## Biography

Averford is the daughter of an elven warrior Ilixidor and a human wizard Diena. She has a younger half-brother Verin and sister Anabel.

Averford trained in weaponry and magic under the tutelage of Quin Floris. As a young adult, she traveled to the ends of the kingdom doing jobs for mercenary guilds. She eventually came into possession of the Moonshadow Crescent, a scimitar with the power of the gods Sehanine and Shar, binding Averford to a warlock-like contract and giving her magic.

In 1598, Averford encountered Demetrius Beck, a young wizard apprentice running away from his abusive master. Averford helped him escape the wizard's search for him by giving him a talisman of abjuration. Averford and Demetrius lived together as roommates in Grimmston.

In 1600, Averford heard that her mother intended to marry off Verin to George Byron. She became wary of Diena's intentions behind the action. One evening, Verin called her in a panic after his abusive fiance assaulted him. Averford broke into Byron's house, disarmed one of his guards, and scarred Byron's face to get Verin out. Following this, Averford and Verin were disowned by the Gallus family for a short time.

Averford, Verin, and Demetrius met Lycians Xiao Kai and Ziya Niano. They began adventuring together for several years. Averford also met Opal Joyero Araña, another hexblade warlock and otherworldly champion who was charged with helping Averford by helping her unlocking a few secrets of her blade.

In 1606, when Demetrius, Verin, and Giorno DiGiuseppi are kidnapped by Theodosia Marquette, Averford, Kai, Ziya, Anabel, and Jayda Haro all fought against the Butcher. Averford was the last one of the group standing before Anabel killed Theodosia.

However, the group was separated when the Arcadian-Lycian War began.

By 1619 PS, Averford lived in a cabin on the outskirts of the northern town of Jadeite in a region known as Treason's Edge.
