Background

Jezz the albino as he was known among the darkelven gangs at the sewers of Arborea.

Born after a lusty night between a darkelven lady and an arborean guard, Jezz spent his childhood ashamed of his human nature and listening constantly the jokes of the other darkelves about his poor eye-sight and his lack of agility. Her mother didn't care about him and her only help came when the other darkelves now and then tried to kill him.

At the age of 18 he silently left the sewers and saw the surface world for the first time of his life. The sun burned his skin and eyes and the clean air intoxicated his lungs, so he searched for cover at the first building he saw opened, the Golden Dragon inn. There he found Iske, an elven shao-lin, Black, a human legionarie and Ryan, a tshahark. Before he could realize, he was teaming with them and fighting for his life at Ironhold, where he nearly died due to his lack of experience. The three fighters teached him a lot about how to survive in the world, and after some days training he decided to become a shao-lin himself.

The next years were the happiest of his life: He met many travelers and was known for his kindness and bravery in combat, specially enjoying his time spent with Iske, Tarlon, a dwarven cleric of Asral and Glorfindel, a Taniel cleric with whom he liked to spar often. He earned money by cleaning the goblinoid camps near the Amward plains and selling the loot at Arborea, and quickly climbed among the shao-link ranks.

But one day...

The goblinoid swords and armours were scattered on the ground, and while he was picking them, a strange amulet appeared under a leather cuirass. The iron ornament showed an open mouth with long fangs, and Jezz liked it. Careless as he was in his youth, he immediately wore the amulet, and the voice sounded clearly in his mind:

"You are mine"

And he was indeed, the Mother, Lilith, claimed the soul of the young shao-lin for her, in a time where the cult of the goddess had barely a single known follower. Jezz started a crusade against any traveler that would harm her creatures, and there were many. Soon, he was an enemy even among the shao-lin ranks, where Isha'el, one of his old masters, declared himself as his personal nemesis. Alone against all his old comrades, Jezz managed to become a threat to the elven lands, where he used to sneak into Elvandar to kill the guards at the walls often.

In the end, he found himself unable to leave his hideout without a team appearing to hunt him, and a new Master of the shao-lins, Druzilla, quickly found a reason to expel him from the shao-lins. Where other Masters couldn't find a strong reason to do so, a simple-minded tshahark invented a whole theory that ended with his life as shao-lin.

- "Mother, help me, I have worshipped and fought anyone in your name so your sons could grow faster and stronger, and I have never asked you anything in return. Mother, give me a signal that what I'm doing pleases you. Mother..."

Nothing, silence. Jezz cried and his whole life stopped to have any sense. Hated by anyone, even the second mother he had got, without a purpose to live anymore, he visited the Lilithian temple in Ironhold, where he asked the flind there to end with his life for good. The cleric raised his sword to behead him, when 3 clerics appeared in the room.

The fight was quick, bone spears, trembling grounds and thin streams of darkness finished the flind and his two troll bodyguards, leaving a room painted in blood. Even after the combat, the clerics looked as if they had not noticed him, until one of them, a black-haired elf looked at him.

- "Hmmmm, what do we do with the wimp kneeling here? Looks like he's ready to follow the other goblinoids"

Another elf, this one a female, simply shrugged and abandoned the temple, followed by the first elf. Only the third one, a dwarf, stayed there gazing at Jezz.

- "Stand up fool, you only will kneel in front of the Lord of Bones"

And he never kneeled again.

The story after Jezz became a follower of Sathonys is clouded in mistery and goships. Some travelers claim he was seen lurking around with a brand on his forehead, a tear of fire, the symbol of Lilith and that he suddenly started to burn in green flames, screaming in pain. Others whisper that he killed the clerics above him after becoming a slave of the Lich Lord, and thus became a high-ranked cleric sooner than anyone else before, even slaying the Dreadmaster back then, Shadowca, and claiming the leadership of the Death Church for himself.

What everyone considers true, is that since Jezz became a sathonite, the list of fighters and enemies he has fought is nearly endless. He quickly became a deadlier threat to the southern lands than he ever was as a lilithian. As the Dreadmaster of the Church, many followers were recruited as clerics, but none of them managed to stand up to his expectations and slowly, he started to lose the faith in the chance that some day, a mortal could be strong enough both in mind and body to become a worthy servant for the Lord of Bones.

One day, he was informed of a crazy human that was challenging crusaders and tanielites while admitting he was a follower of the Black Knight, and what sounded even more interesting, he was giving them a hard time killing him.

A young shao-lin wearing an iron amulet and fighting anyone on his way appeared again in his memory, and that human, Kaspars, was soon after a follower of Sathonys, joining the clergy and becoming Jezz's right hand.

... Will continue ...
