Misguidus

3D model of MIsguidus created through Hero Forge.

Misguidus is a Tiefling Rogue born in Yudenfros, 1478.

## Early Life

Misguidus was born on the 12th of November. His mother, after giving birth, disowned him and left him naked, wet and cold on the cobblestones of Yudenfros. Misguidus was a fast learner, even for a half-demon at his age, and he was able to learn how to walk in a short enough time so that he didn't die of hunger and thirst.

Misguidus ate whatever food he could get from the streets. He discovered that running up to humans, opening his mouth, and screaming was an easy method to get them to drop whatever food they had. This would lead to an alias from his early years "The Screeching Lemon" being given to him by timid humans.

One day when Misguidus was two years old, a partially blind old lady mistook his screaming for a child’s crying. The lady took him in and cleaned him, groomed him and fitted him out with clothes. Misguidus tried to escape multiple times in the first week of him living there but every time he did, the woman, whose name was Ms McFirgget, would find a way to get him back and into her care. For the first time ever, Misguidus had someone to care for him and this made him feel safe.

Unknown to Misguidus at the time, he has little to no ability to feel happiness. However, similar to snakes, he could still tell that this Ms McFirgget was there to feed and protect him and that is what made him stay.

## The Incident

Misguidus would often black out when running errands for Ms McFirgget, then wake up somewhere unfamiliar carrying a variety of items which he had not left Mrs McFirgget’s flat with. His adoptive mother would always be delighted with the items that Misguidus brought back on these occasions. These moments were the only times Misguidus ever felt happiness so he looked to figure out where he goes when he blacks out.

One time he managed to stay conscious and saw that his body, out of his control, was taking itself to alleys and empty streets where he would rob people, of all ages, for everything they own. With this new found revelation, he started to rob people more and more to feel something when he gave the things he stole to Ms McFirgget. He was addicted. He would do anything to feel happiness again and again.

By the time Misguidus was 15 he had robbed nigh on six hundred people without getting caught or seen by bystanders. However, this would all come to an end on the 13th of April 1498 when Misguidus, thinking he was being clever, sought out a optometrist to try to fix Ms McFirgget's eyes. Knowing how to obtain glasses by no other means, Misguidus held a knife to the optician's neck throughout the process of making custom glasses.

Giving the man 50 gold rings as a thank you (and as hush money), he ran home to give the glasses to Ms McFirgget but much to his surprise the old lady was scared when she put on the glasses, realising that the boy she had raised was not a human after all, mistaking Misguidus’ yellow-coloured skin for human skin when she was partially blind. Disappointed and furious she then realised that all the things he had bought her were not paid for like a civilized person. Unable to scream or move with her frail body and terrible condition, she had a heart attack. Misguidus, who still cared for the woman, called for help out the large window of the flat that was facing the street.

When a doctor revived Ms McFirgget, she accused Miguidus of causing her a heart attack. The doctor lunged at him and Misguidus blacked-out (similar to when he would run errands). Misguidus woke up to see Ms McFirgget maimed and nailed to a wall with his knife. His demonic ancestor Glasya entered the room and revealed herself to have been controlling Misguidus whenever he would 'black-out'. To run from the Army of Yudenfros, he had to flee the city for Culfrissie.

## Late Teenage and Young Adult Years

After running away (1493), Misguidus would try to find a place to settle down. He travelled South, hoping to find the accepting arms of Culfrissie. However, rather than risking being seen by someone in the city that he had 'met' before, he chose to live in the Northern Meadows of Culfrissie, finding refuge in a abandoned farmhouse which he refurbished and renovated with his stolen money he had from Yudenfros.

As a source of income, Misguidus would often use his stealth at the annual Festival of the Dancing Flower to pickpocket the already rich land-owners, only rarely stealing from farmers as he knew what it was like to subsist off food you could find. He lived a very quiet life, only going into small towns to buy food and occasionally black out but now he knew how to control himself, as he didn't want to uproot his life again.

He started to look for other ways to make money like taking up small jobs and gigs running errands for rich people. Although he despised them, they throw away their money like it's worthless so he gets paid well. In 1500 AA he took his first trip into the city whilst running an errand and realised that it wasn't that bad. Resisting the urge to black out and rob was hard but he was convinced he could change. In 1504 AA he arrived at a pub in Culfrisse where he takes a job to deliver some salmon to a man at *Chanch’ka*, joining the Salmon Bank.
