Requiem

Requiem is the son of the castle’s executioner and a witch. He doesn't know his parents as he never met his father and his mother left him on the stairs to the orphanage in town. Requiem grew up bitter and blamed his parents for his misfortune and poor upbringing.

In his adolescence he managed to get an apprenticeship at a local doctor’s office. Here he learned all he knows about medicine, potions and surgeries. Not long after he finished his apprenticeship the twilight arrived, making it really hard to find a job.

Requiem spent weeks with no work, living off leftovers from taverns. Growing more bitter, he wishes to help the sick slowly lessen each day. When it came to his attention that a plague was ravaging the city, he saw it as an opportunity to earn some money. This was hard however as he had to compete with other doctors trying to earn money as well.

One night Requiem encountered a disturbing creature, a shadowy figure with a bird skull head. At first it seemed reserved but then it started talking. He learned that this creature was the reason for the spreading plague. This lit something in Requiem's head.

They agreed to work together. Requiem would carry the plague creature around for it to spread and he himself would be able to steal the sick’s valuables. This way they both get what they want.
