## Biography

### Background

In the labyrinthine depths of the Underdark, where shadows dance in perpetual twilight, Galand Bloovery was born to House Bloovery, a lesser-known Drow house vying for influence within the dark and treacherous society. From the beginning, Galand displayed an innate connection to the arcane, a spark of magic that set him apart from his peers. As he grew, so did his thirst for knowledge and power. The intricacies of the arcane arts fascinated him, but his ambitions reached beyond the conventional studies of his House. Secretly delving into forbidden tomes and practicing ancient demonic rituals, Galand sought to unlock the untapped potential within his bloodline. During a clandestine ritual deep within the echoing chambers of House Bloovery, Galand's latent demonic heritage manifested with a surge of otherworldly energy. Shadows twisted and writhed around him as demonic power coursed through his veins. The transformation was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, as the young Drow found himself partially infused with the essence of the Abyss. This metamorphosis did not go unnoticed. The matriarch of House Bloovery, fearing the unpredictable nature of demonic influence, sought to suppress Galand's newfound powers. In an act of defiance, Galand fled the oppressive confines of his house, leaving behind the only life he had known. He ventured deeper into the Underdark, guided by whispers in the shadows that seemed to call him toward an unknown destiny. During his solitary journey, Galand encountered a mysterious figure cloaked in darkness. The entity revealed itself to be a lesser demon, drawn to Galand's burgeoning demonic essence. Instead of hostility, the demon offered guidance, teaching Galand to harness and control the chaotic energies within him. Under the demon's tutelage, Galand's powers flourished, and he became a formidable sorcerer, blending Drow magic with demonic might. As the years passed, whispers of Galand's arcane prowess reached the ears of Valtair, the Demon Prince known as "The Creator." Intrigued by the Drow's unique heritage and potential, Valtair extended an offer of servitude. Galand, recognizing the opportunity to further unravel the mysteries of the arcane, accepted. In the service of Valtair, Galand became a trusted assistant, his powers augmented by ancient artifacts and forbidden knowledge. The very fabric of the Abyss intertwined with his magic, allowing him to peer into the chaotic realm and manipulate its energies. Now, at 382 years old, Galand Bloovery stands as a testament to the convergence of Drow cunning and demonic might. His journey, from the shadowed halls of House Bloovery to the service of a Demon Prince, is a tale of defiance, discovery, and the pursuit of power that echoes through the twisting tunnels of the Underdark.
