## Biography

In Year 15, Rye Triste-Gris was abducted by his biological father, Seth, and taken to the Greater Wolfpack of Nocturne. There, Seth separated Rye's physical half from his spiritual half, casting the latter to the cosmic firmament. As for the physical half, it was transmuted into the Deathwish Soul. Seth kept the Soul in his grasp for the next fourteen years, while Rye was tragically reported dead in the Lesser Wolfpack of Silent, to the dismay of his mother Barley.

When the second Silent Titling ceremony took place in Year 29, Barley's second son, Kamots, was chosen to bear Silent's Amulet, the artifact of Physics. Seth's spiritual half, which observed Verenigde from the cosmic firmament, broadcasted a hypnotic wave to stun Kamots moments after the ceremony, causing him to unconsciously float down a river to the den where Silent's Amulet was held. Using the power of Death magic, the physical half of Seth revived Kamots, who was barely alive, and demanded he hand over the Amulet as payment for being healed. Kamots refused the offer, instead taking the Amulet and killing Seth, unaware that half of him still existed in spirit. Before Seth perished, he summoned the Deathwish Soul to infiltrate the Amulet, causing Kamots to learn of Rye's untimely fate.

Returning to the Silent camp at nightfall, a Blood Moon emerged from the clouds, triggering the Deathwish Soul and forcibly transforming Kamots into Deathwish. The Silent demi-wolves were quickly slaughtered, as were many ecclesionyx and demi-owls who attempted to seize Kamots. Once the Blood Moon ended, knights from Ecclesion were eventually able to detain Kamots and bring him to their queen, Cypress. Fearing that killing Kamots would no longer guarantee another heir to the Amulet, since all the other Silent demi-wolves were dead, she chose to spare his life, but limited his mobility rights for the safety of everyone on Verenigde. Cypress then used her artifact of Luna to create a moonlight barrier around Kamtos's sanctuary on Sydan, ensuring Deathwish would be contained during the next Blood Moon.

During the Elementals' first meeting on Sydan one week later, they entered their respective sanctuaries to unite their spirits with Sydan, and by extension, all of Verenidge. However, Kamots unknowingly exposed the Deathwish Soul to Sydan, wherein it transmitted Death magic energy to weaken Cypress's moonlight barrier. Six months after this event, a new Blood Moon appeared in the sky, and Seth's spirit half channeled a bolt of lightning unto Sydan. The force was powerful enough to destroy the barrier, allowing Deathwish to escape and murder Terra, the Elemental of Earth. Terra's murder resulted in the annihilation of Eco, marking Verenigde's first geological trauma. The other Elementals fought back against Deathwish, with Blue using his bardiche to slice the Deathwish Soul off of Kamots's neck. This caused Rye's spirit to exit Kamots's artifact, so he quickly triggered a planeshift, becoming whole on the cosmic firmament to relieve Kamots of his corruption.

39 years later, the Overseer Maize gave Kamots a chance to rewrite his history by sending him back in time. Arriving in Year 29, Kamots and his younger self, nicknamed Heart, spent three days venturing to Nocturne to confront the spirit half of Seth at the universe's edge. Heart voluntarily transformed into Deathwish, and by honing his powers, the two Kamotses were able to banish Seth to an entirely different universe. His death allowed Rye's physical and spiritual halves to reunite on the Vichnist plane, finally putting Deathwish to rest.

## Trivia

* Deathwish was created by magic\_windsock after the creator of Terra moved away in 2014, thereby giving a reason for his absence.
