Cassius Naqam

Tiefling / Blood Hunter

Submitted character story

You are the hero who refuses to let fear define an entire people. The Blackfen tested you with rot and shadow, and you chose the hard ground because shortcuts are what guilty men take. Your mother's last act wasn't surrender but defiance, hiding you while the flames rose, and you carry that cupboard's darkness in every choice to speak first and cut second. The whip on your right hip tells the truth: part of you still wants to make them burn the way she did. They'll remember you as the tiefling who bled to rewrite what a tiefling could be.

Defining moment: My mother has awoken me. She hides me in the cupboard and tells me not to make a sound. Through a crack in the wall of the cupboard I see figures who demand where the demon is. She refuses to tell and begs to leave them in peace. She is bound on a spike and his burned alive. 

Though he has names to find, he wants to change the world's perspective on tieflings. Not all of them are evil.
