Alfa's History

Our story begins in the year of our Lord 1225 a.d. in the ancient realms.
On an early summer morn, in the ancient Realm of Linesia long before the rise of the Tsamus Mchagan( Once great ruler of the now descimated realm )
a child was born to the only surviving nobles still in this time of uphevil. there was no oddities about this man child, he was just like every other child, except he was born into wealth. His childhood was filled with many long hours with scholars
teaching him the ways of nobility, reding, math and of course history. As the young child grew older, his father hired the best swordsman in all the land to teach his son the art of war ( for these were times of many wars. ). The young lad learned quickly
how to wield many great weapons but, his favorite was a long sword resembling that of the asian katanas. he worked many long hours , and often late into the night perfecting his sword prowess. As the years went by, his abilities with weaponry was finely tuned and he even surpased his teacher. Now his father was so proud of his son , after his many years of training. his father boasted that no living creation could best his son on the field of combat. news of this boast finally made its way to the most feared of all creations . The Black Coven of the north. Hearing this boast infuriated the coven leader. he sent his best to defeat the young upstart. As night fell, the agent of the coven crept silently into the great manor of the noble family.

having studied the floor plans of the manor, the agent silently proceeded to the youths sleeping quarters. quietly he crept
into the room. spiyng the young man sleeping the agent continued with his mission. slowly he crept up to his target, his eyes fell upon the neck of the sleeping youth. now with one quick lunge he bit the young man on the neck. when he bit into the young mans neck, the horrible curse that had infected him also infected the young man. With the agents keen senses, he felt just how powerful the young man was. fearing that power, he quickly returned to the coven and reported upon his success and of what he had discovered to the leader of the coven.

feeling that something was array, the young mans father awoke and rushed into his sons room. Seeing the bite upon his only childs neck, knowing what this ment for his son, he sent the young man away praying the coven wouldn't catch wind of his whereabouts.

many years went by as the youth proceeded in his training. He knew he would never be able to visit his family again, this made him very angry. knowing that anger could hinder one in battle, he turned his anger into a part of his training. This part of his training sent him into aspects of combat his teacher never taught him. With his anger now used as a tool instead of a hinderance, he learned the darker side of warfare known as assassination. The aspect of assassination thrilled him as he delved deeper into his training.

some ten years passed as he excelled in the art of assassination, when news of the death of his parents reached him.
knowing that he couldn't set foot in the daylight hours, he planned for several months on how to extract revenge on the ones that had taken his parents lives. As he finallized the planning he reqalized that he knew not where this Black Coven was located. thus leaving him little choice but to travel the countryside by night to hunt them down.

after about twenty years he finally discovered the location of this Coven. his plan to enter the coven and kill their leader was sent into action. He approached one of the members seeking admitance into the coven. After being accepted into the coven, his first objective was to kill off the one that has strickened him with this curse that had befallen him.

as he mentally recalled the evening that he was attacked, the agent that had bitten him, unaware of who he was, approached him. knowing just by sheer instinct that this was the person that had bitten him the young man that to the coven was known only as Alfa, drew his sword and severed the head of the cause of his curse. After killing this coven member, he quickly hid the body and proceeded with his plan.

now the main objective to his plan was to gain the absolute trust of all the coven members, which was going very well. He took on every assassine assignment that was sent his way. never questioning or failing to accomplish his given task. He knew that this trust would take many years to completely encompass the entire coven, encluding the coven leader. for some 250 years he completed various assassinations for the coven, gaining their trust and respect all the while building a name for himself throughout the realm. many times he did side jobs to add to his reputation, such as one he would never forget, the killing of a young woman named Songliancha. this kill was a special kill to him for it was the first kill where he performed his now signature finishing move.

After that memorable kill his trust in the coven had assended him to the highest possible rank in the coven, the leaders second in command. now all this tokk over 300 years to accomplish, and when he finally got his oppertunity to exact his revenge he walked up behind the coven leader and removed his head as he watched the body fall to the floor quivering in a pool of the blackest blood ever seen. after he had killed him Alfa, a name he had grown to like, had the head mounted on a plaque like some trophy animals head.

Several years later, Alfa returned to the region that he once called home , only to find that a new empire had risen where his home once was. This new empire entreuged him. everywhere he went all he heard was the same name Tsamus McHagan
ruler of " Linesia " knowing he needed to aquire a form of cash flow, he desided to join the forces of the Linesian army.
explaining his curse to this unknown but caring ruler, he pledged his life to this realm. Within this realm he encountered a person from his ancient past an elf only known as Knight ElfMage. for it was Knight ElfMage's love that Alfa had killed those many years ago ( Songliancha ) but as usual where ever he went illwill followed. and the fall of Linesia came about now with no where to go he regressed into the dark dungeons of the rubble of the linesian castle. taking up resident in the dungeons he desided to enter a long slumber only hoping that his sleep would never end.

now 500 years after the fall of Linesia and almost 7000 years after his birth he is awakened by a new and very strange wind.
as he awakens he opens the coffin that he has called home for the last 500 years . rising out of his sleeping chamber, he wanders over to a table and donned his weapons of his former life knowing that it was now time that he made his name feared once again.
