## History

Wesley was born to a middle class family in the lush parts of upper Atraca. His father was a carpenter, and his mother was a baker. Growing up, he developed an interest in art, more specifically Impressionistic art. You could never find Wesley without a paint brush in his hand or a palette smug on his cheek. When he got older, his parents sent him to an Art University in Braumwich to further perfect his craft.

During his University Years, he developed an interest in weaponry due to the many guards he'd usually converse with as he goes about the halls. Particularly in revolvers and rifles. He decided to purchase one for if he ever find himself in a situation where one would be needed *(though in the back of his mind, he figured it had been a waste of his money.*) However, the events that would unfold later on made him happy that he did.

### The Night of Horror

After graduating from the art university, he travelled back to his hometown in northern Atraca. His parents and a couple of Wesley's old, long time friends had gathered to welcome him home with a party. Later that night, when all of his friends bid their goodbyes and his parents had decided to head to bed early, a Ghoul broke into their home. Looking for fresh meat to sink its razor sharp teeth into. Wesley heard glass shatter in the living room, decided to investigate. There, he was then ambushed by the Ghoul. For thirty long minutes, he had to fend off the creature, as he avoided trying to get bit and looking for a way to put it down for good. He manages to retrieve his revolver that he had just bought weeks before, hidden in his trench coat, and fired off two shots. One missed and the other hit the ghoul in the shoulder. Unfazed, the ghoul continued to attack. It charged at him and knocked him down, forcing him to fire off two shots by accident in the struggle. Before the ghoul could sink its teeth into him during the scuffle, he managed to fire off the last two shots in his revolver into the creature. One in the neck, and one dead center in the creature's forehead. Finally killing it.

### Wesley Wilch, Rookie Hunter

After that night, Wesley held lingering thoughts about the whole ordeal. He barely survived the attack. What if it had been his friends? Or his parents? He was now at a crossroads. Should he continue the simple life of a painter, and live freely, or protect others from danger as a hunter?

With the help of one of his closest friends, Kilo Miles, he proudly chose the latter.

### The Witlock Inquiry

After some time traveling with the Inquiry, Wesley was captured by Cassandra Bainbridge and was turned into a vampire. he joined Cassandra's group before being "rescued" by Valeria Witlock and Mariette Desrosiers, there he explained that Rosanna McFadden was being held by Cassandra, with Wesley's information. Rosanna was quickly rescued by the Inquiry and set off on their journey once more. eventually reaching the Duke at Elisegate Castle. where they fought the last battle and tried to kill Valeria before Sazak could take control of her body, but Cassandra distracted the group. and led to Sazak cursing the Inquiry. Wesley's curse in particular was that if he ever fell in love with someone, or if someone fell in love with him, they would lose their minds and become insane. after this, the group went their own separate ways, with Wesley making a brief stop to Reldino before going to Redonia to escape from Velin's purges.

### Three Years in Redonia

While maintaining his newfound life in Redonia, Wesley asked the help of a local ninja master. Master Saito, to train him in a proper fighting style. He was trained for over a year and a half and then passed his final initiation to become "*one with the shadows".* Wesley was given the name "Kaze Akai" (Red Wind) due to the blood-red color of his eyes and his great agility due to his vampirism, He wandered around Redonia for a while. collecting quests from locals or doing meager errands. Until he was approached by a local warlord to be his aide. He accepted the offer and became the Warlord's mysterious assistant. The Warlord ordered Wesley to remove any political opponent that might threaten his rule *by any means necessary,* and so he did. With each slit throat from a wife, child, or closest brother to a political opponent. Wesley's mind changed. He became more out of touch with himself. Sazak's curse also made him cover up his face with a mask. thus, solidifying a silent, cold-blooded Assassin. He doesn't gulp down the fact that he has murdered innocent people that he promised to protect, he blamed another **version of himself. He has become what he hated the most**. Eventually, he became consumed by his other version that he killed the Warlord and everyone that attacked him afterwards, only the death of one of his close friends brought him out of his bloodlust state, With nothing left to do in Redonia and the purges seem to have run its course, Wesley decides to return to Atraca after nearly three years.
