Personal history

David was born with a rare case of lycanthropy. His parents were normal people but by some oddity he was cursed. By the age of 11 David had killed both his parents and escaped his hometown. He was picked up by the Iron Brand and they gave him what he needed to survive and after some years he had become loyal to them and continued to work with them. He continued to work with them until they were attacked by a group of adventurers and he was killed by Yaxora Tayker.   Though David was killed, this would not be the end of his journey. David would open his eyes again after being slain, but the people who met him when he awoke was unknown to him. A cult devoted to the gods of destruction had found his corpse after a vision gifted by Malar had reached their champion of Malar. The champion Markay Reltreb who was the head of Malar in the cult had resurrected him as his god had commanded that David was to be given a new chance at life. David was unsure of the god who wanted him alive, but did not want to waste his second chance at life; he had also been gifted with new abilities which seemed to have been related to the ones wielded by Yaxora, the hero who had killed him.   David followed the cult and became part of their group. He would be taught many things by them and Markay would teach him how to control the lycanthropy within him to better use its abilities. Markay was a powerful champion of his god, but he was tossed around by the other champions in the cult. There were four gods represented in the Storm Cult, Talos, Umberlee, Ixenkelt and Malar. Malar was at the bottom of this power structure and so was his champion. David continued with the cult for some years before having a vision himself, the first he had ever received by Malar, he wanted him to kill Markay and take his place. David was confused by the vision, but it seemed Markay had been given the same as the next time the two saw eachother, they fought. The battle was intense and difficult for David, but he eventually came out victorious over Markay who died knowing Malar had chosen a new champion. The cult accepted David as the new head of Malar, but he would now take the place as the punching bag of the cult. Especially by Kragith Stormborn, the head of Talos.
