### Morbosa House Backstory

Griffin was born into a family of Nobles known as the Morbosa household. The Morbosa House is not very well known seeing as all records of them have been forgotten in the ever-growing world of Rathnir. But when they were known, they were remembered for one notable reason. Their distinct genetic trait. Ever since the creation of the Morbosa House, there has been a critical error in their genetic code. Whilst we don't know much of what it is or why it has developed, we have some to the conclusion that it is a genetic disease/disorder prone only to those of their descendance. This disease is known as Korrukt. With it's effects, the Morbosa family had barely survived with but 1 child at any given time. Any others would die to the illness whilst the eldest would live with the armour that protects them attached from birth. Unfortunately, since there is only one set of the armour in existence. The parent wearing the armour must pass it on to the child and let Korrukt take them whilst their child lives on. This is the flaw of the Morbosa Dynasty that has kept them and their influence in a forever-dwindling state.

### Korrukt

Korrukt is a "hereditary genetic disorder/disease" (or so it has been called.) that has been shown strictly in the descendants of the Morbosa Dynasty. From what we know so far, Korrukt is a disorder that is looked down upon by all due to it's hideous symptoms. Korrukt manifests from birth and grows without hesitation over time. The symptoms include slow corruption and rotting of the body (and extremely rarely, the mind) from the top-down. Resulting in some of the most hideous creations, with withered, abyss black appendage. So far, there is only one way to halt the disease from growing more severe. The Morbosan Family Heirloom, The armour of Vitram. Without the armour, it only takes 16 years to kill a child of Morbosan heritage. That is if they do not wish to end their suffering sooner.

#### The Armour of Vitram

The Armour of Vitram is a full silver plate knight's armour set with a pronounced purple crystal embedded into the centre of the breastplate, along with gold trims along the shoulders and knees. The Armour was forged by Vitram Morbosa. The first Morbosan and the firt to have been afflicted with Korrukt. It was made with the sole purpose of protecting the future generations of Morbosa house's heirs from the illness that afflicts their dynasty. Although, only one set of the armour was ever made due to Vitram dying along with the 'secret truth' of Korrkut before another was made.

With the Armour of Vitram, the wearer's body can become immune to the effects of Korrukt for as long as the armour is in contact with the body part in which the wearer wants to be immune. Meaning if you wore the full set of armour from birth, you would be immune from the effects for as long as you wear it. Although, only one set of the armour was ever made. The armour also has the effect of conveniently morphing to the fit the size of the wearer. Apart from that, not much is known about the armour. Except that it's current wearer is Griffin Morbasa, and it's the only thing keeping the Morbosa family's dynasty and legacy alive. As well as the source that brought their family's downfall.

### Griffin Morbosa's Life

#### Childhood

Griffin Morbosa was born into the Noble House of Morbosa around ninteen years ago to date. He was born as the second son of Markus Morbosa. (His Father). His older brother (Oscar Morbosa) was born two years before and was the eldest son and heir to the Morbosa House. As is tradition, He was granted The Armour Of Vitram from his Father and with it, he kept away Korrukt so he could be raised as the next head of the Household. Although, due to this tradition.

Griffin was ignored and cast aside due to his older brother having all the attention as the next heir to the Hous. He was also the subject of frequent abuse by the rest of his family thanks to his position, it went so far that the very staff of the House started to neglect him too. To him, he was the only person in the world that understood the pain of being a child born to die. Although, Oscar cared for Griffin dearly and saw his innevitable death as his own fault and so did everything he could to make Griffin happy whilst he was still going to live. Thanks to this, Griffin's life wasn't so bad even with the sad reality of his situation. Although, that was short lived.

##### The voice

At the age of 5 years old, Korrukt had almost completely withered the whole of the top of his head. He would cover his head in bandages and wear a hat whenever he could to save others from witnessing the horror that the child had become. With these changes to his appearance, an unexpected anomoly had arisen. Every night, he would hear whispers and a voice in his head. It started with gentle yet sinister whispers caressing his mind with malicious intent. But gradually, as the voice grew louder. He began to ever so slightly make out what they were saying. Until one fateful night, he was able coverse with the voice.

As he crawled into bed and laid snug under his covers that night, the voice started to talk. At this point he was used to the voice's consistent nighly mumbling. But to his shock. He was able to make out what it was saying. "Why is it that you cling onto the sad and pitiful life that you live and not end it now child?" The voice asked. To which an unpleasantly shocked Griffin lay stiff in his bed, scared to move a muscle. The voice continued "Let me ask again, why is it you you live on when all you experience is pain?" A terrified but angry Griffin replied with a stern tone, "No matter how pitiful or sad my life is, I wish to see it to the end." Upon ending this sentence the voice chuckled excitedly and spoke with an eerie tone. "I'll visit you when the time is right, my child" And left Griffin paralyzed stiff under his covers. He didn't get a wink of sleep that night, and was shaken to the core for the whole of the next day. The words it spoke could not escape his mind. "sad and pitiful life" He whispered as he looked at himself in the mirror, realising the meaning behind those words upon locking his sight with his withered forehead.

The following years continued slow at first for the first month, but felt like it moved in a flash after that first month. This may be due to Griffin obsessing over the voice and what it had said that one night. It was the only thing on his mind for what felt like forever. And, had made the maids and servants believe he had fallen to madness as he wandered the halls at night expecting the voice to speak to him again. He heard nothing. He waited for so long every night that he himself thought he was going mad. In the end, he dismissed the voice as him losing his sanity.
