Ike is a gentle akriri. He lived far away from Giant Thicket before he learned his older brother had gone corrupt and settled down in the dark forest. The little folk had always been frightened by the corrupt, hearing horrible stories of the devestation a corruption would bring, and what a slow, painful death it would be if the akriri was tainted far beyond rescue. Fearing for his brothers life, he packed only what he needed and rushed to the casting shadows of the thorn-filled woodlands. As Ike arrived in the village, he hastily asked around for his brother, but the description he asked for did not match what the villagers of the Thicket had seen. The once outgoing, smiling and handsome brother had now turned into a devestated, frightened and silent folk who would shy away from anyone trying to get in touch with him. Ike wouldn't believe the villagers words, but as he saw the shadow of his brother, closing in, he saw magic flowing through cracks in his skull, his wings torn apart, only held together by ghostly looking hands, a never-ending tired expression, almost at the verge of tears... his brother Vladimir had become corrupt, far beyond the possibility of rescue. Heartbroken, Ike ran into his brothers arms, handing him a promise of a worthy and joyful life for as long as it would be possible. Vlad refused to answer Ike's question of how he became like so, and has yet to speak of it. Ike, beeing an understanding folk, never pushed the subject again. His only focus would be to continue his brothers tailor work, learning his ways and make sure Vlad had the best of days he could possibly have before death would catch up to him. They now reside in Giant Thicket together, and spend almost every hour together. There are only a few exceptions when Vlad is in need of some time alone. Perhaps he only wishes to spare his little brother of his more painful moments..
