Personal history
Trained as a protector to his eldest sister, Lalice - and swearing an oath of protection which he whole heartedly valued. (Oath of the Crown)
One night, under Lalice's orders, Illred embarked on a covert mission. He witnessed a meeting between the Matron of their allied family, Olath(?), and several high-ranking priests of Lolth. Their hushed voices wove a sinister plot—a coup that would bring House Mryth and many others major houses to their knees.
Relaying this information to his Mother Matron, hoping to take action, they instead presented Illred as a scapegoat to Matron Olath to avoid their destruction; and show their allegiance. He was imprisoned, branded a traitor with the scorch of an iron rod, and subjected to relentless interrogation.
Yet, as if by some unseen force, the locks on his shackles inexplicably released, the cell door unlocking, provoking his escape. Bewildered and wary, Illred fled the city that had once been his home, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions.
On the surface, he found his footing as a mercenary, and the father of a kitten, but his minded still clouded by questions. Who had orchestrated his release? Did his sister Lalice purposefully send him on the mission?
