New Dawn

Kitrick was born in a coastal town of Aezith to Hildinell, a farmer, and Diaphemia, a healer and herbalist. Being the fifth out of six children, Kit spent the majority of his childhood being watched by his older siblings.

His older brother, Polkin, left their home when Kitrick was six to travel with a troupe of entertainers. Espara continued studying to be a healer with their mother, and would often take Kit on walks to explain different plants around their home. Olby spent a fair amount of time studying their cultural history as well as the history of surrounding areas, usually accompanied by Melifus.

When Kitrick was seven, his parents found themselves unable to sufficiently care for their younger children. His youngest sister, only three at the time, was taken in by a Human couple who often traveled through Vastholm. Within a month, using an otherwise harmless potion that kept both of them asleep as they traveled, both Kitrick and Melifus were taken to the base of the nearby mountain range. Having woken them up to say goodbye, their father was equally as upset as his children, though their mother showed no outward reaction except to remind them to behave.

For the first year, Melifus and Kitrick were especially dependent on each other. Kitrick was often punished for attempting to sneak into the dorm to be with his sister. Melifus only tried to do the same once, and eventually lashed out at her brother for encouraging trouble. As her focus turned to the lessons given by the monks, she distanced herself from Kitrick and the mischief he was constantly causing within the monastery.

Kit became friends with a gnome in his sister's class, having caught the younger halfling loosing live animals into the abbot's office and covering for him. Wyndri was most of the reason Kitrick put any effort into his continued studies, promising him lessons in Gnomish if he focused.

## Order of the Dark Moon

When she was twelve, Melifus was chosen by the abbot to enter into specialized training. She had driven herself far beyond most of her peers in lessons, catching the attention and praise of her instructors. Melifus was part of the reason Kitrick was chosen two years later, having informed the monks that his simple expression was a trick and he was far more intelligent than he let on.

Having come from a casually religious family, Kitrick and Melifus were both more focused on the content of the lessons than the drive toward the church's goals. During her resistance training Shar spoke to Melifus, confirming her existence and giving the Hin a focus. The deity never reached out to Kit, who was convinced that what his sister heard was a hallucination brought on by training.

Aside from rare moments when Melifus would play chess with him, the siblings had a cold relationship. Melifus, having completed her own initiation into the Order, encouraged him to do the same so he "could be [her] brother again." Not long after, Wyndri died during his ritual to confirm himself as a cleric of Shar. Having lost the only two relationships he had been working for, he struggled to maintain his loyalty to the Order.

A year after Wyn's death, Kitrick was assigned his own target for initiation. His sister was assigned a target for her promotion to a Sharran cleric, and both were transported to the Crystal Gulf to carry out their orders. Kitrick spent several weeks following a priestess of the Moonmaiden, learning her routine as a healer and her name - Firuz. On a full moon night - "in full sight of Selûne" - he entered the temple, poisoning the only guard he was unable to sneak past and following Firuz to the altar room. Once there he was unable to justify an attack on the priestess, instead giving her the wooden amulet meant to confirm his initiation. With only an apology and a warning about his sister, Kitrick ran.

## New Dawn

Spending several years focused only on distancing himself from the monastery, Kitrick stumbled upon Grethe, a chatty Dwarf from whom he stole a fair amount of money. It turned into a partnership, helping one another steal resources and 'trading' the original money bag between the two of them. Guilted into a party due to a massively bungled theft, he followed the group to Frostshore.

In completing their mission (and finding his spider companion, Gnawdy), Kitrick found the idea of assignments almost comforting. He developed a grudging fondness for his party members, allowing himself to stay with them for the almost familial comfort they provided.
