Personal history

Ananias was born of royal blood to Xertha (then prince) and Lythia Elendeer of Elenthia. When he and his twin sister, Elisha, turned 7 years of age, they left their kingdom for Vachelous to begin work as missionaries as is custom for the Elenthians. It was here that Ananias would eventually meet his best friend, Dr. Barney Beakerson. Ananias had stood up to the bullies harassing poor Beakerson and the two became fast friends. The pair grew up together, attended the same school, and when they came of age, decided to also attend the same University together. Before setting off, however, Ananias disappeared, having been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location, where he was tormented, brainwashed, and turned into a deadly assassin known as Mort de’ Ange; The Killer Angel. He was 15 at the time. Ten years later, Ananias would be sent on a mission to find his old friend, Dr. Beakerson, kill him and steal a small pouch containing rare power stones. It was on this mission that Ananias’s life would change once again. Beakerson had recognized the assassin and was able to help him regain enough of his memories to allow Ananias to remember who he was and bits of his past life. Horrified at what he had become, Ananias went into hiding for several months before having an encounter with Elyon. This encounter gave Ananias the strength he needed to move on with his life of redemption, knowing it could be possible to be forgiven even if he felt he didn’t deserve it. He joined a group of monks where he deepened his knowledge of Elyon while also helping those in need. It was a hard life at first, as not everyone were quick to forgive the former assassin. Ananias, though, stayed strong and eventually made a new name for himself among the monks. After serving as a monk for five years, Ananias would have an encounter with some new people who found themselves in a predicament at a local tavern with some ruffians. Ananias managed to calm the situation and this lead into forming a friendship with the newcomers that would take him on a journey he never expected to be a part of. Along the way, he would slowly regain more of his memories, including that of this family and heritage, develop new friendships and even finds himself to be guardian to a young Elfe.   Formative Memories: Meeting his best friend, Dr. Beakerson

Ananias thinks of him as a bit brash, but holds respect for the Kokkan after he killed his own sister so that she would teleport safely away from the Sanctified fortress.   Tovian: A former assassin as well, Ananias first met Tovian while planning to break into the occupied Sanctified fortress in Middle March. Ananias holds Tovian in high regards and considered him to be one of his best assets during the rescue mission.   Xkoll: One of the last surviving Viridians, Ananias and Xkoll were once enemies during the former's days as an assassin. They would eventually meet again in the forests of Glandoria, where Xkoll would learn of Ananias new life. The two would become friends, build tremendous respect for one another and Ananias would eventually consider Xkoll to be like a brother to him.   Simab: A comrade to Xkoll, whom Ananias once severely injured at one point. He was glad to see the rat had survived his injuries and was able to befriend him along with the rest of the Class Force.   Milo Burrows: A halfling Ananias met during the rescue mission. Ananias has grown fond of Milo over his time with him, especially after learning the halfling, along with a couple of other friends, had helped Ananias’s sister, Elisha, find her way to her brother where they were reunited for the first time in 15 years.   Guiscard: A knight from Vachelous who was taken prisoner by the Sanctified and whom Ananias led a mission to rescue.

She too was there for the rescue mission when Ananias had turned from his old life. Ananias became fond of the young Elfe as their friendship grew and set out to make amends with her after injuring her friend Simab during their first encounter by helping her to warn the kingdoms of Ashnuw of Pale’s return. During this time, Maki fell under his care, and Ananias would train her in combat and teach her the ways of Elyon.   Dr. Beakerson: Ananias’s best and oldest friend. The two met in Vachelous and have been friends for many years. It was Beakerson that helped Ananias to regain some of his memories so he could turn from his assassin ways and regain the life he had lost. Despite the doctors rather, odd, behavior and mannerisms, Ananias will always remain loyal to Dr. Beakerson, especially when he learned his friend had traveled outside of Vachelous for the first time and was now treading dangerous territory.   Elisha Elendeer: Ananias twin sister, who almost didn’t survive birth due to a heart condition, but lived through it and is stronger than ever. Elisha was devastated to learn of the disappearance of her brother, and even more so when she learned he had become an assassin. Elisha would never lose hope that her brother could be redeemed and would spend years looking for Ananias, until eventually finding him again after 15 years of searching.   Pierre: A young boy from Vachelous traveling with Ananias and his friends. Ananias isn’t entirely certain how he ended up with the group, and isn’t too pleased with the boys thieving ways, but Ananias tries to be patient with him and is hopeful Pierre will learn to be a better person who isn’t so terrified of everybody, doesn’t steal and has a heart for Elyon.   Gretchen: An older woman, whom Ananias isn’t very fond of for her constant negative attitude about life and people in general.
