**History**

**Young Life**

As a young lad, Rygon grew up in North West Grezmadon, in the kingdom of Shivolster. He aspired to be a noble knight and live up to his mother and father, who are the Duchess and Duke of the kingdom. he was hoping to inherit a small patch of land near the kingdom and maybe have a small army under his command to keep his home safe. Growing up, Rygon always had a fear of disappointing his parents and older brother, who would outshine him at almost everything they did. He was never jealous of his brother but felt ashamed he wasn't living up to the family name like his sibling seemed to be.

Rygon was also petrified of spiders, he never knew why and just always found them creepy. Bugs also make him very uncomfortable, but spiders will make Rygon freeze, turn a ghostly white or even faint.

**Paladin Training**

Rygon chose to become a paladin because he believed in good and righteousness. He wanted to show his parents through tough training and determination, that he was as good and skilled as his brother. He would constantly lose when sparring and it got him frustrated; This only further drove his devotion to being a paladin.

One night, practicing magic and casting the spell "Detect good and evil" Rygon saw a red light glowing from his brother's room. he tried to convince his parents of what he saw, they were upset and furious with what he had to say and warned him to never bring it up again. The next night, he cast the spell to again to determine if what he saw was real. More red glowing light shone from his brother's room, he was convinced. He spoke with his parents again, and they were so disappointed and upset that they banished Rygon. They needed to keep the family reputation pure, so any rumour of the heir being evil would ruin everything. Faking his own death, Rygon could not bear to live with the shame and ran away hoping to form a new life.

To help him he asked for the help of his childhood best friend, Shanial Ghoaphin, a halfling male. After the help, Rygon swore to never see Shanial again to cut out his past and form a new identity. Now he is searching for lifelong friends who he can trust and form strong bonds with. He also decided he wanted a changed name, he changed from Mintelle (My-n-tel-ae) to Rygon. This took him some days to figure out, he believed this was going to be his true identity for the rest of his life.
