Maldron/Zarod
Zeldron the ashen was raised in a small village named Greatstone. His family was poor as he grew up and they tried to get by daily. They struggled to find work since as Tieflings they were looked down upon and mistreated because of their infernal heritage. In this small village, a small cult formed. They abducted children and sacrificed them to various fiends out of greed and folly. The cult members were part of various merchant families and richer houses that liked to indulge in pleasure and the forbidden. Due to their heritage more and more people began to believe that it was Zeldron’s family that had started taking the kids and so an angry mob knocked down the door of their house, took Zeldron’s parents, and slayed them. Zeldron was hidden by his parents along with his twin brother Maldron beforehand in a small barrel that was left unchecked. His parents taught him that humans were scared and frail creatures not worth hating. Zeldron steeled himself along with his brother and in spite of their wrongdoings tried his best to be as forgiving and understanding as he could be. Because of this, he is in constant turmoil because of his childhood. Zeldorn and Maldron left their home and became a wandering mercenaries and occasionally worked odd jobs out of sheer necessity. Yet when they left their village they didn't leave alone. As the years went by Zeldorn would have visions of an old decrepit creature. It would try and talk to him and day by day his feeble voice would get louder until eventually, he could hear his soft words. “Find me, child of ash, for you and I are alone in this world,” it said in a dry murmur. The days went by and the dream would reoccur until one day he decided to respond. “How do I find you?” he asked and then he saw a vision of some symbol. The creature spoke,” Scar the earth with this symbol and place some blood on its center and you will soon understand who it is you are”. Waking from his delirium that was exactly what he did. He drew a nanogram connect at each point by a circle. In the middle, he drew a small chalice. Finally, he cut his palm and touched his bleeding hand in the center. As he did so he entered a trance and there before him stood the vile decaying corpse of the creature he dreamed of. It spoke to him “ I am Zarod the decayed, your predecessor, I see you my kin, and wish to help you, I only ask that you listen to me and seek to better yourself for all I want is to see my kin rise to power. Go now, you have my blessing.”. The truth is that unbeknownst to Zeldron, Zarod was imprisoned in a sealed ritualistic chalice. His intention was to empower and raise the young tiefling to make himself a body fit for his reincarnation and capable of freeing his soul. Zeldron doesn’t know of the true intentions of his Patreon but he is careful and not evil in any way. He is understanding and while not good by nature he believes that the world has never meant to be black or white but as his skin shades of gray. Now powered by his Patreon he seeks adventure to grow and see more of the world as a means to find his true intentions and also to find who was behind the ritualistic murders in his own town to show them that his parents were no monsters and to prove to the villagers that hatred what you don't understand is wrong. The reason why Zarod was able to connect to Zeldron was due to an unfortunate and improvable series of events. One of the rituals in the village was dedicated to him and while he is weak due to the seal he was able to materialize enough strength to connect to his kin that luckily for him were in the same village. Zeldron is slain and so the only person now capable of being his vessel is Malron in spite of the fact that he is less favorable. Malron received all of Zelrons positions and was told about what happened at Cragmaw castle. As Malron slept the crystal embued with Zarods power started to corrupt him and his dreams. More and more he was angered by what happened to his brother. He swore revenge for the death of his brother. This surge in anger also came with nightmares of an old wounded creature and eventually he made contact with Zarod.
Zarod was a lich that lived 5 centuries ago until his corporeal sealing by a band of clerics. He is a decrepit yet understanding being and while not good by nature he believes that the world has never meant to be black or white but as his peeling tiefling skin, shades of gray. Zeldron now powered by his Patreon he seeks adventure to grow and see more of the world as a means to find his true intentions and also to find who was behind the ritualistic murders in his own town to show them that his parents were no monsters and to prove to the villagers that hatred what you don't understand is wrong. The reason why Zarod was able to connect to Zeldron was due to an unfortunate and improvable series of events. One of the tomes used in a ritual in his home village contained an incantation of unbinding, a means to dispel magic.Thus unbeknownst to the town folk who have no inkling of an idea to the relatively close proximity of the sealed cadaver of the old lich, they undid his seal by the width of a hair. This small gap allowed him to materialize enough magical strength to connect to his kin that luckily for him resided in the same village. It seems that his family never migrated from the area where he was born. Unfortunately Zeldron came to a quick demise and so the only person now capable of being his door, his means of release is young Malron in spite of the fact that he is less magically favored. Malron received all of Zeldrons possessions and was told about what happened at Cragmaw castle. As Malron slept the crystal imbued with Zarods power started to corrupt him and his dreams. More and more he was angered by what happened to his brother. He swore revenge for the death of his brother. This surge in anger also came with nightmares of an old wounded creature and eventually he made contact with Zarod.
In the weeks leading up to Zeldrons death Malron had been feeling uneasy around his brother, something that until a couple months ago would be an outrageous consideration given their close brotherly bond developed over years of solitude and kinsmanship. In spite of this , Zeldron seems to be driving a wedge between them. He had lately been morose and Malron quickly picked up on the subtle yet unsettling new tendencies that Zeldron was displaying. At the forefront of these peculiarities was his brother's new magical prowess. As if by miracle his brother had learned to cast spells and cantrips.Wishing to learn more about this rather strange development Malron would prod his brother and seeing that he would steel himself and lie he decided to learn as much as possible about the gaining of magic. Along with his brother's new innate powers there seemed to be a shadow that had fallen over their family and home. There would be peculiarities such as late night whispers in the darkness and dim grey hues that he would see in states of half slumber. One night while staying up late doing research he came to the conclusion that his brother was either a sorcerer or warlock. He knew however which of these two his brother was. Without the cast of doubt he was in the presence of a Warlock. He would often see that dreadful face as his brother slept while a mild moldy odor hung over his brother.
After his brother's death he contacted a now desperate Zarod who made a contract with him. So long as his body would serve in freeing him he would continue to supply him with arcane power. After their brief dream-like encounter Malron decided to visit a banshee that lurked on the outskirts of the town. He desired more knowledge on his patron and having previously known of her as the ancient protector of his new home he made the journey that very morning in search of knowledge.
