Ghasan

Background:
Ghasan was born in Wilston, his parents being crew on one of the pirate vessels that operated out of that cesspit of a city. Unfortunately both parents were lost at sea, cause unknown, leaving Ghasan an orphan surviving only through the goodwill of some extended family members. Foul tempered and always ready for a fight, Ghasan gravitated towards one of the street gangs and during his time there attracted the attention of the senior leadership who sponsored his arcane and assassin training. Soon Ghasan was a well established gang enforcer, although his temper did occasionally lead him to excessive violence. One such episode saw him go too far, and ended up causing a turf war with another street gang. A price was put on Ghasans head and the early outcome of this was a number of his extended family being tortured and killed – suspected of harbouring him.
Ghasan sought refuge in the Sarn temple, and despite being an atheist at the time was welcomed in. His desire for revenge made him an ideal convert, but the local priesthood also saw that his temperament made him unreliable. Over the next few years Ghasan was forced to confront his own temper, to learn how to control it and focus it. By the time he was allowed back on the streets he had become a totally different person, outwardly at least. His vengeance was calculated and effective, both of the street gangs involved in his families death were wiped out over a few days. Within the temple, Ghasan gained the nickname of “Coldkiller”. The next few years saw Ghasan rise within the temple hierarchy as a troubleshooter, or occasionally troublemaker as required. Soon his duties took him outside of Wilston and Ghasan travelled much of the island.
About 10 years later, Ghasan took an apprentice priest under his wing, a human named Thirson – who had similar temper issues as Ghasan had faced. The pair of them made a very effective team over a number of years. Whilst on a mission to Far Haven, they met Saratak, who gave them both a prophect, unfortunately this happened at the same time as the Temple of Garm betrayed the pirates of Willston to the Elves. This led to Thirson leaving the partnership to head back and seek his revenge whilst Ghasan had another path to follow – in Vendor.
Ghasans Prophecy
The lost wanderers await you
Though they will not welcome you
Your friend will abandon you
Though never desert you
The forge will intrigue and entice you
Eventually will reveal much to you
The gifts it gives you
Are not meant for you
The chains of temper upon you
Their need will disappear when the winged one appears to you
Knowledge will come to you
Even as an old evil becomes aware of you
Death must appear to you
For your destiny to open to you
