## Biography

### Background

Damon's parents, Novin and Netress, were originally from the city of Provenance, but it was destroyed by the Wither. After a long journey, the two settled on a series of small islands, which they named “The Motherland.” Novin was secretly a descendent of one of the Overworld brothers, after they had reduced themselves to mortal forms. Together, Novin and Netress had two children; Cadmus, the elder son, and Damon, the younger son.

In time, Cadmus and Damon would go on to do great things- and they would even be pitted against each other eventually. But for now, they were simply brothers, with an undying loyalty to one another. However, Cadmus would eventually join an organization called the “Order of the Sunflower” who had the goal of settling the untouched lands. Leaving his younger brother behind, Cadmus eventually became the leader of the Order, founding the “Mushroom Cult” in secret. Damon would also become a member of a similar order, the “Order of the Cornflower” and he moved to their base of Potato Keep somewhere near the Motherland isles. In due time, the two would meet again, but it would be on opposite sides of an unjust war.

### Arrival

In the months following the corruption’s defeat, Cadmus sent letters across the land to invite more people to come live in New Anvil. Of those that were received, only a few came; Kezor, an amateur knight and warrior, Firghin, a rogue and a small-time thief, Pan, an old man who had lived for many years, Icarus, a scholar, and none other than Cadmus’ younger brother, Damon.

### Betrayal

During the age of betrayal, tensions were high between the brothers Cadmus and Damon. While they were brothers, they were still on opposite sides of a war- the Order of the Sunflower, and the Order of the Cornflower. While the war itself never reached New Anvil- it was mainly situated on a separate continent, far to the west of the Motherland Isles- Cadmus and Damon were still high-ranking officers of their respective orders. Unfortunately for Damon, the Order of the Cornflower was losing, and their final base of Potato Keep had been overrun. As his final order, the leader sent a message to Damon in New Anvil; he was to steal the village’s most prized artifact, the Emerald Block. The Emerald Block was a medium-sized cube, made of emeralds that had been condensed together. It was created during the time of arrivals, to celebrate the economy’s rebirth with emeralds as their official currency.

As reluctant as Damon was to betray his own brother, he had a responsibility to the Order of the Cornflower, as all of the members overseas had been wiped out, effectively making him the very last one. To help him, Damon recruited the services of Firghin the rogue, who assisted him in stealing the Emerald. Unfortunately, they were discovered, and the alarm was raised. Cadmus led the villagers in a chase after Damon, desperate to get back their most prized artifact. Damon was able to escape with the Emerald, but had so at the expense of his accomplice- Firghin had been caught. He was put on trial for crimes against the town, and was banished, never allowed to return.

After traveling for miles, through oceans, deserts, and forests, Damon came across an enormous mountain island, where he decided he would take refuge, and build a base. He named the base “The Lone Wolf” and dubbed the mountain “Mount Canis” The event of Damon stealing the Emerald Block would be known as the Great Heist, and was the spark that ignited the Cold War; a conflict that encompassed nearly the entire world. Once Damon had completed construction of the Lone Wolf, he made a harrowing journey back to New Anvil to finish what he started when stealing the Emerald Block.

### Cold War

Once he made it back to the mainland, Damon infiltrated New Anvil in the middle of the night, sneaking into the Town Hall’s underground tunnels, where he stole many important items. Of the ones he stole, they included: The Dragonslayer Armor- the armor Cadmus had been wearing when the Ender Dragon was slain, the Crystal of Duenomotron- a shard of Amethyst that had been excavated from underneath the village, and the Dragon Head of Dragon Hall- a trophy taken from the End, in the days following the initial slaying of the Ender Dragon. Before Damon could leave, he was caught and confronted by Camus. In the split seconds of them seeing each other, Cadmus raised his sword to strike, but hesitated, reluctant to kill his own brother. This hesitation allowed Damon to escape, and Cadmus was furious- both at Damon and at himself.

As the sun rose, and the morning came, Cadmus alerted all of the village to Damon’s infiltration, placing a substantial bounty on his brother’s head. All of the town’s most skilled warriors went after Damon with the hopes of claiming the bounty, including Kezor, Zephyr, and Charon. Kezor didn’t make it very far before falling off a mountain, where he was presumed dead. Zephyr gave up and went back to town, deciding that the reward was not worth the journey. Charon was the one to finally catch up to Damon, where he stopped, and offered Damon a proposal.

Charon was worried that Cadmus was becoming more and more tyrannical with each passing day, and if they didn’t stop him, he would turn New Anvil into a dictatorship. Charon’s proposal was that they form an alliance- Charon would return to New Anvil claiming that Damon was dead, and Charon would split the reward with him. Charon would then act as a spy for Damon, working to undermine whatever Cadmus was planning. Eventually, others joined in secret, including Zephyr, Pandora, Creon, and Argo. They named the movement the Allium Alliance, or AA for short.
