Krest

= Summary =
Krest was once a leading figure in the Refuge, and is often considered a main character in the roleplay (Despite Azcatriz' best efforts). He has travelled through most of Gran-Nest, serving as a freelance mercenary for whoever could pay him enough Geo. Now he resides in his old home of Hallownest, where he aided the Refuge in their war against the Husks, took down the Pale Duke, and ascended to Lord of Shades. He is now retired and spends most of his time with his family.

=== The Abyss ===
Born in the Abyss, he quickly gained his first traumatic experience when he witnessed his sibling from the same egg be thrown to the depths below by a group of vessels, competing to ascend to the top where the Pale King's light shined bright. He proceeded to get brutally bullied by the group, kicking him down, completely and utterly helpless. When he woke up from unconsciousness, he was greeted by the many corpses of his assailants, and tiny fragments of mask shards embedded into his hands. Unable to scream for help, he uselessly cried out his pain and loss to the vast emptiness of his familial mass grave, curled up on himself, unable to move out of sheer pain and grief.
He couldn't stay however, and for his lost sibling he continued his precarious climb up, where he saw the Pure Vessel and the Pale King in all his glory when they were already leaving; this is where he saw the elusive Ghost of Hallownest, clinging onto the platform for dear life just as he did. He didn't waste a moment, and in an act of selfishness, of which he would regret for the rest of his life, pulled himself up and ran through the still closing gates, leaving Ghost behind, who he presumed would fall to his death like his many other brethren.
=== The City of Tears ===
His early life can be described as insufferable. With not a single piece of Geo to his name, he was confined to the destitute areas within the east district of the City of Tears. He was honestly better off living at the poorer western side of the city, because the east side is where the nobility reside in all their glorious pompous presence. He was mistreated harshly with only a handful of geo he scrounged up from the streets, which is just barely enough for food. -

=== The Beginning ===
The founding members of The Refuge, he took on leadership with Lego the Butterfly. From there he helped the Refuge win many battles, which included ascending into Godhood, serving as a vessel for Umbra. It wasn't until the disastrous Massacre of the Crossroads, where he and his strike team was surrounded by the The Husk Forces with aid from the Troupe. There he let himself be captured in exchange for safe passage for his troops.
