A Dark Beginning
{950 DR} The seed is planted. An Erinyes is brought into the Material Plane, and mated with the hapless mortal who summoned it in a strange ritual to Set. A dark bloodline was created as it coiled through the centuries, to the present....The Past
{1350 DR} Born in the arid lands of Mulhorand, Hasani was raised in the city of Maerlar, and as with many that reside in Mulhorand, Hasani was a slave. Too young to remember, he was separated from his Mulani parents as an infant. Bought by a master who thought it would serve his reputation to "civilize" a child that (in his eyes) had been marked by Set.
{1360 DR} As he grew and developed, the faint trace of fiendish blood in his veins gave him a violent streak and seeing that he would not be fit as a common servant, at the right age he was put into training with the intention of becoming a house guard for his master. While he took to the training well enough, it was clear he had an over-eagerness to shed blood and seemed to excel in his martial training.
{1366 DR} Hasani was used in arena fights. For both entertainment, and to win coin for his master. He excelled in this, fighting against other slaves and weaker animals. Hasani's big break came when he by sheer luck, had managed to secure a victory that won him enough coin to convince his Master to let him buy his own freedom. Hasani decided to leave Maerlar along the merchant caravans that often travelled through and made the long journey towards the capital of Skuld so he could begin his new life.
A small caravan welcomed him on their trek towards the capital city. His first real taste of how different he truly was, was made apparent when the caravanners tried to cut off his horns to sell as they had camped for the night. In a fury, he violently defended himself, shrouding the area with darkness and while he was just as blind in the darkness, he did not have the time to process such a power until it faded. Seeing the murder he had committed, he buried the bodies in the sand and took what goods he could carry before heading onwards. Alone. Processing that this was the first time (In his mind) he had truly taken a life outside of the arena.
Days later, he arrived in the grand city of Skuld, and he marveled at the large buildings and the sights of so many people. But the biggest amazement to him was seeing the Alamber Sea for the first time. He kept himself hidden, remembering what he had encountered and being in a new city, he did not wish to become a slave again. Hasani sold what goods he had stolen, to give him enough coin to pay for passage on a ship to leave Mulhorand and see the world. Keeping his heritage as hidden as he could...
{1368 DR} A long journey, Hasani has travelled far from his homelands and arrived in Luskan. From the Alamber Sea in Mulhorand, his journey took him through the Sea of Fallen Stars, past the Vilhon Reach, through the Lake of Steam, into the Shining Sea, and finally north of the Sea of Swords.
Luskan seemed a welcome respite, full of those escaping from their past and fighting their way day-to-day. His nature was revealed accidentally, and Hasani spent a hard life on the streets. Fighting, mugging, anything that would ensure survival. It was here that he learned what he was known by to other people, a "Tiefling". And this harsh lesson shaped his personality and views on survival of the fittest.
{1369 DR} By luck, he met the captain of a vessel,
The Seawolf after a tavern brawl, and found that the captain did not seem to shun or turn him away, but was eager to have someone of his skills on his ship. Hasani quickly learned that they were a crew of pirates, and felt as if he had a place now. It was through the crew that he learned of the goddess Beshaba, and how they made sure to give her praise, lest she curse their voyages. Hasani found small respite in this faith compared to the gods he had been raised with, seeing as the Maid of Misfortune was also worshiped by those who had been outcast or given bad luck in the world. And he was gifted a blade, a rapier, as a sign of his newfound "family".
{1372 DR} Hasani along with his crew have made a living pillaging small merchant ships and trading vessels. The crew relishing the fact of using one with fiendish blood to instill fear into those they crossed. Evading capture by those who wanted to try and bring them to justice and living a carefree (Yet selfish) life on the seas. That is until the fateful night a large storm seemed to appear. Lightning cracked, and the waters rocked the ship. The crew did their best to try and find their way back to land but the winds were too strong. The last Hasani saw was a great wave crash into the ship, and then darkness as he fell beneath the waters...
He awoke, drenched, confused, and lost in this new world, that he has now learned to be Barovia, and time will tell what is in store for him in the future...
