Grimmith Blackflame

Village of Silverkeep
Grimmith was born and raised in a small village in the plains of Eldham known as "Silverkeep". It was a little village based around a silver and copper mine that went deep into the earth. The town was independent, belonging to no nations and governing itself. Since everyone new each other, crime wasn't rampant, or there at all.

The Ravaging Fire
One day, Silverkeep was attacked by a neighboring town known as "Resigon". It was a small village like Silverkeep, but part of a big nation. Resigon could only trade home-grown food to get it's wealth, and wanted the silver and copper mine that Silverkeep had so it could gain more wealth. One of the citizens from Resigon invaded and set fire to the village under the cover of night, burning much of the it to the ground. While the town was scorched, Grim slept peacefully inside his house while it slowly crumbled around him. A burning support beam from the roof of his room fell and smashed down onto the left side of his face, badly injuring and burning him in the process. Grim was awoken and dragged to safety by his father, though his father had inhaled lethal amounts of smoke in the process. His father later died from the carbon monoxide poisoning in his lungs, leaving Grim and his mother devastated in his wake. His mother was later kidnapped by the still aggressive neighbors, though Grim has yet to see her and knows not of her fate, only having a small amount of hope that she is alive. He wears a concealing mask to cover his burned face, making sure no one can get a glimpse of his scar, which he sees as a sign of weakness and tragedy.

Turn To Banditry
After the loss of his family, he began exploring the nearby forests, as nature was the last place he believed he could find solace in. While exploring the dense thicket one day, he came across a group of three other young boys. Grim quickly befriended the group, and soon they began venturing through the forests together. None of the boys had ever really had a home nor parents to give them care, so they had to resort to theft to get the food and clothes they desperately needed to survive. As the group got older and older they grew more bitter towards the world for the unfair cards they had been dealt in life, and once the group was able to steal weapons and armor, they eventually chose to attack and pillage residents in towns they had once only stolen from.

Healing Of The Flesh, Loss Of A Soul
While raiding with his group of friends, an arrow was shot and was sent straight into an unarmored part of his right shoulder, seriously wounding him. Knowing he could bleed out from the wound, he retreated into the forests and ran from the townspeople who chased him. Once he was deep enough into the forest that the pursuers had given up the hunt, he decided to rest in a nearby cave he had found. He bandaged his wound and started a small fire, hoping to fall asleep and wait out the pain. While he rested he noticed a strange change in the atmosphere of the cave, like a wind had picked up even though he was deep underground. A shadowy figure rose from the fire as the winds grew harsher, and once the winds had grown so harsh that the fire was put out he was left in complete darkness. He found himself face-to-face with a pair of crimson red, glowing eyes, belonging to an underworld demon known as "Venandi".

The demon promised to heal his fatal wounds in return for using his mortal body as a vessel to control alongside Grim for the rest of his days, and though he was weary of the demon's offer, he figured he didn't have long to live and accepted the offer. To his surprise, he was healed back to full health within only a couple days, but he didn't see the world around him the same anymore, physically and mentally, the world was in a tint of red. He felt more aggressive towards everyone, the bloodlust of the demon filling his soul. Venandi used Grim's body to fulfill its twisted goals, goals that he hadn't expected to be used to achieve. The demon needed souls to survive, and Grim was consumed by the demon's need to kill, forcing him to need the souls just as much. Venandi could communicate with Grim by just thinking, as they now share the same mind. "The people you slay, and the souls you collect, will be my sustenance. Do not run out of them, otherwise you shall perish along side them, a much worse death than any mortal has ever bore." Grim put his head down onto his bag, realizing what his life will become. Days later he was able to track down his friends and return to him, though he was never the same. The demon within him urged him to slay his friends, but he did all he could to resist the need. During this time he was gifted a blade known as the "Soul Stealer" from Venandi, a blade crafted of a strange metal from the underworld. After weeks of this he left the group to keep himself from doing anything he would regret as he slowly molded to the demon's will, keeping his friends safe but isolating himself in the process. He developed a deep fear of caves due to his experience with the demon, making him stay aboveground almost all of the time.
