== Biography ==
Ari Barog was born around 208 AD, in the town of Squall's End in the Country of Isling. Her mother was a vampire and her father was a human, and their love had been forbidden by both of their communities. Despite the danger, they had fallen in love, and Ari was the product of their union. Growing up, Ari had never felt like she fit in. Her mother had been forced to flee from her vampire clan when they discovered she was pregnant with a human's child, and Ari had been raised in secrecy by her father and his family. She had always felt like an outsider, never fully accepted by either the humans or the vampires.
But Ari's life took a dark turn when a group of heretics arrived in her village. They despised both humans and vampires, and their mission was to wipe out any half-breeds that they came across. They attacked Ari's village with merciless brutality, killing anyone who stood in their way. Ari was forced to flee for her life, watching as her home was destroyed and her family and friends were slaughtered. She knew that she could never return to her old life, and so she fled. For several days, she kept running as far as her legs can take her. She later stopped at the town of Drement
Drement was a bustling town, far from the danger of the heretics. Ari tried to start a new life there as an innkeeper, but she found it difficult to forget the horrors she had witnessed. As the years pass on by, she was met by a woman named Skye Hart who talked about Ari's past and asked if she'd be willing to have protection. The only way to get it was by joining the Empire's ranks. Without a second though she became a spy for the Heretic Empire, using her unique abilities as a half-human, half-vampire hybrid to gather information and report back to her superiors.
At first, Ari found it easy to justify her actions. She believed that she was working to protect her own kind from the heretics. But as time went on, she began to question her own loyalties. She saw the destruction that the Empire was causing, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was on the wrong side. Her trauma kept on coming back at convienient times whenever she had doubts, keeping her to believe that the actions the Empire is doing is the right course of action to cleanse the world of hatred.
