Metsamees Family/Voidsmith

"Voidsmith" Alnus Metsamees

Alnus

Elise

Eldest and only son of Ingus Metsamees.

Like his father Alnus is socially on the observer role, by his nature he dosnt part take conversations on his own initiative unless the topic is of great importance or interest to him.
Alnus is also exceptionally calm minded, he is hard to anger and is generally thick skinned so insulting him effectively is a difficult task.
However when he has been crossed in a unforgivable manner, he will not forget abaut it and tends to hold grudges for long time.
Also he is rather the ladys man, and is often and easely distracted by opposite sex.
And also like his father Alnus is not very big build but is rather agile and has alot of stamina.
Alnus is talented in several war arts, which left him some more free time in his youth when he was thought those arts, thus the free time he spent near the furnace and anvil, often makeing weapons or other trinkets for his own delight.
And became quite talented as a blacksmith.
As it is custom children in Metsamees clan at educated in herbalism, fighting and survival techniques and all sorts of knowledge of nature, Alnus was no exception.
Although he also was thought the ancient beliefs of the clan, he remains rather indifferent towards them.


At the age of 18 Alnus left home to South-East and became a knight in the realm of Taselak although Taselak was nearing its doom as Alnus arrived.
Later when the revolt set the four nations of South-East back to theyr original state Alnus joined the Ikalak's side, and for a long time served as a cavalry commander, and his record although not spotless was rather impressive he was considered one of the greatest warriors at the time in Ikalak, by the enemy body count under his name which wasnt the greatest but was near the top.
During the war Alnus got close to a woman named Elise Strong, they married and Alnus returned from the South-East with her to Atamara.
Where Alnus joined Eston to serve as a knight, some a while he tried his hand as a merchant, which became rather devastating as it turned out Alnus had no commercial sense.
Alnus and Elise had a son and named him Ulmus.
Then Alnus discovered his true calling as a assassin, at first he wasnt too successful at it, as he up until that point been a cavalry commander.
But after extensive training and practice he became quite deadly.
After hearing from his cousin Arctos abaut the Assassin realm, he became rather intrigued with it and decided to take his wife and son with him, as he intended to stay there for a longer time.
However before he managed to depart he got captured by Minas Ithil an got deported to Bellatuera, where he spent a short time in Sint before he managed to take a ship to the Colonies.
As he served under Assassin realm he became quite fond of it as his cousin had predicted.
But he unfortunately got captured and again deported but this time to Far East.
There he worked for a transport fee back to his home in the colonies.
Only to be captured again, months later and deported to East Continent, where he works for Ilbadesh.
It seems luck was with him, or has abandoned him compleetly.
as he was captured by Itorunt and deported back to colonies and his home.
And for a while he was back in his home again. After a while he once again got captured and was sent to Bellatuera where he joined Melhed.
While there he honed his skills further, but eventually got deported to East Continent, where he joined the realm of Ibladesh once again, and also met Ragnar, his cousin Raimonds son.
However by that time Alnus was no longer the man he had useto had been, the death of his son, led his wife to abandon him, though none including Alnus does or can blame her.
Alnus now wastes the waning years of his life with liquor, women and wandering from place to place, though his main entertainment still is his tool of trade, assassination and sabotage.
However Alnus had changed.
The change in him was clear, as was its starting point.
What gave Alnus the growing fondness... no hunger and impulse for homicidal and sadistical behavior was the event of him being tortured by daimons, for he had attacked on of theyr kind.
In his shadowy trade, when he useto perform cleanly and exercised mercy by quick death.
He now exercises brutality and sadism to unnecessary extents, no longer is this trade simply a thrill and means to an end, but also a source of victims to his sadism.
In time he was again captured and deported to colonies, where he joined the Assassins realm, (though he expected to be executed for his colorful actions against the nobility of Itorunt), a realm closest to home for him. Over time in the colonies Alnus attacked many, nobles and commoners alike, as usual in growing brutality, quantity and frequency.
Soon Alnus reasoned himself to refrain from indulging those impulses, which drove him quite mad over time.
His madness grew, until a breaking point came.
He at first diverted and focused his attention on a single target Wetham judge Constantine for his act of executing another infiltrator (though likely anyone would had been fine), as his madness drew back.
No longer did Alnus restrain his impulses, and indulged them to the fullest, but inturn he lost himself.
Now he cared little for anything but suffering, be it whom evers, even if it was himself.
He had become the most monstrous, sinister and evil monster among monsters,
a human monster, peerless in its cruelty and brutality, though weaker in body a extremely cunning monster.
Simple killing and mutilation was no longer enough to satisfy Alnuses "hunger".
Yes his need for murder and malice could be compared to hunger, for him it is as desperate and suffocating feeling, even if one rations with it he cant all that easely overcome it, let alone Alnus who has already succumbed to it and no longer even reasons himself to stop.
