Amon was born in a very unnatural way. The union of a god and a soul that had already lived its life. Baldur the god of beauty and poetry, beloved by all his kin before Ragnarok, had fallen for a woman in Helheim. This woman's name was Ama Mathison, a normal woman by most standards, who had found herself in Helheim due to peculiar circumstances. They bonded through their shared trauma and loss of family, and eventually had a son that they named Amon. When Amon was around the age of 12 Hel, the ruler of Helheim, found out about her uncles deceased lover and their son they were keeping from her. She admonished Baldur for his actions as an afront to the natural course of life and death and dubbed this boy an abomination who should be killed immediately. Through appealing to Hels sense of the natural progression of life and negotiations on punishment Hel decided to let him live, but he would be banished to the material plane to fend for himself away from his mother and father. Amon remembers saying his goodbyes through teary eyes, his parents saying that they would see him again some day, and with that he was cast out to live with mortal men. He lived for the first few months by stealing bread, food, and really anything he could get his hands on. He got water from streams and rivers and barely clung to life for as long as he could. One day when he felt like he could no longer go any further a hand reached out to him and offered to help him. This hand was from a man named Cornelius Roche. Cornelius took Amon back to his temple in the woods and gave him a place to stay and food to eat. He was introduced to Mr. Roche's wife Lilliana who asked him if he had any family they could help him get back to. He told them he had no family he could return to being careful not to give them any insight on his heritage. He found out the Roches' worshipped a very esoteric god named Faliruk and they had a small "following" of people who worshipped him also. At first Amon was not interested in learning about this god, still believing in his fathers power and hoping he would come bring him home, but over time as he realized this wasn't going to happen he became more open to Faliruk's temptations. His deep brown hair became a raven black, his tan skin became ashey grey, his glowing golden eyes even became like two burning coals that were left over after a fire had died down. He had truly become an abomination in the eyes of the world..................... but to himself he was the definition of beauty. How could he be anything less?
