Galren Strigoi

Sophia (Daughter) †

## Biography

### Early Life

Galren was born in the year 153 AR, to lord Xandrei Stramos, and a peasant human woman, Danette, as part of a ritual to Lolth. Due to being a bastard, and due to his heretical birth, Galren was forbidden to leave the family manor by his father, who was physically and mentally abusive to Galren. Danette was the only person in his life to show Galren any kindness, but it would always be short-lived. On many occasions, Xandrei and Danette would leave unexpectedly for months on end, leaving Galren alone with the manor's servants, who would often avoid his presence.

By the time Galren had grown to be ten years of age, he had grown accustomed to his isolation. When his parents would leave, he would retreat to the manor's library, sometimes for the entire duration of his parent's absence, eating only scraps from the kitchen, as the house's staff had taken to spitting into his food. Galren would always dread his father's return, as the abuse had gradually gotten worse through the years, and Danette's kindness turned to cold hatred as the abuse spread to her as well.

Xandrei and Danette's excursions would grow to be longer and longer, and each time they returned, Danette would look more and more drained. Over time, she lost the ability to walk, and by the time Galren had turned eighteen, she did not return at all with Xandrei. Instead, Xandrei returned to the manor with only a mask made of obsidian.

After Danette's disappearance, Xandrei no longer left the manor, and spent most of his time in his chambers with the mask. Galren would often hear frantic whispering coming from his father's room, and his father grew increasingly more abusive over the months.
