Character Concept:
When it comes to Desmus and other Dfykas.you can see the difference very clearly. Not in appearance but in the way that he holds himself as he walks and the natural aura the he produces. He is very reserved and enjoys little things the world has to offer. He loves stories of ancient heroes fighting for glory. He strives to be like the barbarians of old fighting for he name in the songs of the bards and minstrel. He loved his family very dearly but is now searching for a new home with his people. He trys to hide it but an intense hurt and hatred Burns inside him with a sense of longing for an end to it.

History:
Desmus was born in 460AV to the Marridius pavilion of the Diamond Clan. He was the younger of three sons of the Hero,founder, and Patriarch of the pavilion Constantine Marridius. His his mother was unknown to him, his father frowned upon speaking of her only saying that she was his lost one. Desmus did not share a mother with his brothers but they were lways kind to him never leaving him out and always mentoring him in thing his father would not. His family had a long line of warrior poets. They began learning the art of swordsmanship as soon they could walk began learning how to spin epics before then. Desmus was no different, by the time of twelve he was already one of the most skilled swordsman in his pavilion easily beating those twice his age, and in
the nights he would listen to the old ones tell stories of days gone. At the age of twenty Desmus was loved and respected by all he knew. He surpassed all there even his brothers and they loved him more for it. If was then he met her. She made breath hot as fire and his blood cold as ice. Her name was Alea Alduin, she was the daughter of an old friend of Desmus' father. They agreed that on Constantine's death bed that she
would wed Desmus and unite the families, and from then on the two were lovers eternal. Years passed and the passing of Constantine hurt all but was also.joyed over by many as well. It was time for Desmus  Always now and take over the position of patriarch of the pavilion. It was traditional on the night of great celebration that the one being honored must go into the night and hunt for the pavilion so Desmus did with great pride. It was only on his way home did all his nightmares become reality. He rode hard into his home and it was there he saw the smoke and fire that would eternally haunt his every waking moment. Every man, woman, and child were slaughtered even his dear betrothed Alea. It took all night to calm the flames. He spent the next few days burning the bodies of his friends and family it was only on Aleas body did he hesitate to throw into the fire. There was nothing left here and no sign of who caused this. Desmus gathered his things and set off for the closest Drykas settlement he needed help.and only his people could do this now.

Raygar Marrudius:
Relation- Brother
Age- 55/Deceased
Bio- Raygar was only born a few years younger than Desmus. In his youth they were inseparable, but as they started to grow so did their differences. Raygar and Desmus were both unusual Drykas. They questioned their heritage and many times talked of
leaving, though it was only talk to Desmus, Raygar was serious. Raygar began to decline mentally and when Tarlok died and Desmus was named the future Patriarch he lost control. Upon his fathers death he hired men to dress like Syrillian knights, and during the night they set fire to the Pavilion and murdered everyone. He fled the Sea of Grass while everyone thought him dead too. Desmus spen years tracking down his family's killer. He finally caught him in sunberth, and the shock that it was his brother hurt him. The two dueled and Desmus was victorious, taking his brothers head.

Aela Alduin:
Relation- Finace
Age- 28/Deceased
Bio- Destined to be we'd to Desmus at a young age, Aela embraced her duty to her people. The more time she spent with Desmus however, the more she began to really love him. She was a stunning sight, so fair of a flower among the Drykas camps. She was Desmus' joy and he loved her eternal. When the camp was sacked by the Syrilas knight impostors she fought as a true Drykas. She perished at the camp where her body now rests.
