I am after all a Tiefling; the spawn of the unholy union of a human and a hell spawn. My mother Magda was a young girl of 15 when she was captured and raped. The beast left her for dead in the forest but a traveling merchant found her. He took her to the closest village and left her with the clerics. Mother was so traumatized that she could not remember what had happened until the day of my birth. I came out of her womb in a display of pain that Father Pietor says he had never seen before. Mother almost died that day and I almost with for her sake that she had.It was not easy for Magda to find work of housing with me at her breast and even after I was grown enough to lend a hand in our shelter I was still more a liability than an aid. Father Pietor has shown me as a small boy how to meditate and call the calming powers of my mind to keep me from loosing control and tapping into my infernal side. Unfortunately this is a struggle that I still suffer from. I would at one moment be helping mother with her work and the next minute I would be beating a peer for calling me a name. The tide turned for us on my 15th birthday. I was able to steal enough money from that horrid slumlord that mother worked for to allow mother and I to part company. I don’t know if she knew where I got the money and I don’t think she cared. She headed away south from the city of Dravonshire and I headed north towards the cold that I hoped would either kill me of calm me. Trust fate to lend an unwanted hand to me. I had been traveling for months and finally was in the frozen wastes feeling the life slip from my weary body when a hunting party found me. They nursed me back to health despite my request that they do otherwise.Rothschild Harriman was the head of the hunting party and he took under his wing. A mage of some power he raised me as his apprentice explaining that my heritage would lend itself strongly to magic and that he could help me to understand myself. It has been 5 years since I met Harriman and now I stand strong and proud of whom I have become. Fate is no longer my guide. I am.</blockquote>
