party stay at his farm.  Living somewhat of a sheltered life Devan went to the barn and visited the party , when he got there they were practicing there archery skills.  There Devan met Ren, a man that was skilled beyond any man that Devan had seen with the bow.  So , the party offered Devan to practice with them.  He nervously picked the bow up , surprisingly the bow felt natural to him.  So he let his first shot go, almost perfect.  Beginners luck they said, Devan's next shot WAS perfect.After Devan met Ren, and discovered his own natural knack for archery, Devan spent less time farming, and more time training his body to become a fighter.  The party kept coming on and off when they needed a place to stay and everytime they came Ren taught Devan something new, eventually they became  close friends. As Devan gained in strength and dexterity, it became clearer and clearer that while he wasn’t much of a farmer, he could excel as a warrior. Cecil saw this too. Devan had the same fierceness that his father did, the fierceness that caused his father’s, and his mother’s, deaths. Cecil was saddened as he realized Devan’s future was not as a peaceful farmer, but as a war-like fighter. After much soul-searching, Cecil made a decision, and before he died, told his adopted son the story of his parents’ deaths. The name of the Gorukan commander who murdered his parents was Nazdin.  Then one day the party showed up again, it was a gloomy day and one Devan would not ever forget.  Ren had been mortally woounded, Devan's closest friend and mentor was dying.  As Ren was dying at Devan’s farm, Ren told him his secret. Among the Vizelan elves of the Severin Forest, there is an elite group called the Order of the Bow. Ren hinted the Order existed in other places as well. Ren was admitted into the Order after many years of service. Some years ago, an artifact was stolen from the Order, known as the Book of the True Bow. Ren and his adventuring band were seeking to recover this artifact for the Order. The Book of the True Bow was said to contain all the knowledge of the Order of the Bow, and would enable a student to learn the techniques without benefit of a teacher. Ren and his companions were chasing a bandit known only as Shadow, who was believed to have possession of the book. Ren’s adventuring band calls themselves the Blood Hawks. To make matters worse, the Blood Hawks told him,  Nazdin the Gorukan commander, the being that had killed his parents was also the one responsible for Ren's death.  When Ren died, Devan made a vow.  He would find Shadow, he would recover the book, and he would avenge Ren and his parents.Soon after Ren's death Cecil also passed away, Devan knew then that he must leave this life.  He was not a farmer but something more.  His calling came soon , a strange letter asking for his assistance.  So Ren gathered his things and began his new life.PersonalityDevan is quiet and yet calm in the most drastic situations. He values the bow above all else in life and strives to further his understanding with the bow. __________________</blockquote>
