## Biography

### Origin

Born into a common family of non-mages, young Ethan Nathaniel Khor desired to become a practitioner of sorcery, drawing inspiration from the Alliance Generals of the Second Mileage War. He and his sister, Ethan Natalia Khor (who is less famously - known) devoured numerous volumes on the art of preparación at the young age of 5, but eventually came to discover that his genetics and body was restricting him from achieving greater power.

### E.N.K. Serum

Ethan Nathaniel Khor started taking an interest in genetic engineering at the age of 7, an idea that was popularised by the non-mage scientist community. He constructed a laboratory in his family home Khor Kottage, testing a combination of known chemicals and experimental serums, in hope of concocting a serum that would allow non-mages to channel mage powers. He tested his first serum on his pet bunny, but it turned out to be a failure, as the bunny started flying vertically upwards through the roof of his house. Ethan’s second serum was administered to a raccoon he captured, which resulted in the raccoon also flying vertically upward. This time, however, the raccoon hung suspended in midair and began writhing in a seizure-like motion. Satisfied with this result, Ethan deemed the serum safe and administered it to himself, becoming the third subject of the E.N.K. serum.

Strangely, as predicted in Ethan’s calculations, the serum took its desired effect, granting him the ability to perform spells and charms that he was formerly incapable of. Ethan, now Specimen E.N.K., commenced his training immediately. E.N.K.’s powers grew over time, and as he toppled formidable figures such as the Kylerian, so did his reputation.

Word of Ethan's newfound powers spread like wildfire throughout the non-mage and mage communities alike. The secrecy of his experiments and the implications of his success sparked both intrigue and concern. Some celebrated him as a visionary pioneer, while others feared the potential consequences of tampering with genetics and magic.

E.N.K. decided to use his abilities for the greater good, vowing to protect the world from any magical threats that may arise. With each passing day, his mastery over his powers grew, and he began to train other non-mages who sought to gain similar abilities. He established the "E.N.K. Academy of Arcane Arts" where he nurtured and mentored individuals who were willing to embrace both science and magic.

As the academy thrived, it caught the attention of the mage community, leading to an unexpected alliance between them and the non-mage scientists. They realized that the fusion of knowledge from both worlds could lead to groundbreaking discoveries and could further strengthen their united efforts in safeguarding the realm from dark forces.

However, not everyone was pleased with E.N.K.'s achievements. A group of rogue mages, known as the "Cabal of Cinders," saw his rise as a threat to their supremacy. They believed that magic should be reserved solely for those born with the gift, and they vowed to put an end to E.N.K. and his academy.

In a series of epic battles, the Cabal of Cinders tried to sabotage the academy and eliminate E.N.K., but they underestimated the power and determination of those who had been empowered by the E.N.K. serum. The conflict intensified, turning into a war between the old ways and the new possibilities that E.N.K.'s breakthrough represented.

Amidst the chaos, E.N.K. never lost sight of his original goal: to bring harmony and understanding between the mage and non-mage communities. Despite the challenges he faced, he continued to strive for coexistence and cooperation.

As the years passed, E.N.K. became a legendary figure, admired and respected by both mages and non-mages alike. His efforts led to groundbreaking advancements in magic and science, revolutionizing the world in ways no one could have predicted.

And so, the tale of Ethan Nathaniel Khor, the boy who dared to bridge the gap between two worlds, continued to inspire generations to come, proving that sometimes, the most extraordinary accomplishments are achieved when one dares to dream beyond the boundaries of convention and tradition.
