## Biography

Samilsteen was adopted by the inventor Teslania Alokin at approximately the age of 8 years old. As both her son and apprentice, Samilsteen studied the planar sciences and engineering under her care. In 1149 APS, when Samilsteen was 16 years old, Teslania was lost to an accident involving a planar experiment and an arcane object. Samilsteen was able to save himself by holding onto an immovable rod. However, he lost his left arm to the portal during his attempt to save teslania. According to the scholar Aengus mac Creidhne, the blueprints for the project contain runic symbols associated with the Shadowfell, and reveal it as an attempt to force a portal opening into the Shadowfell.

Following the death of Teslania, Samilsteen attended Le Acadamie du Sorcellerie and studied engineering, planar sciences, and art before moving to Vintou of Anticon, Gallia. There, he scraped by as a member of the community, living with his school-time friend, Desire.

## Relationships

### Benedict de Lefent

Samilsteen has an active distaste and even hatred for the Ex-Viscount Benedict de Lefent, so much so that he was willing to kill the man when presented the opportunity. It is unbeknownst as to exactly why, but it is somehow related to the accident in which he lost his arm and adoptive mother approximately 20 years ago.

### Desire

Desire and Samilsteen were school friends who moved in together after completing their educations. Samilsteen holds Desire in high esteem as both a friend and colleague, and is happy to grant any request she might have. Desire aids in bringing Samilsteen out of his shell and encourages him to pursue his dreams while still taking care of himself.

### Itzal Delgado

Samilsteen and Itzal have had a tense relationship filled with tentative trust. Samilsteen found out Itzal's identity early on when he threatened to kill Benedict de Lefent and Itzal revealed himself to not truly be the man he wanted to kill, but instead someone attempting to end the war. Despite knowing Itzal to be a Navarran spy, Samilsteen hopes that Itzal can deliver on his ambitions.

### Hatch'net Sixfingers

There is a strange tension between Hatch'net and Samilsteen that often borders on or leads to flirting. Both are somewhat cocky men who appear to have taken somewhat of an interest in the other. Last they met, Samilsteen secretly left a portrait of himself in Hatch'net's room and asked him to remember his name in a note.

### Sangremore

Arcane and engineering geniuses with matching hubris, Samilsteen and Sangremore have interest in each other's intellect. Samilsteen sees Sangremore as someone which he can bounce queries off of, a source of information, and perhaps even someone who can bring him some comfort. When frustrated or confused by something, Samilsteen often goes to ask for Sangremore's input.
