Jeff Icebrother

Izz'tel Urra is half dark elf. His mom, a human named Isabel, wife to Jacob, was raped by plundering dark elfs and became pregnant, even though she supposedly was infertile. She later gave birth to Izz'tel Urra, originally naming him Jonah.

Isabel and Jacob were both humans with big hearts, and they decided to keep and take care of Jonah, disregarding what he really was. They were hard working farmers living secluded outside a little local village. Here Jonah grew up helping doing hard work from early morning to late night, while his parents kept him safe and away from most people.

Jonah wasn’t the strongest individual, but what he lacked in strength, he made up for in endurance.

One day while working late, the plundering dark elfs returned.  Jacob was killed in front of Jonah, while Jonah was taken captive. The rest of the village and farm where Jonah grew up was burned to the ground. Jonah first discovered this years later though. He was brought back to the underdark, where he was turned into a slave and named Izz'tel Urra by the dark elves.

While working in the underdark one day, Izz'tel noticed a flickering shadow near him, and he heard a whispering voice: "I can help you. Come closer.."

Izz'tel stepped into the flickering shadow, and was suddenly somewhere else, though still in a cold, grey and dark place. Before him stood an enormous shadow of a female dragon, talking to him. The dragon introduced herself as “Lilith” and said:

"I can help you escape, if you can help me escape."

Though Izz'tel was confused, he quickly accepted the offer. The shadow then cut it's palm with a claw and smeared a drop of blood in Izz'tels eyes. After that, Izz'tel passed out.

When Izz'tel woke up, it was with sunlight in his face, once again on the outside, but with blood on his hands and clothes. During the following year, Izz'tel would almost every night have dreams of this shadow dragon, talking to him, learning him various things. During that time, he learned, that the shadow dragon originally was an ancient dragon from the material plane, lured and trapped by evil people to a plane called Shadowfell. Now corrupted by darkness and shadows, the dragon told Izz'tel, that she would only be able to escape Shadowfell, to be free of it's corruption and get back to her former glory, if Izz'tel could help free her.

During the first year of freedom, Izz'tel evolved different abilities, which would help him stay clear of and protect himself from the dark elves, who he was sure was hunting him. Izz'tel began disguising himself with magic, looking like a human and going by the name Jeff. He even started acting as opposite of his elven heritage as he could, wearing shiny armor and wielding large heavy weapons.

One day Jeff stumbled upon a band of mercenaries called The Brotherhood of Ice. They were fighting a losing battle when Izz'tel joined and changed the outcome. After that he was offered to join their band, which he accepted.

Izz'tel has now journeyed with the Brotherhood of Ice for a couple of years, making money to live for. After a while, Izz’tel revealed his true nature to the band, which didn’t really care about his race or past. Izz'tel haven't heard anything from the shadow dragon for a while now. The last he heard and learned from the dragon was that to free her, he would need to collect some ancient artifacts throughout the world, and that he should seek to gain powerful allies he could trust along the way.
