Early Life

"???" - ???, ???

Before Adler was even born, his fate was decided for him; that as the personal servant to a green hag, deep within the Lurkwood. His mother, seeking to take power in her life after falling pregnant, made a deal with the witch known as Morgue Mucklebones, trading her child's life for the control she so desperately craved. Upon his birth, the nameless human boy was given to his new patron, to be raised under her care.

Though she treated him more as servant than son, Adler would grow up to have nothing short of adoration for the monstrous woman he knew only as "Mother Morgue." With age, his human form took shape into something far more horrifying, boney protrusions in the shape of twisted antlers growing through his skin across almost his entire body. His 'mother' would teach him how to disguise himself, to hide his tainted nature and take the form of a young man when dealing with people beyond their coven. For her, he would act as something of a liason, seeking out the needy and desperate who sought a witch's bargain, and leading them deep into the woodlands for her to make use of.

Driven by his desire to earn his mother's favor, most of Adler's youth was spent wandering the wilds for the weak and weary. It was one fateful meeting with a druid of the Circle of the Moon that would shape his future greatly - elderly and frail, the old woman taught to Adler all that she knew of the wilds and the ways of shapeshifting, in hopes that he would take her place as something of a guardian of the woodlands. Adler took her teachings strongly to heart, but, thanks to the teaching of Morgue, his good intentions slowly began to skew. His mentor, short-lived as she had been, had taught him about what it meant to keep the balance of life and death... his mother put those beliefs into action in a horrifying way. Purging those unworthy or unwilling, taking the parts needed for his master's rituals but leaving the rest to be reclaimed by the wilds, Adler would in time become Morgue's personal huntsman alongside his duties as an information-gatherer.
