An ambitious mage hailing from the prestigious Alcea Academy, Jolon was a top student, graduating with honors, and was heavily praised by his mentor, a man named Etienne. In the years following his graduation, however, Jolon felt...adrift. Even at the top of his class, the power he sought eluded him. Though his mentor often advised for him to simply enjoy life, Jolon could not let things be. He traveled, seeking more and more power - and eventually found it, discovering the power to rip through the seams of reality. Opening void gates wherever he saw fit, Jolon relished in the chaos...

...only to be apprehended by Etienne. In reality, his mentor was a powerful onyx dragon named Hellebore, the guardian of the continent - but Hellebore, just like his fellow dragonkin, could not find it in him to kill his student, a human he had sworn to protect. Harvesting his teacher's gem core, Jolon felt it - the power he sought was closer now, empowered by the heart of a dragon. He set to work, attempting to merge himself with the core - but simply could not surpass the limits of his physical form. As he researched, years passed - and though his form began to warp, he grew no closer to his goals. One day, a new stranger approached - a woman who immediately attempted to kill him, and though Jolon easily dispatched her, something changed irrevocably due to the link he shared with Hellebore's gem core. Jolon inexplicably grew obsessed with reviving the woman, turning to forbidden dark magic to do so. 21 years prior, he finally achieved success - and though this sated part of him, Jolon's obsession turned in a different direction. Perhaps if he could not achieve the state he wanted in his current form, he could create something that could reach perfection.

He cared little for his first creation, deeming them useless towards his goals - but could not find it in him to kill them, reasoning their life was valuable. Instead, Jolon set to creating the perfect life form, one that unified natural magic and learned magic. 10 years ago, he reached a breakthrough, leaving the child to be raised by his first creation - until one day, both of them disappeared...
