Personal history
Sozomul was raised in a noble family, and had high expectations of him from birth. Getting through his education, he began to uncover his love of mathematics and business development. After his seemingly endless attempts to qualify to be a certified mathematician amongst the Royal Society of Alchemists, he used this newfound recognition to spark his first delve into the silver industry.
Silver seemed to of have been on the rise, in light of the recent deaths in Cannach, the Ganerian Port Town, in which he lived, and so now seemed a better time than ever. Little did young Sozomul realise the culprit of these murders until she hovered over him in his bed.
This beast, Nashandra, a Higher Vampire, imbued the vampiric curse to Sozomul unintentionally. He had struck back with a silver candelabra to try and knock her away, but the blood of the blow splashed into his mouth, poisoning his body and soul.
Never had his body, mind, nay spirit anticipate the torturous transformation that came that night. Cold sweats, shivers, intense burning, loss of breath and heartbeat, and an insatiable appetite for blood.
For a while, he feasted on his staff, draining every inch of life from their bodies, but couldn't come to kill a child that worked as his bootblack. It was then he came to the realisation that he needed to break away from this violent norm. He starved himself crazy for days, weeks, and months on end, so he could protect those around him.
Before he could no longer take the pain of hunger, a stranger approached him in his home, with a remedy to his condition. It was no concoction nor paste, but the water of an expensive Nexalian fruit... A coconut.
He invested heavily in these fruits, and drank their water, finding his thirst for blood sated.
He has since employed a full house of staff, and expanded his business to the gemstone industry, and textiles, making him extremely wealthy in wartime Novaria.
