## Background

Born and raised on the isle of **Vimata**, Kallias was inducted into the cult known as **the Bonds of Olakkos** from their first moment, and as such, never questioned the stories their family told, nor the morals they held. Additionally, Kallias spent the first portion of their life identifying as a male Eladrin, neither of which held true for very long.

During their first ninety mortal years on Vimata, Kallias was trained a hunter for the Bonds, and would often venture out into the wilds of **Fidisilass** with their hunting-mate and dearest companion, **Eris**, daughter of the Bond's Elder, **Auxentios**. The pair survived many a perilous venture stalking saurian prey together. Eventually, Kallias' family initiated them as a full member of the Bonds in the traditional fashion: charming an outsider who had washed ashore on Vimata, before leading them to **Olakkos**, to cast them into the temple's namesake pit, feeding their essence to **the Great Serpent**, slumbering below. Kallias did not enjoy it, but once more, they did not question it.

As a mercy, Kallias slit their sacrifice's throat before casting them into the dark, To this day, Kallias cannot remember their sacrifice's name.

## Transformation

After about 100 mortal years, Kallias awoke one morning to find their hair falling out, first in strands, then in clumps, then all at once, the bare skin underneath now dry, patchy, and tinged with a sickly yellowed hue. Over the course of another week or two, in feverish agony, Kallias went through a full metamorphosis: sunlight yellow slitted eyes, skin fully scaled, and where their hair once was, a nest of live, fledgling serpents. They hissed at Kallias, and to their own surprise, Kallias found it comforting.

This transformation heralded more change than simply the physical. This sparked Kallias' latent magical spark (or perhaps it gave them one...), and in this new body, they found they had the ability to channel spellcraft, hectic and uncontrollable though it might have been. It also marked the moment that Kallias no longer felt like masculine pronouns applied to them, simply because they didn't necessarily feel like a single individual anymore, but part of something larger.

The Bonds of OIakkos accepted Kallias' new form, for a time. Elder Auxentios said it was a sign from the Great Serpent, their new powers a blessing from the Pit-God.

## Exile from Olakkos

Not long after the Pride-Curse set in, Kallias and Eris ventured out on their grandest hunt yet. They were determined to slay **Ashtooth**, the albino Tyrannosaurus who had plagued the Bonds for years, as its territory bordered on the central temple itself.

However it was Eris and Kallias who were prey here, not Ashtooth, as the saurian ambushed them on the temple grounds themselves. In a blur of fear, adrenaline, and unfamiliar surging power, Kallias acted on instinct in attempt to save the person most important to them. But when the magic settled, Kallias opened their eyes to see Ashtooth skulk back into the treeline to tend its wounds, and Eris, in front of them, completely petrified.

Distraught and horrified at themselves, Kallias ran into the jungle, the weight of having to tell his people what had become of their Elder-to-be forcing them into exile. It was in attempting to find a boat and escape Fidisilass entirely that Kallias stumbled upon a captured **Cora Thornton**, and their journey with the soon-to-be **Nightmare Krew** began.
