Nephele’s paternal and maternal grandparents immigrated to the US, and being more cold tolerant settled in downeast Maine.

Nephele was given his name because he was born with leucism, causing him to not have much of his normal black and brown pigmentation, Nephele referring to clouds and mist.

Ell grew up in Portland, and in high school excelled in humanities, struggled in math some, and has a love for both social policy and natural sciences.

Nephele’s childhood was fairly uneventful.  His last years in high school he worked at Eastern Mountain Sports and as a ranger intern at Two Lights State Park.  Both of these honed his passion for working in backcountry and conservancy type jobs.

El makes friends fairly easily, and is passionate about people being treated justly and equitably. He has participated and helped organize several LGBTQIA and Sapients Rights rallies and protests, most recently in protest against the rising incidents of police targeting of LGBTQ individuals.

Currently Nephele is working with the Appalachian Mountain Club, working summers as part of the hut crews serving the handful of shelters / huts on the trails of the White Mountains, with his favorite being Lakes of the Clouds.

In the cold season he works in the visitor center in Pinkham Notch, typically in the gift shop as able as he attends classes at Plymouth State College toward a BS in Social Science.

Lastly, Nephele had the misfortune to attract the interest of a cute succubus in early sumer of 2020.  They met as she was hiking and staying the night at Lakes of the Clouds.  After evening dinner and cleanup she sought him out and chatted with him about working near Mount Washington, and as she said goodbye she kissed him on the cheek... and he was instantly consumed with an overwhelming desire to be with her.  Only his inate awkwardness around girls and the fairly open environment saved him... barely.  The night was absolute torture for him, and he didn't sleep a bit.  

The next day, he felt her watching him, smiling at him he felt.  She left on her way downtrail shortly after breakfast, and it was only when she was out of sight over Mount Eisenhower he began to burn less, and by evening was back to normal.

They met again a week later.  She had just started working at the WalMart between Berlin and Gorham, and he was there to get some new socks and a cutting board.  He again was overtaken by mad lust for her, which only eased before he left, but not before he, with an awkwardness that was awkward even by his standards, asked for an got her number.

The had dinner that evening at Mr. Pizza, and while he can't remember much of how or what happened exactly when for being so desire addled, but he ended up at her place, half naked and in her bed.  She was naked save for her panties, lying facing him.

Though nearly blind with desire, and with her seemingly interested in him, he had nothing to loose he thought, but he didn't want to take advantage of her (his thought)... he didn't want to just have sex with her because he felt horny... so - fucking - horny!!!  He wanted to get to know her first, and for her to know him, before he went any further.

So it was that Ell spent the night talking to a succubus, sharing their stories, dreams, fears, and opinions, both practically naked, but not having sex.

It saved his life.

He awkwardly left late in the morning, and felt the lust that consumed him ease with distance, but not as much as before... he really liked her and they had seemed to click in many way.  He found out they even shared the same birthday!  How fucking crazy is that!?

At the same time Az’gek was realizing she felt desire for him... she.. wanted to be with him again, to get to know him better as he seemed, while awkward as hell, a pretty cool guy.

Now, nearly a year later, they are engaged to be married in July.  And yes, they fuck each other's brains out with regularity.  The blinding lust he feels in her presence eased as he fell in love with her, but not completely.
