## Biography

#### **Life before Gamut**

There is no greater curse for all the elven-kind than to be born a drow; to be born in a darkness of the world that is post-Alessyan Daxia. After the Vanquishment, high elves became real rarity.

Less than a hundred of *Great Families* survived the Cataclysm, even less the Gifted Ones, elves that were blessed by the secret of the Six. But the Alessyan survivors were cursed by a strange disease; their once pale flesh turned obsidian black, their hair became faded gray or fang yellow. They developed a sensitivity to the sunlight that forced them to seek shelter in the subterranean depths of collapsed Empire.

The courageous (and lucky) ones that managed to escape the hellscape that become Alessya, and reach the northern provinces of the Empire, were universaly reviled. For the outsider their dark skin was taken as a sign of abandonment by both the Novelist herself and The Undying.

Soon, raiding parties were dispatched from Demvir with sole purpose of exterminating the survivors. On the sea, Alessyan ships were sunk and set ablaze. Only few of them was spared, and Folen was one of them.

When citizens of Zerathel tried to sacrifice him to the flames, Shebbuk, the young officer of notorious Gamut asociation dispresed the crowd with help of his men. Right there and then, the debt was forged that could never been repaid. Folen joined the Gamut, and quickly rose through its ranks, specializing in stealth operations and "bait and switch" tactics due to his appearances. And so the prey become a hunter.

## Gamut's Fall

After the long time serving for Gamut, Folen has learned many skills and tricks, mainly in assassination. He was serving his last contract in Kaluga, in Gamut's headquaters in Imravog. After the death of *Captain Valentin Tersteg,* his guild mates and he decided to stop evil from spreading in Zenevar. They discovered that secret cult is trying to summon Lilith, a demon princess, near Imravog, and tried to stop that. The thing was much bigger and much worse that everyone could think of, so Folen and a group decided to pursue cultists and figure out their final plan. After discovering that the final ritual will be in Brennen, the band decided to stop that from happening. Just a couple days before the ritual, Folen decided to take *Books of Gamut,* ones they have managed to save from fire, a leave the group. Reason for that was the contract that other party members agreed on with Rheol The Deceiver, and Folen didn't wanna be part of that. He wanted to rise Gamut from the ashes, on his own. His current location is unknown.
