Marsander - "Mars"
Marsander was born to a wretched Grippa in the slums of Ank Urson, capital of the Urson empire.
He barely survived birth and infancy.
His mother died when he was only two years old, he has very few memories of her, but he remembers the sentries who walked by without a care for her dying in the streets.
He was taken under the wing of another orphan boy, Sepheren (named himself after a legendary hero) who taught him how to survive and treated him like a brother.
Together they learned how to steal, manipulate, and fight.
Sepheren was older and wanted to become just like his namesake and so he enlisted in the Urson military.
Mars instead, fell in with a crowd of criminals and assassins. The leader of which took notice of Mars and apprenticed him in the ways of murder, alchemy, and faith.
Mars discoverd his natural affinity for learning magic as well as the forbidden knowledge of the true religion.
Mars became obsessed with esoterica and the arcane, garnering more power and augmenting himself with tech enhancements.
Sepheren was always devoted to justice and what was right, but turned a blind eye to Mars due to their history, though he scorned his actions and tried to redeem him.
Mars turned his back on Sepheren and instead infiltrated the College of the Arcane as an Acolyte of the Path, learning how to wield Vesper from some of the most powerful warlocks in the empire.
He then murdered them, stealing their power for his own.
He created his own following called the Knights of Noth whos grand aim was to find and release the ancient being they believed slept dormant under the world somewhere in Karavas.
Haddrath, a Titan discoverd his machinations and confronted him. Mars had planned for his and tricked him, trapping him and siphoning his power for his own making him the most powerful warlock in Karavas at the time.
Sepheren had concurrently risen the ranks in the military with great achievements and had been indoctrinated into the order of Paragons, mighty tech-augmented paladins wielding powerful weapons. Sepheren volunteered to hunt Mars down with the intent to save any shred of the boy he once knew.
Mars annihalated an entire army of the Urson's enemies on his way to the tomb of the Banished One.
Sepheren caught up to him at the gates of the Necropolis and they battled. Sepheren was nearly killed, but Mars spared him.
Mars proceeded to find the Banished One and awaken Noth. He agreed to release Noth in exchange for a boon of power. Noth granted him a vision of the power he could wield and Mars began the ritual of releasing the being. Noth began to shake the earth as his powers began to rise, sinking Ank Urson above into the ocean. Realising the extent of this beings power, Mars understood his folly. Sepheren found him again and together they began to re-seal the ancient being. Mars became trapped within the tomb of the Elder god while Sepheren was mortally wounded. Mars watched his friend die before he was enveloped in the spell of suspended animation.
Thousands of years later, Mars is discovered by happenstance and revived, but he has lost his memory. His rescuers believe him to be a legendary hero from old times, but his memories slowly return and he realizes what he is responsible for. He decides to become the person his brother Sepheren believed him to be and help Sol and Aruna defeat the Thakkar threat and destroy Noth forever.
