Morbosa House Backstory
Griffin was born into a family of Nobles known as the Morbosa household. The Morbosa House is not very well known seeing as all records of them have been forgotten in the ever-growing world of Rathnir. But when they were known, they were remembered for one notable reason. Their distinct genetic trait. Ever since the creation of the Morbosa House, there has been a critical error in their genetic code. With this flaw, the Morbosa House developed a genetic disease/disorder prone only to those of their descendance. This disease is known as Korrukt. With it's effects, the Morbosa family had barely survived with but 1 child at any given time. Any others would die to the illness whilst the eldest would live with the armour that protects them attached from birth. Unfortunately, since there is only one set of the armour in existence. The parent wearing the armour must pass it on to the child and let Korrukt take them whilst their child lives on. This is the flaw of the Morbosa Dynasty that has kept them and their influence in a forever-dwindling state.

Korrukt:
Korrukt is a "hereditary genetic disorder/disease" (or so it has been called.) that has been shown strictly in the descendants of the Morbosa Dynasty. Korrukt is a disorder that is looked down upon by all due to it's hideous symptoms. Korrukt manifests from birth and grows without hesitation over time. The symptoms include slow corruption and rotting of the body (and extremely rarely, the mind) from the top-down. Resulting in some of the most hideous creations, with withered, abyss black appendage. So far, there is only one way to halt the disease from growing more severe. The Morbosan Family Heirloom, The armour of Vitram. Without the armour, it only takes 16 years to kill a child of Morbosan heritage. That is if they do not wish to end their suffering sooner.

The Armour of Vitram:
The Armour of Vitram is a full silver plate knight's armour set with a pronounced purple crystal embedded into the centre of the breastplate, along with gold trims along the shoulders and knees. The Armour was forged by Vitram Morbosa. The first Morbosan to have been afflicted with Korrukt. It was made with the sole purpose of protecting the future generations of Morbosa house's heirs from the illness that afflicts their dynasty. Although, only one set of the armour was ever made. With the Armour of Vitram, the wearer's body can become immune to the effects of Korrukt for as long as the armour is in contact with the body part in which the wearer wants to be immune. Meaning if you wore the full set of armour from birth, you would be immune from the effects for as long as you wear it. Although, only one set of the armour was ever made. The armour also has the effect of conveniently morphing to the fit the size of the wearer. Apart from that, not much is known about the armour. Except that it's current wearer is Griffin Morbasa, and it's the only thing keeping the Morbosa family's dynasty and legacy alive. As well as the source that brought their family's downfall.

Early Childhood:
Griffin Morbosa was born into the Noble House of Morbosa 19 years ago to date. He was born as the second son of Markus Morbosa. (His Father). His older brother (Oscar Morbosa) was born 2 years before and was the eldest son and heir to the Morbosa House. As is tradition, He was granted The Armour Of Vitram from his Father and with it, he kept away Korrukt so he could be raised as the next head of the Household. Although, Griffin was ignored and cast aside due to his older brother having all the attention as the next heir to the House, he was loved dearly by his Older Brother. To him, he was the only one who cared for him in the world. Oscar would often comfort and play with Griffin when they were kids to distract and sooth the pain of being a child born to die. In his eyes his life wasn't so bad even with the sad reality of his situation. Although, that was short lived.

The kin-slayer

At the age of 5 years old. The Korrukt had almost completely withered the whole of his head, and so he would cover his head in bandages to save others from witnessing the horror that this child had become. With these changes to his appearance, an unexpected anomoly had arisen. Every night he would hear whispers and a voice in his head. It started with gentle yet sinister whispers caressing his mind with malicious intent. But gradually, as the voice grew louder. He began to ever so slightly make out what they were saying. Until one fateful night, he was able coverse with the voice. As he crawled into bed and laid snug under his covers the voice started to talk. At this point he was used to the voice's consistent mumbling. But to his shock. He was able to make out what it was saying. "Why is it that you cling onto the sad and pitiful life that you live and not end it now child?" The voice asked. To which an unpleasantly shocked Griffin replied, "No matter how pitiful or sad my life is, I wish to see it to the end." Upon ending this sentence the voice chuckled excitedly and spoke with a eerie tone. "I'll visit you tomorrow, my child" And left Griffin paralyzed stiff under his covers. He didn't get a wink of sleep that night. And was shaken to the core for the whole day. The words it spoke could not escape his mind. "sad and pitiful life" He whispered to himself as he looked at himself in the mirror, realising the meaning behind those words as he looked at his deceased face. The next night, the voice spoke once again. "How badly do you want to live? How badly do you want to see the world?" Expecting the voice, Griffin was not as startled as the previous night. But at the mention of asking how badly he wants to live, The torment and despair of his life comes flooding to the every inch of his mind and fuels a burning passion of hatred that boils with the intensity of the sun. He replies with, "I would do Anything to live"

The next morning Oscar Morbosa was found dead in his room. The cause of his death was supposedly a successful assassination. Little does the world know it was actually his very own younger brother. A 5 year old child. No one even suspected Griffin to be the cause of his assassination due to the fact he was only 5. But really, the voice simply guided him through every step and he followed the commands without hesitation. It was only the next day when Griffin realised what he had done. He was plunged into a state of despair and regret. His mind was scarred with the deepest of gouges that bled an ever-flowing river of perpetual madness. Although there was one great thing that Griffin gained from this despite his current state. Seeing as his big brother had been murdered, the armour was passed down to him. Halting the Korrukt from spreading any further than below his neck. (Thus Griffin's skin in game is shown having the armour fully covering his body whilst the head is exposed.) With this, he had achieved his first means of living beyond the boundaries that his illness had enforced upon him.
