## Biography

### Background

Carban was born into a long line of minotaur barbarians. He was trained in basic combat at a young age by his father. On a run for supplies, Carban and a group of fellow minotauts from his village were jumped. Whilst trying to defend her son, Carban's mother was killed. The minotaurs were kidnapped and sold to arenas in Sparta.

As Carban grew up in the arena he learned how to control his rage built up inside of him over his mother's death, pushing it into short burts to increase his strength. He used this new found power to become a feared fighter in the arena, and along the way lost his motivation for battle due to his lust for glory.

The arena was attacked by freedom fighters and a riot ensued. Some slaves fought the slave owners, others fought the freedom fighters. Carban wasn't in the mood for fighting that day, and, after injuring many people of various allegiances, he saw a hole in the side of the arena and decided to move on to his next purpose.

Not knowing what to do with himself he decided to serve the first group he found, who happened to be Leoven, Khantos Evergreen, PrOtoType, Adrasteia and Rigani Mela.

## Relationships

### Khantos Evergreen

Carban quickly accepted Khantos as his closest friend and new brother, whether it was reciprocated or not. Carban saw in Khantos what he had been missing since the loss of his family, a strong companion, and it brightened his existence. Carban would eventually only tell Khantos about his departure and mysteriously disappear in the night.

### Adrasteia

Carban had a history of falling in love quickly with men and women only to shortly hereafter behead them in an arena fight. But to Carban, his attraction to Adrasteia was different. Adrasteia was kinda, caring and yet a strong ally. Carban was caught off guard by his emotions towards her and left them bottled up, unspoken, but he would attempt acts of kindness nontheless.

### Ares

Carban's family legacy is rich with stories of Ares' blessing. Carban's relationship with Ares is however highly tragic compared to those, as he blindly followed Ares through thick and thin and was time and time again used by Ares. He slaughtered enemies for Ares and in return Ares put a curse upon him increasing his rage, the one thing Carban had left of his mother. Once Carban was able to actualise the damage he was doing to his allies, close friend and crush, and was freed from the curse of the battleaxe, Carban left the Primal Seven to discover who he was to himself, after being hurt by slave owners, his allies and his god.
