Personal history
Zagreus Mal’Doran was born outside the city of Graynor to Lysander Mal’Doran, a half Drow crossbowman in the city milita and Pyrrha, a Tielfing tinkerer and second daughter to a noble house of Hell. Pyrrah would never discuss her family though, other than saying that she had fled them and Hell to escape a political marriage her parents had arranged that she wanted no part of. She had made her way to Graynor and after proving her skill with machinery found a job as part of the maintenance crews for the artillery on the city walls. It’s where she would also meet her future husband Lysander while he was patrolling one night.
Neither Drow or Tieflings were particularly well regarded by the primarily human population but the two found happiness with each other and the metropolitan population was as a whole more tolerant than the smaller cities. The two eventually got married and a few years later Pyrrah gave birth to Zagreus. Unfortunately their happy little family was not to last. When Zagreus was eight years old he was roused from his sleep one night to the sounds of a scuffle. He ran out of his room to find a creature of shadow and smoke standing over his father’s body and pulling Pyrrha towards it. That would be the last time Zagreus ever saw his mother, for even as he stepped into the doorway they both vanished in a puff of smoke and the scent of brimstone. While there was no way for him to prove it, Zagreus has always believed the creature was sent by his maternal grandparents to punish his mother for running away and ruining whatever alliance their intended union was meant to bring about by taking her back “home”.
With no other biological family in the city Zagreus found himself alone on the streets. He spent several weeks trying survive by begging and stealing from food stands with little success. During these weeks he started noticing and speaking with other children who were in similar situations to himself. After building trust and a rapport with several of these children Zagreus was eventually inducted into the merry band known as the Wharf Rats. It was there that he learned the skills needed to survive on the streets of Craysilt. How to move and blend in the crowds despite his unique features, how to cut a purse and get across town before the owner noticed it was gone, how to pick a lock in the dead of night, and how to defend himself and his spoils from the other thieves and cutthroats roaming the streets.
As Zagreus grew older he learned he also had a singular talent for tracking down people and items that others didn’t want found. When he aged out of the wharf rats he turned the skills he learned into a lucrative career in bounty hunting. He has worked for people across the societal spectrum, from crime bosses to nobles, leading to a number of useful contacts in the city and surrounding territory he can reach out to for access or information. He also makes sure that part of his earnings go to the Wharf Rats to pay back the kindness they showed him.
