Cassius Thorn

Selene Thorn - Mother

Finian Sorrell - Romantic Interest

Cassius Thorn is a drow that was raised in Dorinelle and eventually became part of the Alliance. The following origin story should be taken with a large grain of salt, as its unknown to the degree of its legitimacy. It is unclear if Cassius himself knows the truth about his past.

Cassius was born into a family of traveling merchants who had just settled down in a small town very close to the border with Fennharrow. Fennharrow then attacked his village, killing his entire family including his twin sister, Cresentia. Cassius made it out and began running. He ran until he couldn't anymore, and collapsed from exhaustion. Without the strength or willpower to go on, he let himself fade, sinking into Morana's song. Ferrah would then keep him alive and speak to him through a nearby puddle. She promises him a new life, and Cassius becomes a warlock. It is unknown what happens for the next several years, but eventually would become a royal guard. Here he would start getting romantically involved with Prince Finian Sorrell. He would then join the program after witnessing the death of an adept due to a mentor pushing them to hard. Nikita Mondelli then brainwashes the entire program to make everyone believe Cassius had been there all along. Petra is especially effected by this spell. At some point in his adventures Cassius meets an informant who he refers to as "S". He also meets Genevieve and Soifra.

Cassius is recognized by Rava, Archer (Unofficial), and Crow Lady (Unofficial) during an attack on the day of the Amsonia Alliance meeting.

## Cleansing of Taiytin

During the Cleansing of Taiytin, Cassius absorbs a glowing orb that gives him the following flashes: You're looking up at a large earth genasi, love in your heart, looking down, seeing a small child wisp between your legs, giggling. Then youre anxious, a feeling of dread taking over hour heart as you are listening to your friend’s growing troubles, knowing theres nothing to be done, everything already tried, though she thinks otherwise, always too kind for her own good. Then a pain strikes through your heart, to deep to imagine. You are screaming, sobbing, causing stroms violent to start the world over, as if that haddent already happened. You are pulling, grasping onto the arm of your only child as hes being pulled away from you, by the one you love most who’s equally desprate. Neither of you win. Beside you she, still golden despite it all, is stoic despite the red tears as she rips the world apart, universe cleaving scythe in one hand, still wet with the blood of earth, child tight in the other arm, screaming for her brother.
