## Appearance

Gregor is a hunched back man who is 5 feet. His arms are over large and hover 6 inches above the ground when relaxed while standing, they also serve has his witchmark for those who have studied spell craft. His hands are equally large allowing him to cup almost his whole head in one. His face is deformed making him not very attractive. With the combination of that and his odd speech patterns, most people find him generally off putting if not monstrous. Oddly enough despite all the near death experiences he's had, his face hasn't gained any scars. His hair and eyes are a boring brown.

## Background/Story so far

To start with Gregor's history we have to start with his mother. A girl who had he freedom and name taken from her when she accidentally signed herself away to a life of prostitution. Unluckily for her it would last long as soon after one of her clients infected her with a magical blood disease. This man of the occult would disappear as soon as he appeared effectively avoiding paying the organization to heal her. When the normal doctors couldn't do anything about it and declared she would be dead in less then 5 years they kicked her out and left her for dead. Out of all this bad news she would find some good news as soon after arriving in a small town looking for any hope of a cure she found she was pregnant. While not wanting her around, due to her disease that had some visual effects on her, the villagers of the time couldn't just abandon the 15 year old mother so they gave her a small home a good 200 feet away from the next closest building that sit in the woods. It would in that house Gregor would be born and live a good majority of his life.

After Gregor was born he and his mother continued to live a hard life. Finding work was hard for her as few of the villagers wanted to associate with her as the disease continued to warp her flesh. She would even starve herself to make sure Gregor was fed. She personally taught Gregor and learned how to read, write, and do basic math. But by the time Gregor reached the age of 10 his mother could no longer walk as the bones and muscles in her legs finally failed her. Gregor had never been accepted much by the villages as they believed he had the same disease his mother did, although he showed no signs of deforming more then he had been at birth, but after his mother became bedridden and Gregor had to work that fear increased even more. Fortunately Gregor was not so easily broken. No amount of beating, yelling, or being avoided wouldn't stop him from earning a living.

Just 2 years later something strange would happen and at their doorstep Gregor and his mother would find a young boy by the name of Eos. With glowing eyes and the ability to speak to spirits, who could tell him of the future, the town was quick to send the young runaway to the house with the other outcasts. It wasn't longer before Eos had become a member of the family and a calm headed anchor Gregor could cling to when things got heated. It was Eos introducing the concept of magic to Gregor that lead him to realize what he could do in the first place. However, the harder part was applying it. After learning his magic was rather weak he took it upon himself to learn how to fight and combine fighting and magic.

As Gregor reached 20 years of age his mother's condition only worsened. She was now completely mistakable for an aberration. No longer resembling a human and on the verge of death, she still pretended to be strong even when the two of them could see she was weak. It was at this time one of Gregor's most treasured possessions would be created, a drawing of the family with his mother being drawn as the artist believed she would if she had been cured years ago. One night she finally cracked and cried out in pain and sorrow. Gregor spent the whole night with her and by the morning the cries had stopped and she was dead. A rumor spread that Gregor had broken himself and delivered a mercy killing but only Gregor and Eos would know the truth behind that.

After they buried their mother Eos began to chase his dreams of becoming bigger then small town they lived in, much to Gregor's dismay. Gregor did not have much time to dream and didn't like the idea of moving to a city but Eos was convincing and had a plan so Gregor bought books and got ready for this several day trip they would take. It would take 5 more years before that dream would become a reality and the two of them would move to Absalom.

However not everything goes to plan as the 2 of them returned to their hometown to clean up their mother's grave they would find it dug up with the spirits telling them that something had left the grave first. They followed the drag marks of the coffin and found it went to the home of the towns owner, Thuldrin Kreed. After regrouping and gaining a new ally in Rookwood they would wage a 1 minute war as Rookwood raided the manor and Gregor set the walls and building on fire, they would leave with more question then answers as they now had a 8 year old vampire in tow.

After a return to the city Gregor would find that Eos had a terrible vision where Gregor died and had left to fix it, leaving Gregor disheartened but still on the war path to figure out what was going on. After some research and a journal left behind by Eos they realized they had left prematurely as the answers they where after where in the Darkmoon Vale. They traveled back and with the vampire as their guide they found a apple tree grove Gregor would often visit when he was young completely rotten and decayed. As if to add to his confusion he follows the vampire to a village straight out of a story book. Soon after they found the source of their problems, the Unseelie known as Feargan the creator of 'perfect' vampirism.

While their conversation was long and Gregor didn't do much talking he found out several things. His father had become a feral vampire and was cursed to forever from the Darkmoon Vale. More sadly he found out his father's experiment had works and the blood of his mother had become a twisted plant like axe, aptly named 'The Axe of the Nameless Woman'. After parting with Rookwood and the vampire, as they would stay with Feargan, he avoided the town and headed back to the city a little unsure of what to do.

## Goals

With the mystery of his past largely solved Gregor has two main goals at the moment; figure how to stop himself from turning into a vampire and either figure out how he would die to avoid it or get strong enough that would ever tried to kill him couldn't.
