## **Biography**

### Early Life

Cain Mantlemorn along with his older twin sister Reya, were born in the farming village of Soubar. Being not far from the city of Elturel, Cain would always look forward to the regular Hellrider patrols that would pass the village. See the paladins in their glory Cain dreamed to one day be among their ranks.

A nightly raid by a tribe of goblins attacks Soubar causing his mother, Cain, and Reya to flee on horse back to seek aid from Elturel. Pursued and stopped not far from Elturel surrounded when all seemed lost. The light that shown like the sun, radiating from their saviors, the Hellriders had come! Charging on horse-back the Hellriders dispatched many of the goblins and chasing off the rest. The Hellriders take the family back to the city of Elturel bathed in the light of the Companion.

### The Descent

Cain and Reya now Hellriders, report to provide security to a performance of Andraste Darkstar. Following a skirmish with the attempted thievery of the Creed Resolute, the entire City of Elturel is dragged into Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells. Cain and Reya were separated in the Chaos with hoards of devils attacking. Cain struggling to defend the city is then approached by the narzugon devil, Haruman. Cain is quickly defeated and decapitated by Haruman.

Cain awake to be in the presence of Bel, General and Duke of Avernus. Bel offers Cain to join him and his goals, to which Cain refuses. Bel decided to start with a clean slate and dragged Cain to the bank of the River Styx forcing him beneath, striping him of his all memories.

### Remember who you are

Bel's Angels arrive in the City of Elturel. After some exploring, Cain gets seperated from the party and faces against his twin sister Reya. Durring the ensuing fight Reya lands a decisive blow destroying Cains horned helm reveiling his face. Recognizing her brother who no longer remembers her or the hellriders urges him to remember who he once was.

### Regaining Memories

Bels angels travel to the source of the river Styx in order to recover Cains memories from the ice. Upon consuming the crystal Cain regain all the memories that were lost, his time as a Hellrider, his friends, his family, and the reason he fought, to protect those who could not.

### The Final Battle

After freeing the demon Kostchtchie, Bels Angels confront Zariel below the city of Elturel. Upon defeating her the party reminds her of the good she once fought for, and that she can redeemed. Giving her the sword she returns to Lythander.
