Thomaethy the Enchanter

Thomaethy the Enchanter is a reclusive young human sorcerer, only 22 years of age. He is resentful of the system which deems him unfit for society and does whatever he needs to do to survive.

His mother, Cirella, worked as a deckhand on the merchant ship Debutante, ferrying rare spices and textiles from Darvish to the palace at Savior's Reach. During a routine expedition the unknowingly pregnant Cirella and the crew of the Debutante encountered a massive storm in the icy waters of the Cassian Sea.

The severe storm rendered it impossible to navigate and the Debutante was blown into the treacherous cliffs of Claw Island, destroying the ship and killing most of the crew. Somehow, Cirella survived and washed ashore near the village of Olon along the eastern coast of the main continent of Meridian. It was here that she gave birth to Thomaethy and the two lived relatively normal lives until Thomaethy began to come of age.

As he entered young adulthood, the boy's skin grew an unnatural pale color and he began to develop small, hard scales across his shoulders and back. In moments of frustration, anger and even joy, other nearby villagers would feel the temperature around them drop, as if summer had suddenly become a winter's night.

Disturbed by the child, the villagers refused to look Thomaethy and his mother in the eye, pretending that they did not exist and interacting with them as little as possible.

One afternoon, after returning home with fish he had caught for supper, Thomaethy arrived to find his modest home torn to pieces, his belongings smashed and shattered, and his mother gone. Realizing he was alone, he vowed to learn to wield the power he felt stirring within him and to use it to fight back against the oppression he had felt his entire life. He would find those who had taken his mother from them and enact his revenge.

He left the village of Olon and has traveled the main continent of Meridian on foot ever since, never staying in one place for very long, searching and developing his powers.
