Aeromancer Nikolas of the Wood

Nikolas was born in a small village, deep in The Fey. The only child of his Woodcutter father and Aeromancer mother. He grew up cutting wood with his father, while his mother fostered his nascent magical talents.

One clear spring day, when he was but a teenager, a motley crew traveling through The Carnival Pass came across Nikolas and his father harvesting wood. Wizard #7151 among them caught Nikolas’ eye and distracted him while the group murdered his father and then attacked the village. To defend the villagers, his mother used her powers to summon a devastating whirlwind, scattering the murderous pillagers and killing many of them.

Nikolas felt the atmospheric pressure drop and heard the rushing of the wind. He saw the darkened sky and knew immediately in his guts that his mother had summoned the whirlwind because something horrible had occurred. As he ran through The Fey, towards his village, he stumbled upon the slain body of his father. Weeping with rage and grief he continued onward and came across his mother, mortally wounded, amid the destruction of his village. She imparted on him her powers, a special Aeromancers’ spell, with her last dying breath, as he held her in his arms.

A dark cloud of anger colored his demeanor. The tragedy of that day never left him. Nikolas spent the next ten years roaming the world. He had sworn that he would not rest until he found Wizard #7151 and exact his vengeance. He developed his magic craft in solitude; he sustained himself by finding work as a wizard for hire, healing people, and assisting others with odd jobs.

While resting from travel outside The Infinity Well, he saw the Enchanter, from that fateful day, approach. Springing to action, he subdued her before she could react. When she realized who Nikolas was she pleaded her innocence. She explained that she had only recently joined the group that had attacked his village. She had genuinely liked Nikolas, it wasn’t some ploy to occupy his time. She swore a sacred oath tying her life to his and vowing to defend him until her dying breath. She recognized that Nikolas had deep untapped potential in his magic. She urged him to cultivate his skill and deepening his knowledge in spells and wizard craft by seeking guidance.

Together they made their way to the Blue Wizards Bastion. There, they settled down, had children, and Nikolas spent years being tutored, developing his skills; preparing for the time that was surely to come where they would be needed…
