Balthazar



Guardian of Light


An ominous-looking elnin with a gentle heart, who guides those lost in the forest.

Led astray by an ill-meaning fey during his childhood, he wandered lost in the dark woodlands and marshes of Eyre, unable to find his way home through perilously shifting miasma. It would be some time before he encountered a nest of three fledgling crows, under attack by an unspeakable horror: a hideous monster whispered to be the Nightmare Stag, whose voracious appetite knew no bounds. Paralyzed with dread, his newfound pomu barely managed to tug Balthazar and the two surviving crows to safety.

As a kittom, Balthazar was haunted by his failure to act that night and promised the crows he would protect them. In kind, the crows showed him how to scavenge the forest and survive. They became like brothers: growing, training and traveling together yet never leaving the forest's edge. Balthazar had seen the exit to the forest clearly several times since that fateful encounter, but felt bound to the woods.

If he were to leave, who would be left to stop the Nightmare Stag?

While he continued meeting many new faces and friends in his journey, one stood out from the rest. A chance encounter with another odd kittom, who called herself Indred. While her mannerisms were strange at first, she was lost in the gloom and he happily welcomed the company that she offered. In time they grew to support and rely on one another strongly, with Indred even teaching him how to read and write their own script- like a secret language all their own!

As seasons passed and their fondness grew, Balthazar came to learn something else.

He was in love.


Relations

Bond:
At first he wasn't sure what to make of Indred's bizarre drawings of the world around her, and the frightening way she depicted him. Together they braved the forest, supporting each other and forging a bond neither had quite expected as they grew.

Bond:
Easily the sibling Balthazar was most fond of, often accompanying Albi with learning about the customs of spirit-keeping and tending the graves. While waiting for her one evening, a strange shadow caught his attention from the forest's edge. He took up a lantern from her graveyard and vanished in search of it, but never returned.

Bond:
A timid faenin kittom who Balthazar remembers fondly, despite Lucius being terribly frightened of him when they first met.

Bond:
A faenin who was also lost in the dark in her youth. She seems bright at heart, despite the occasional chaotic outburst now and then.
