Scion Calanar (The Wolf)

Scion is a bit different from most. He is a reluctant hero who learned the arts of trade, combat, and a bit of strategy. His family hails from the Grand Lodge, but he didn't fit in with the family. In order to avoid his family he became a trader for a while.

He went back and forth trading goods. Once when he was carrying a valuable shipment he was attacked by bandits. Only Scion and his body guard Mark survived the attack. Not wanting to return in shame Scion cut off all connections with his family and wandered as a mercenary for a couple of years. During this time he wandered the Far East as a ruthless killer. The way he killed got him the title as The Wolf. He trained in the art of blind fighting which greatly heightened his senses as well. Eventually he ended up killing someone he cared about and realized the problems with the path he walked.

In a state of depression he wandered the Far East until he came to a strange forest. In the forest he found a spring. It was here he learned to worship the Wind God Aeolus and found his sword Storm Caller. He then set off to atone for his crimes and seek a better life. This path led him to Nighthelm.

Nighthelm had a rough start for Scion, but eventually he found his place. For a while it was among the ~V~ Hall. That held until he got into a disagreement with the Founder and left. According to his friend Senoske, his name is known throughout the south as the man who survived Arkenine. He had been nearly killed by that blade, but in an unlikely event he pulled through. His life had a small purpose, but not one he cared for.

He fought in a few battles here and there, particularly the Batesaor War, which wiped out the realm Batesaor, and put the lands under Nighthelm control. It was in this war he first met the lady Laura, the Princess of Thieves. She decided he was worthy of the title thief, and is now a good friend of Scion.

For a while there was a short pause in Scion's career. This changed when an old man appeared on his doorstep and took Storm Caller from Scion. The man instead gave Scion his old mercenary sword. This was the sword he left behind when he found Storm Caller. Scion dueled the man and broke Storm Caller with his old sword. The man took the pieces and left. Vjaya the Soul Splitter was in his hands once again.

Scion began to train for a while, and participated in Nighthelm's first tournament. It was there he beat Senoske, and then beat him twice more outside of the tournament. This meant that Scion was getting very skilled with a sword. After Scion, Senoske, and Gomorrah had built the Brotherhood of the Black Rose, Scion dueled Senoske once more and was wounded by Arken in the same place Arkenine had wounded him before. This immediately brought Scion to terms with most of his past, and allowed him to use his evil side when he needed to. This put him at a greater risk of becoming evil, but it was worth it. The dark scar of Arkenine was gone.

Another event that holds some sway to Scion is the rebellion in the Grand Lodge of Lunaria. The result put a man named Brian in power, but within a few days Scion's brother, Ziode, had taken control, and that had made Scion part of the Royal Family of the Grand Lodge. He didn't care fo it, but that was how things went.
