Volos Rosya

Volos was born in Exaka, he was a seemingly normal human, though with albinism. He was found on the steps of an orphanage near the temple in the city’s center. Him and the other children would often sing choir and aid in the rituals, of which Volos was quickly acclimated to and attuned with. As he got older his Aasimar heritage became more obvious. His skin shimmered with prismatic rainbows even in dimly lit or dark rooms. His eyes shifted in iridescent colors and his innate spellcasting began to show more and more. He was shunned by jealous or disturbed and confused peers as much as he was reared and put on a pedestal by some of the temple and orphanage guardian figures. He was supposed to be a cleric, they wanted him to be a holy figure of virtue and righteousness to aid their troops someday but it never came. He was treated with more strict and cold ‘love’ as time went on. Everything he did was heavily policed and monitored, trying to beat him into being an infallible symbol. His mental state took a toll which manifested in dissociative episodes where he’d lash out, act uncharacteristically and even talk as someone else, often with foggy memories if any of it. Around 16, he ran away shortly before he was to be sent off to train and hone his skills. He wandered aimlessly for a time, trying to hide his face and features. Eventually falling in with a charlatan trickster who taught him the ways of roguish skills and arcane talents alongside them, how to use them to get what you want and not get caught. In this too he granted boons they’d fashion and attune over time to help. A mask of disguise, and a hat of holding, and his signature partner for cons and grifts.. A talking doll. Able to project his voice without needing to speak, it was a vassal for him to express himself and to project his more potent dissociative spells with, treating the puppet as that other side of himself to allow it to speak. He’s since established himself as a street magician of minor renown, more on presentation and charisma than the magic itself, hiding his real skills under the guise of lesser ability. All while still causing havoc to more influential and rich areas by robin-hooding their wealth and trinkets and treasures to give to the poor and less fortunate.
