Vidth
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Vidth was born in a small community of shifters within the Alleymaze. Living in povery in the shady part of Withering forced him to quickly learn how to not stand out in crowds op people and how to live a less than lawfull life. It was not that Vidth enjoyed this unlawfull lifestyle but it was the only way his community managed to survive.
One day a man too well looking to be from around the Alleymaze appears before the community and offers to take in 10 children and offer them a chance at a better life than to rot away in the Alleymaze. All he asked in return was for a favor for each child that he would take in. While this offer seemed to good to be true (spoiler, it was) they decided to agree and send Vidth along with 9 other children with the man who called himself Grace.
Vidth and the others were brought to a house in River's Low where Grace had employees take care of them, Grace obviously being from a more wealthy area. Life in this new home seemed pretty comfortable and everybody quickly got adjusted to a normal life. Grace came to visit from time to time to check up on the children. However after about a year Grace started to collect some of his favors. It started with forcing them to rever back to their Alleymaze days and commit small crimes without getting caught, with the more potent of the group being offered more of these ''jobs'' in return for a small salary. As years went on the crimes that were called in as favors grew increasingly more severe and serious, resulting in some of the members never returning from their trips.
Strange as it seemed, but after 10 years of living like this (Vidth being 20 at this point) they were told that they were free to live their own lives. However, there was still 1 favor to be called in, and if the time was right Grace would find them and call them in for it.
For a few years Vidth could live a normal life, he lived in a small house on the edge of River's Low, made some friends at the local tavern and even started dating the girl behind said taverns bar, Leanah.
After 6 years of living in freedom suddenly Grace showed up at his door and told him it was time for the last favor. He was taken back to their old home in River's Low where the 3 other ''children'' (Scry, Zitch and Nesh) who were still alive were already waiting. Sadly the last favor was a though one, which they should have expected as good things never come for free in Withering. The last favor was to sign a contract that meant that they would do Grace's dirty work when called for for the rest of their lives or untill a large sum of gold was paid. Naturally everybody wanted to decline this favor, however the threat of the eradication of their tribe back in the Alleymaze convinced them to honor the favor. After the toast that was held after signing of said contracts everybody got violently ill, as it turns out the toast was actually hunter's bane, dooming those who survived to become blood hunters. Scy and Zitch passed in the aftermath of consuming the potion, Nesh survived but she has not been seen since.
Consuming hunter's bane seemed to affect his Shifter blood, as Vidth lost control over his ability to shift on his own free will . Seeing Vidth succumbing to the potion and turning more and more into his primal bat form terrified Leanah so much that she severed all contact with him after waking up to him (involuntarily) shifting to his lycan form.
These days lives his life trying to save up money to support his tribe and hopefully save enough to buy of the contract.
As part of the contract Vidth has been send out on missions with the Ironfeet Expedition Corporation, which is where he met Ansgar Tyr on several expeditions whom he over time befriended over the interesting stories Ansgar had collected some of which intrigued him, others revealed to him new ways to track and/or fight both Fey and foe.
