Personal history

Kolbaias was a human born in the Elfan regions of Samora in the capital city of Elfanland. He was the son of two farmers who were contracted by an Elfan governor. He was usually a social outcast amongst other children and had no friends except for the rats on his family's farm and he made a bond with his rats and was able to make them do many kinds of tricks and even learn how to use tools. He began his magic studies when he presented his rats doing tricks for extra money since his parents were not lucky with their crops yields, and the arch professor of nature magic saw Kolbaias and his rats and saw great potential in him as he was so loving and caring for his rat friends. later that day the Arch Professor met with Kolbaias' parents and made an agreement that he would pay the governor's taxes on their behalf so that Kolbaias could come live at the college and learn nature magic.
Over the years Kolbaias would become a great Magi of Nature magic and was even invited by King Qualgamar to present his gifts and entertain the royal family. He would later fall in love with the princess "Diamond Leaf" and would spend many years together in secret and grew closer and closer together. When news came out that Qualgamar became sick Kolbaias went to learn the art of Life magic and when he returned it was too late and Qualgamar was already on his deathbed and Kolbaias became angry at himself and full of regrets that he took to long. After Qualgamar died however, his son Maximus took the throne and became ambitious and began to conquer and conquer and became paranoid and was convinced many of his imperial mages were spies on behalf of the colleges and had them killed but for his sister's sake spared Kolbaias and exiled him to Paradine and there he resided in Tiger town until he received a letter from princess "Diamond Leaf" and he left immediately to Qualzonia.
And when he returned his beloved had become sick like her father and was dying but this time he had time to heal her and he did but after a week she became ill again and every time he healed her the life magic became weaker and weaker and until it no longer worked and so he under the permission of King Maximus studied every book in the royal library and for many days he couldn't find a cure or let alone the type of disease she had. Until one day she died and he vowed to never stop finding a way to bring her back and for many years he read many books concerning the knowledge of bring back the dead. during his studies he read of a form of magic that had been forbidden called Death Magic and learned of the power to raise the dead and to speak with the spirits and so he was able to acquire some of tomes containing knowledge of this form of magic. After some time reading these books his mental state was said to have become weaker and he began to hear a voice telling him he could bring back his beloved and could grant him greater power. and he obeyed the voice in his head until he was imprisoned by Paradine soldiers for when he attempted to take over an entire village to use as test subjects.
while he was imprisoned his rat friends came to him and prepared his escape and they brought him good food and drink to eat instead of the slop that given to him. many prisoners saw his talents and they revered him and they asked of him if they could teach them his powers, and Kolbaias agreed to this as this is what the voice in his head commanded of him to do and so Kolbaias with his army of rats and newfound followers broke out of the prison and fled to the southwest of Paradine. Kolbaias and his men found an old fortress where former death mages used to practice their magic, and it was their that Kolbaias began to teach his followers the art of nature magic and his new students began to worship him and believed in his cause to obtain eternal life.
