The Beltune Twins in Roshona before the campaign.

Keldrym was born and raised by his mother and father in Roshona. Their mother is the Umavi of Den Beltune and their father is a Lens Agent. They were their first children. The twins were kept quite sheltered as children and rarely went outdoors. During this time he became a rambunctious child who would always try to bother their mother and have fun in there house. This lead to numerous questionable activities.

Currently, he is finally back in Roshona after having to be away for a few months. He is excited to be back but also nervous about all the new things he learned about his country while he was away. He has started to question his role in the Lens and the truth behind what happened to them.

## Biography

### Background

Keldrym was born in Roshona into Den Beltune. He was raised alongside his identical twin Kaulmyn Beltune in the Den's main house in the The Firmaments. The twins were kept inside most of their childhood, only being able to stay on the property of the mansion that they lived in. Since a young age Keldrym had wanted to be a Lens Agent due to his father. This caused him and his brother to play pretend a at home in the role of spies.

### Aurora Watch

During Aurora Watch training, Keldrym met Ilianaro Hythenos and befriended him. Immediately bringing him home and introducing him to his brother. During his training he was allowed out of the house and trained quite frequently. He typically overworked himself wanting to get better. During this time he really started to bond with Verin Thelyss who helped him improve. He had time to himself and grew as a person. This is the time in his life he would claim he was his happiest. Ilianaro was still alive, he met Sennim Omrifar, and he bonded with his brother.

### The Lens

The twins went through Aurora Watch training as soon as he could with his brother. After they completed that training they were inducted into Lens training by the previous Shadowhand Xuton Mirimm. The training was brutal. Keldrym recalls a time where they would put them both in a room and try to interrogate one of the twins while using the other one as leverage. Making them think they would hurt the other if they didn't give them the information they wanted.

Towards the middle of their training they were practicing in high tense situations. During this time they were questioning if Ilianaro's death was truly and accident. Keldrym was dueling another drow when he was impaled. Kaulmyn's spell exploded from the distress of seeing his brother being impaled and both of them were hospitalized for weeks. Setting back their training.

After they completed Lens training they were sent on various missions under the command of Xuton Mirimm. After some time in the lens the Shadowhand position was transferred over to Essek Thelyss, who they currently work under. They do not currently know where Xuton Mirimm is.

### Imprisionment

When Keldrym was held in the prision in Rexxentrum he was used for experiments under the eye of Trent Ikithon. They embedded obsidian in his arm to see how it would react with his natural dunamancy powers. After being in the prision for awhile, The Red Thread broke him out at the request of Kaulmyn Beltune and Sarven Cauchemar.

### The Red Thread

After the Red Thread broke him out of the prison, he joined up with them as he had to stay out of sight of the Dynasty. They ran away to the Menagerie Coast where they met Acis Ariti a divine soul sorcerer. He was shaken and the party stayed there for the night, being cautious of the twins. Soon after, they were lead on the trail of a murder of Jeno.

While they were on the coast, Keldrym met his friend, Buddy his pet hermit crab. Buddy was a gift from Agatha who wanted to cheer him up. It is a magical hermit crab that can survive long periods without saltwater.

They travelled to Port Damali where they stopped an attack at the shipyard. During the attack from the monster, Keldrym saw a figure and chased after it. The figure later was revealed to be Beckett Phobos. He took the obsidian that was embedded in his arm, out. He survived the attack barely. During his time in Port Damali he met Krirqa Lilas, or better knows as Rose. He also met up with Mooncypher Ilmari Thelyss who he asked to go leave flowers on Ilianaro Hythenos's grave.

They followed the trail of The Black Diamonds. They met Alaqa who took them to the island of Azem. They met up with Zhuthra Merellath. They made it back to Rexxentrum where they eventually fought The Black Diamonds. After the fight, Agatha Weber told Keldrym that she was leaving the party for the time being and gave him her crossbow and bolts. They went back to the hometown of Agatha Weber and got a mission from a wizard to go hunt down a creature called The False Vision. During this mission Kaulmyn got picked up to go back to the Dynasty. Shortly thereafter they fought and killed the monster. They then went back to Nogvurot and said goodbye to Agatha Weber and Arabella Altalune and headed towards the Dynasty.

## Relationships

### Verin Thelyss

Verin has been there for the twins since the beginning. He helped them attain the skills they have today. When they were in the Aurora Watch they would consistently go out for drinks and other fun in each others company. They were close when they were younger but drifted apart after the twins went through lens training. Neither of them really made any attempt to reach out during this time. When Verin heard Keldrym was in danger he instantly offered to take leave to help him. Ever since then they have rekindled their relationship.

### Essek Thelyss

Essek and Keldrym never were really close. They talked to each other and were around each other but they never really considered each other a friend. Keldrym knew he could rely on Essek when he was younger and that trust was always subconsciously there. He doens't enjoy it when Kaulmyn and Essek argue in front of him.

### Sennim Omrifar

Sennim and Keldrym became close friends when Keldrym was in the watch. They met at a ball and both were extremely bored with the activities but were expected to be there. That lead to them having fun together and connecting. After that first time, Keldrym would invite him to come hang out with his brother and Ilianaro. He would always accept. This caused the group to grow closer. Eventually, Sennim would invite Keldrym to help out in his martial arts classes despite him knowing barely anything about it.

### Ilianaro Hythenos

Ilianaro met Keldrym when he was picked up, literally, by him where they were both training for the watch. They connected through their loneliness and Keldrym brought him back to the Beltune estate where he was introduced to Kaulmyn. Ilianaro and Keldrym were always close even after Kaulmyn and Ilianaro started dating. Ilianaro was always sweet to Keldrym and tried to get him to take care of himself.

### Krirqa Lilas

Krirqa, or Rose, met the twins in Port Damali where he befriended them and helped them around the city. They especially bonded over their love for cats and other animals.
