Affaraxis Cassius

Affaraxis Cassius is one of the original members of the Heroes of Frosthaven, along with Lugaru, Tychon, Mindaugas Val Hallas and Korrin Morghul. She has been reunited with her Master and her whereabouts are currently unknown.
== Early Life ==
Affaraxis was born into the noble Cassius Family to Atrion and Melana Cassius in the city of Daethos in Hysperia. Affaraxis lived a sheltered life, her family was quite wealthy and so she wanted for nothing. She often used to torment her younger brother Alenon, for he was a sensitive child and easily brought to tears. As the two grew older, her teasing ceased and the two became quite close.
Affaraxis was always an odd child, prone to eccentricities. She was always interested in the arcane, much to the confusion of her parents. In Hysperian culture, it was unseemly for noble girls to be interested in such arts. Her parents often tried to stifle her curiosity in magic, but this just made her want it more. While the other high born girls were attending balls and social events, Affaraxis would be pouring over ancient scrolls, trying to learn the ways of magic. 
== Mage Apprenticeship ==
When Affaraxis was 19, a mysterious man from the far off land of Arland arrived in Daethos. Affaraxis was drawn to this man and needed to find out more about him. She followed and stalked him for some time, unable to explain why she felt so interested in him. Eventually the man noticed her and introduced himself as Alistair Blackwood. Alistair revealed himself as a powerful mage and told Affaraxis that the strange attraction she felt was a kind of arcane link that drew them together. He told her that such links can be very powerful and offered to teach her the ways of magic. Affaraxis was ecstatic and agreed straight away.
Affaraxis' parents were not happy about her new apprenticeship with a strange man from the west, but they could not sway her. Alistair spent the next few months training Affaraxis in the ways of magic, until he suddenly disappeared. Affaraxis was devastated. Almost immediately, Affaraxis left Daethos without notice, looking for her master. 
She travelled west to Arland, hoping to find some trace of Alistair. It was during this journey in Arland that she met Mindauas and Korrin and became a member of the Heroes of Frosthaven.
