Personal history
Lux """Reallastname" is a former mercenary from Baldur's Gate who left on a journey after the death of his grandfather nearly half a decade ago. When he turned 18, a pitch-black scar like markings manifested over his left eye along abilities which allows him to conjure the magics of a shadow sorcerer. Since birth, he has been ostracized because of his unknown lineage of his father which has caused him to usually distance himself from others. However, his grandfather who taught him the skills of a sword and lance and his mother who passed away when he was young has always supported him in his goal of finding a place where he belongs.
He left Baldur's Gate shortly after his Grandfather passed away but has hazy memories from before leaving his home and is missing nearly a year's worth of memories after starting his journey. After a year of mindless traveling, he met up with a group of mercenaries and joined up with them for about 4 years before the group split up after much of their members died in a fight against a terrible monster. All alone for a few months, a needle appeared on his arm which guided him to a castle in the north where he found the precious things he had lost, comrades who he could give his life to. For what is truly a few months but feels like a few years, he has been traveling alongside them, on journeys that go far beyond the realms mortals can comprehend, fighting and opposing dragons, demons, fiends and even gods.
Due to the markings on his face, he always wears a helmet to hide his face and has done so ever since he started adventuring. Currently, he wears armor made out of the scales of a shadow dragon that him and comrades defeated when traveling the dreaded plane of Shadowfell. His armor is dark-purple, helmet made in resemblance of a dragon's head which causes his glow a much deeper golden-yellow than usual. Although not in its former glory, he carries his grandfather's lance Rhongomyniad which came to him during a deadly battle within the Feywilds.
His grandfather was a former paladin that served a church within Baldur's Gate. Information regarding his father and mother is unknown to others besides that his mother passed away when he was young.Edit by Emma: Some information on Lux's mother has been revealed to the party after Lux was killed by Flordarious and got stuck in a looping vision of his mothers death. Approximate retelling is as follows:
Lux is seven years old. His mom and grandfather both say to not go past the river that that runs between their house and the nearby town. One rainy day, Lux crosses the bridge and sees the town. He bumps into a figure dressed as some kind of priest or cleric. The cleric is friendly at first and pats Lux on his head. The cleric feels a bump on Lux's head.
Fast forward several months.
The cleric visits Lux's home several months later and starts asking questions. Lux's grandfather turns him away, although we get the impression that the cleric recognizes the old man. Curious, Lux follows the cleric back into town. The cleric spots Lux and offers him candy to follow the cleric into the church. He asks Lux to take down his hood so that he can see the young boy's face. Lux does so, and the cleric ruffles his hair.
Lux realizes he can't remember the cleric's face when he looks away.
A few days pass.
Lux wanders in from the fields that his family tends to. His grandfather is away on business which is not unusual. That Lux cannot find his mother is very much so. Several hours later, when his mother has still not returned and cannot be found anywhere on the land his family owns, Lux heads into town. He smells a bonfire and sees that it's in front of the church.
His mother is in the fire, the burning being led by the cleric he spoke to earlier. The cleric says that Lux's mother is a heretic, engaging in marriage to a demon. The cleric spots Lux and points to him, saying to hold the demon spawn so that he can't interfere. Lux's mother tells him to run, and begs the cleric to let Lux go. Cleric expresses that he doesn't really care about Lux, but says that the mother has sinned and must be burned. Lux tries to fight his way through the crowd but fails.
His mother says "Lux it's okay. I love you."
The crowd pulls Lux away and binds Lux so he can't interfere. Lux fights and screams the whole 30 minutes it takes his mother to die. The crowd begins to kick Lux, but his grandfather has arrived and manages to pull Lux free as the young boy passes out.
Lux wakes up the next day with many broken bones, catching a vision of his mother as an angel. He tries to crawl out of bed, but his grandfather and uncle find him and put him back in bed. His uncle feeds him a healing potion.
Years pass. Lux heals, and heals angry. Eventually his grandfather gifts him his first sword and begins to train him. Frustrated with his slow pace, Lux begins to sneak out to watch other people train. His grandfather eventually finds out and confronts Lux about it, and angrily asks if Lux values his own life. Lux responds "No. I'm just a means of revenge."
His grandfather dies the next day.
Lux sinks into a catatonic state that lasts until he is nearly dead of dehydration. Eventually he goes out and sees the cleric across the river. Furious, Lux charges him. The cleric touches Lux's head and everything goes black.
