Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Kreegan was born to country folk in the plains west of Atalatha, on Flamedays 12th<\/sup>, 957.\u00a0 His parents, Tessik and Elly, had a small farm, and were pleased to have a child around who could help them tend their home.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Adelia Kreegan was born.\u00a0 The two children were inseparable.\u00a0 They would often play among the countryside, investigating caves for treasure and imagining that they were great heroes.<\/p>\n

Before either of the children was very old, Michael was afflicted with a terrible illness.\u00a0 Neither of the parents thought that he would survive.\u00a0 Adelia watched over him though, and was present when Michael developed his uncontrollable precognition.\u00a0 The children kept his power a secret from their parents, worried that danger might befall them if the truth was known.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growing Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Michael was very young, Tessik would often talk about the city to the east.\u00a0 Atalatha was a city of gold, a city of wonders, according to the patriarch.\u00a0 In Nehr of 964, an invitation to the city was received by the Kreegans.\u00a0 Knowing that they would only have one opportunity to live like royalty, the family made plans to attend an event in Atalatha.<\/p>\n

Elly took the children south, to Viscosa, the capitol of Raleigh.\u00a0 There, they briefly met with Cedric Renzeya, the captain of Viscosa\u2019s guard.\u00a0 It was his influence that convinced Michael that he wanted to be a soldier.<\/p>\n

When they arrived home, the Kreegans had a carriage waiting for them.\u00a0 They traveled to Atalatha, where Michael formed fast friendships with David Garus and Alicia Mane.\u00a0 He also fell under the attention of Stephen Caista, a trained swordsman that served with the city\u2019s guard regiment.<\/p>\n

Unable to stave off the urge to swing a sword, Tessik began training his son in combat, as best he could.\u00a0 He was a farmer, however, and didn\u2019t have much experience to offer.\u00a0 Instead, he hired the swordmaster from Atalatha.\u00a0 Stephen and his younger brother, Zachariah, came to live with the Kreegans.\u00a0 Michael began his training under Stephen\u2019s watchful eye.<\/p>\n

When war broke out between Raleigh and Blacklehn, Tessik was drafted to the front lines.\u00a0 Stephen remained behind, continuing his training with Michael.<\/p>\n

In 972, Stephen convinced Michael to return to Atalatha to prepare and train for a gladiatorial contest later that year.<\/p>\n

Tessik arrived home from the war shortly after, but not without injury.\u00a0 The elder Kreegan\u2019s arm had been amputated.\u00a0 He returned with more grim news as well.\u00a0 Stephen had to take his place at Sentinel Pass.\u00a0 Both of the Caistas left the Kreegan home, leaving Tessik to take over his patriarchal duties.<\/p>\n

Together, father and son returned to Atalatha to enlist Michael in the gladiatorial combat that Stephen had prepared him for.\u00a0 Much to his regret, Michael lost the contest to his childhood friend, David Garus.\u00a0 Disappointed, the Kreegans returned to their farm.<\/p>\n

Becoming a Warrior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Becoming a Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Flamedays 12th<\/sup>, 974, Michael and his father set out to the west.\u00a0 Tessik told his son of a place called the Valley of Mists, where he would learn what it took to become a man.\u00a0 While there, he met with Cedric Renzeya once more, learning more facets of combat from him and his soldiers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Family Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the time spent in the Valley of Mists, Michael returned home, eager to tell his family of his experiences.\u00a0 When he arrived, however, he found his house burned to the ground.\u00a0 Try as he might, he could find no survivors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fostervilla and the events thereafter<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his moments of weakness, Michael decided to travel to Fostervilla, to see if his family had somehow ended up escaping there.\u00a0 When he arrived, penniless and broken-spirited, his life fell into even more disarray.\u00a0 Too poor to commit himself to decent lodging, he slept on the streets, avoiding the discerning eyes of the guards as best he could.\u00a0 He began stealing from people with the intention of giving them back their goods later.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Michael, he was discovered by members of a group called the Syndicate.\u00a0 Apprehended, he was given an ultimatum: Join their ranks or die.\u00a0 Opting to join the syndicate, Michael took on a new name, Kaos.\u00a0 Little did he realize at first, but the Syndicate was actually a guild of protectors of the city of Fostervilla.<\/p>\n

During his time among the guild, Kaos began finding himself on a balancing act within the city.\u00a0 A rebellion broke out, and he found himself caught on both sides.<\/p>\n

New Recruit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joining the Raleighn Army<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the massacre at Fostervilla, Kaos left the city.\u00a0 While some of his earlier whereabouts are unknown, he joined the Raleighn army with a wolf named Dirk at his side.\u00a0 He reconvened with Stephen Caista, who had been promoted to a general of Raleigh\u2019s army.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hunters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stephen recognized Kaos\u2019 skills as an individual, rather than a simple soldier, thanks to his training in the Syndicate.\u00a0 The general sent him on reconnaissance missions, and the two briefly planned on a foray into Blacklehn.<\/p>\n

Before the sojourn to Blacklehn, however, Kaos met Steel Tip, the ranger from the south, and the two quickly formed a friendship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The war against Blacklehn quickly deteriorated when the country of Ippius joined the fray. \u00a0\u00a0The island nation assisted Blacklehn with an addition of soldiers, as well as a fleet of airships.\u00a0 The war continued for three long years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the War<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the last airship fell, Ippius withdrew from the war.\u00a0 Without its ally, Blacklehn was forced to retreat.\u00a0 Kaos and Steel Tip took measures to repair some of the damages that had been done to the northern villages of Raleigh.\u00a0 Stephen\u2019s unit was decimated.\u00a0 Only his horse was found.<\/p>\n

Finally, Kaos returned home, ready to avenge the deaths of his family.<\/p>\n
