She was on the verge of turning, but never fully did.Despite having his contract with Be'dhalia resolved, he feels a link to the tower within himself remaining... as if something beckoned him back, and it wasn't Be'dhalia.

Kreios Adran

Traits

✦ Practitioner of many magicks, master of none
✦ Prefers healing with necromancy
✦ Quick with his alchemy

Impish Saboteur

On the battlefield, Kreios arms himself with a tome, his alembic and (on occasion) a rod "gifted" to him by his contracted voidsent.Often times, Kreios will make use of his tome, a few tinctures and his trusty alembic to weaken his enemies and potentially leave quite the mark on them or heal his allies with ominous forces that one wouldn't use for healing.Sometimes, he carries a peculiar rod on his person, and from it emanates a force that shouldn't be messed with. Its appearances, however, are far and few in between and rumor has it even his clothing changes when he summons it. His son witnessed this and called him a "Magical Mess".

out of place and time

Kreios was "born" and raised in the Azim Steppe, cradled in his creator's arms as the portal behind them slammed shut. Both he and his maker--Quintus--successfully made a trip through time itself, albeit a failed attempt in Quintus' eyes.

They made it to a future that wasn't their own. There was no ongoing war between the differing Allagan factions. The land was note rife with controlled voidsent and foul magicks. It was... peaceful... at least in comparison to when they came from.

Somehow, by whatever stroke of luck, Quintus chanced upon the Ejinn tribe and convinced them to take both Kreios and him in. Quintus earned his keep, and as Kreios grew older, he followed suit. It had been a few years already. Kreios somewhat took after his maker in appearance--a white haired, scaled Miqo'te.

Soon enough, both creator and creation began travelling around Othard. They eventually ran into a researcher from Old Sharlayan who was also travelling with his daughter.
Over the next few years, conversations between both Quintus and said researcher would occur, leading to both Kreios and the researcher's daughter becoming students of Old Sharlayan. Before sending Kreios off, Quintus gifts Kreios an enchanted quill.

O' Sharlayan, Old Sharlayan

Another couple of years go by, Kreios' horns finally grew out and he would often glamour them to be invisible to avoid unwanted attention. He also became a research in Aetherology and alchemist, often taking trips between Thavnair and Old Sharlayan. Kreios fell in love with Be'dhalia, the aforementioned researcher's daughter. This love of his, however, did not last long.

Be'dhalia, while they were together, would slowly start to degrade Kreios, and so did those around her. It escalated to a point where Kreios himself decided to take a lengthy trip to New Sharlayan, to Idyllshire.

During his trip to Idyllshire, Kreios enters the Great Gubal Library against all better judgement. He runs into a tome that reacts to the enchanted quill his creator gave to him. By the time Kreios realized what was going on, it was too late. He had been forced into a contract with another being, one he didn't recognize all too much. A voidsent.

Upon returning to Old Sharlayan, Kreios was met with great disdain by most of his peers. Be'dhalia and her father accused Kreios of stealing others research and claiming it as his own, and word of said accusations had spread. Upon closer inspection, it was Kreios' work slightly done different. Once he realized this, Kreios would commit an act he would regret for a long time.

Kreios managed to corner both Be'dhalia and her father. He simply wanted to talk it out, yet the duo kept insisting he stole another's work and even went on to claim that it was their own work that Kreios stole. Fed up with their behavior, Kreios gave Be'dhalia an ultimatum; to tell everyone the truth, or to go along with her father. She chose the latter, and so Kreios tossed the pair into a voidgate--surrendering them to the Void. When he came to his senses, he fled to Vylbrand.

Kreios quickly made his mark and earned his keep at Reefside, despite drinking copious amounts of liquor after hours out of the pub's stock.

Glass, mug and tincture

His life in Vylbrand mostly consisted of him living in hiding, often losing himself to liquor and the events prior to his not-so-spectacular getaway. One day, wandering the Mist, he chances upon a green Au'ra. The green fellow introduced himself as Aban. From that point on, the two would occasionally meet up, help one another with various tasks; a sort of brotherhood forming between the two.

Eventually, Aban offered Kreios a mixologist position at a café and pub he and a few others planned on opening. Kreios quickly made his mark and earned his keep at Reefside, despite drinking copious amounts of liquor after hours out of the pub's stock.

brief history

After being chased out of the Othardian mountains due to the belief of Adahn being cursed, the Dayle family made their way to the Azim Steppe. It took them a while to acclimate to the Steppe life, mostly keeping to themselves and making trips between the Steppe and Kugane. Eventually the family started a florist and tea-making business, which Adahn would begin training to take over one day.
