✦ Backstory:

Aurelis’s beginnings were complicated before he even took his first breath.

His mother, a healer respected in her community, turned to forbidden practices out of fear and desperation. She wanted protection, safety, something strong enough to shield her from the political dangers surrounding her. In her panic, she made a deal she didn’t fully understand, a promise tied to dark magic.

The result was Aurelis.

He was born with a peaceful, almost angelic appearance, but his mother didn’t survive the birth. The details were whispered quietly and never spoken in public. Those who were there simply said the child seemed “too calm,” “too still,” as if he understood the world the moment he arrived.

Growing up, Aurelis noticed early how differently he experienced emotions. He could mimic warmth and kindness easily, but he didn’t feel them the way others did. People trusted him quickly, shared their problems without hesitation, and he learned how easily their thoughts could be guided.

He wasn’t raised to be dangerous, he simply learned how natural it was for him to influence others.

By his late teens, he had gained a reputation as someone wise beyond his years. Officials wanted his advice, citizens sought his comfort, and the council offered him a position because of how composed and thoughtful he appeared.

Now, at twenty-two, Aurelis is seen as one of the most reliable figures in Lyrum. People depend on him. People trust him.

And Aurelis uses that trust quietly, carefully, without ever drawing attention to his intentions.

He doesn’t think of himself as evil. He simply does what feels natural, guiding people, shaping outcomes, and ensuring that life unfolds in ways that benefit him.

And most of the time, no one even notices.
