## Bio:

Early life:

Francis Larch was born in the wastes of Faileim along with his sister Meribel. The two lost their parents at a young age and only had one another for most of their lives. They traveled together, doing odd jobs starting with simple things that children could do, eventually becoming skilled at scavenging dangerous ruins of the old world. Francis became skilled with pistols, subconsciously using magic to increase his accuracy.

### Sage of Gulavault:

Years passed and the two were found by the Sage of Golavault, Jedrek Feirarim who was investigating a strange ruin in Faileim. After helping him complete his mission ( which involved a mutated and enchanted plant monster) the sage desired to train them taking them away from the waste land and to the village of Torisal.

Here he would receive training to become the next Sage of Gulavault. He was chosen over his sister as the next apprentice, due to him having arcane magic rather then Xenos (Xenos was still viewed as too dangerous by the Council at the time) and was trained for many years.

One day during a misson, he met the demon Calridul, who promised the young man unspeakable power. Francis tried to resist the temptation but was eventually corrupted by the dark power.

### Corrupted:

Once corrupted he attacked his former mentor Jedrek, crippling him and killing his Guardian Mary Stilten. Had his sister not intervened, he would have slain the Sage and doomed all of Torisal. His sister fought bravely but was no match for Francis's new powers .She was barely able to escape with her mentor.

After they fled, Francis became fully indoctrinated by Calridul and his fell master, serving as their agent for years. He corrupted the pools of healing, leaving his imp servant Chezek in control, and drove a slumbering dragon mad to torment the people of Torisal.

In the year 1916 E.O.S he raided an ancient Aldean temple in the Dominion Home Galaxy. Here he found a portal to the realm of old Aldean priest, who offered a certain powerful Orb to the winner of a fighting competition. Believing for the Orb to be able to free his master, he entered the games, where he met his sister again.

Failing the tournament, he returned to Torisal were he began schemes of his own opposed by his sister and the new Guardian Eric Muldoon, whose family was killed by the dragon he drove mad years earlier. To combat him, he gathered a dark cabal of followers and corrupted the caves, drawing from their power.

He travelled to the Cave of Prophecy towards the end of the year, debating with the entity within. During his conversation with the being, he was interrupted by Eric who attempted to murder him in revenge for his family. His attempts failed however, as the entity teleported Eric away for drawing blood in it´s chamber, allowing Francis to escape and continue his plans.

In the year 2005 E.O.S he would be trapped during the War of Sparks Crisis, but survived. He attempted to gain control of the Elder Dragon´s undead army, but was stopped by his sister and Kelly Bluecold.

## Personality:

Before corruption he was a kind and witty young man, who almost always helped those in need.

After his corruption, he became obsessed with freeing his Elder Demon master. He also missed his sister and often attempted to convince her to join him, which she always refused. He is obsessed with his goals, and possesess a dark humor to him.
