Tovoran's origins are shrouded in mystery, for he was born beneath the waning glow of the aurora borealis, deep within the frigid expanse of the icy tundra. His mother, a reclusive wisewoman of enigmatic lineage, guarded the secret of his parentage. She alluded only to a union between the mortal realm and the spirit world as the source of his existence.
As a peculiar and solitary child, Tovoran found himself ostracized by the other youthful members of the Frostwolf clan. Only Elka, the chieftain's daughter, dared to extend her hand in friendship to him. They matured as outsiders, drawing comfort from the age-old tales passed down through the clan.
Tovoran's mystical talents began to manifest at an early age. By the age of fifteen winters, he had harnessed the power to conjure shimmering arcs of light from his very fingertips. His mother nurtured his burgeoning abilities in secrecy, offering a grim warning that he would be condemned as a witch if his gifts were exposed to the clan's scrutiny.
Tragedy befell Elka's family when raiders mercilessly slaughtered them, leaving her as the sole survivor. In the face of this devastation, Tovoran unleashed his untamed power to summon a spectral pack of vengeful wolves, serving as instruments of retribution. The clan, struck with terror at his unparalleled abilities, had no choice but to banish him, casting him out into the unforgiving tundra. Brokenhearted, Tovoran embarked on his exile, with only Elka as his steadfast companion.
Their journey led them southward until they reached the coastal city of Brynjeleir. Here, Tovoran discovered a community of kindred spirits who shared his mystical talents - the shadowy order of battle mages bound to the local Bloodsworn clan.
Tovoran's unrefined yet formidable power captured the attention of the mages, who extended an invitation for him to undergo rigorous training within their ranks. Despite the isolation and the absence of companionship, he persevered through their relentless tutelage, driven by his relentless determination to control his extraordinary abilities and discover his true purpose.
Now, at the age of thirty winters, Tovoran stands as an initiate mage, sworn to the service of the Bloodsworn chieftain. Draped in robes of deep red and donning the horned circlet once worn by his mother, his eyes radiate a quiet, ominous authority. His words are scarce, but his mere presence instills a potent blend of fear and reverence.
In his unguarded moments, the stoic facade that defines Tovoran's demeanor occasionally fractures, revealing a man haunted by his past and plagued by uncertainty about his future. Yet, he channels his pain and doubt into unwavering loyalty to the Bloodsworn cause, harboring a flicker of hope that his devotion may one day fill the aching void that resides within him.
