History: A long time ago, there was a young boy named Felix. Felix was born in the Poor district of Cumberland, one of the City states in the Free Marches. He had many older siblings who were predominately cruel to him, save one. His elder sister Penelope. She was always so kind to him and she was the only one whoever played with him. Felix was the runt and Penelope was born blind, so they were both the outcasts. Even though his family was dirt poor, Felix was happy.
One day, when he was six, he and Penelope were playing in the streets, when a carriage came racing around the corner. Penelope couldn't see it and it was about to hit her. Felix charged out in front of it and screamed "STOP!" with both his arms raised and eyes closed. He waited for it to hit him....but it didn't. He opened his eyes to see that he had somehow blasted it away with an invisible force. 2 days later, the Templars came for him. Penelope tried ti fight them off, so did Felix, but it was pointless. They carried him away on their backs. He was screaming for Penelope, and she screamed for him. He hasn't seen her since that day.
Growing up in the Circle of Magi was pretty horrible. Abused and monitored every waking moment. Always being watched by people who looking for an excuse to kill you. It was a Nightmare. But, he found some solace in two people he could call friend. His Master Damian Grimoire and an Elven girl named Yara. They often ate meals together, discussed history and different theories of magic. They talked about Circle politics and different ways they could annoy the Templars. Thick as Thieves they were. Though.....we all know what thieves would do to their best friends in a bad situation.
One day, Damian told Felix to meet him and Yara in the lower deeps of the Circle. He said they had something wonderful to show him. When he got down there, someone had hit him over the head. When he woke up, he was strapped naked to a stone slab with a large swirling vortex in front of him. Damian and Yara were there too, wearing dark robes. It was obvious from her glazed eyes that Yara was being controlled to serve Damian. It turns out that Damian was a blood mage and that Felix was a prime candidate for his next and final experiment.
Damian wanted to create a creature that was part mage and part demon. An abomination was too hard to control and they were entirely too destructive. They were just mages possessed by demons. He wanted to create something that actually was part demon. Damian put Felix through what seemed like weeks of agony and torment, sticking things into him and taking things out, all while forced to stare into that void.
Finally, Damian succeeded and Felix was no longer recognizable as human, nor did he look like a typical Abomination, he was.......something else. Damian told him that he now had the power to help him destroy the Templars and end the suffering of Mages. Felix agreed to help him and Damian freed him. Without a seconds hesitation, the moment he was free, he killed Damian. With him dead, the control over Yara was freed. But the strain from being manipulated to long was too much for her body and she died not too long later.
It was at that moment when the Templars busted in and to see the hideous monster that was now Felix and two dead at his feet. They tried to capture and kill him, but with his new abilities he escaped and ran.
H didn't stop running until he crossed the sea and got to Fereldan, were he dawned a mask and a new identity. He now mostly makes his living raiding bandit camps, hiding magical children from Templars and banishing Demons from the bodies of mages. You see, his new body is part Demon and part Mage. Half in the living world and half in the Fade. He can enter the Fade any time he wants or partly enter it. He can also leave any time he wants. So not to scare people, he wears an outfit that covers every inch of his skin. The only hint of his demonic appearance are his unnatural eyes staring at you from beneath his mask.
Personality: Though a hooded and masked man, he speaks more often then one would imagine. Though still rather young, through his transformation he has gathered a large amount of wisdom and knowledge and is oft times the voice of reason in the party. He offers strategies, sage advice, and on occasion, a large wake up call to the members who aren't taking their task seriously. He likes to be a comfort to the party, trying to make them feel they can share anything with him and he wouldn't, or rather couldn't, judge. Does this mean he cannot have a good time? No! He used to be very sarcastic and jovial before his transformation, and parts of his old self do poke through.
Raid gives off the demeanor that he wears his outfit and mask for the sake of other people instead of himself. Though he may say such things, he himself is very afraid of people seeing his face, he is a bit disgusted with what he has become and it is hard for him to accept it. He doesn't really like people staring at him for too long or people going anywhere near his mask. He won't even tell anyone his real name, just addressing himself as Raid the Apostate. He feels that if he accepts himself, he also would have to accept the demonic blood that now courses through his veins.
He seems incredibly polite but not in a normal sense, more in a good neighbor sense. He almost always speaks respectfully to someone, no matter who they are. He seems to almost always take a neutral stance, or rather, a rational stance when it comes to situations....save for ones dealing with Maleficar, he seems to hold a deep hatred to those who practice the forbidden arts of magic. He also takes a stand against oppression of any kind, whether it is for the greater good or not. Thus he also has a deep respect and love for the elves and their culture. Having been raised with a Dhalish girl who was captured in the Highlands near Cumberland, he can speak fluently in Dhalish and has great understanding of their Gods and customs. In fact, he prefers them over his original beliefs of the Maker.
He has an odd ability to see which negative aspect any one person represents within themselves. If he were to look at an unreasonable employer, he might see greed, a stubborn warrior, pride and so on and so forth. He can use these faults to his own advantage and manipulate people through them.....though if their sin is Lust, he usually just leaves it to Ryuukasu.
