Biography -

The Demonlands have always been at war, and everyone has a certainty that they will be affected by it, one way or another. Tarac was born an orphan, his mother died during birth, and his father had perished in battle a year earlier. This resulted in him being sent to a home, where he grew up a true patriot, since the orphanage stood in light of their Lord. The children that turned eighteen were happy to know they could join the army without the needed paper fill-out. Yet, as a youngster, Tarac saw no gain in becoming a soldier, so he took every free hour to write his essays on Magical forms and abilities, his most famous later would be his essay on the Black Dragon Magic that only three in the world possessed at once. Instead of doing as all his friends did, he created his way out of such a faith, being called on by Varamadras just when his need was greatest. Eighteen years old, and he was already good on his way to becoming important for the Demonic community.

Tarac became a teacher and tutor at Varamadras’ command, which gave him the opportunity to become close to the Lord of Demons. Their friendship grew easily, as his sad past was of effect on his leader. A few years later he was on his way to take a role much more important than he could have thought.

With a spot suddenly open among the Elite, Tarac was Varamadras’ first choice. He was twenty-five when he took upon his calling, and until now, he has properly held his station. His tasks are teaching new DracoMancers, and acting as their doctor when it comes to magical issues rather than physical pains. His knowledge is far reaching since he has access to the greatest library in the Fifth Gate, which is located in HagaFosiel, and knows how to use facts from old stories to help the Magicians of a new era in controlling their magic. Though he has no magic of his own, he is respected by most, his ability to solve problems has helped many Mancers. He also acts as a path of communication between Varamadras and his strongest leaders, including Se’ref Fveran in HagaFosiel. His loyalty is never questioned, he rose up under his master’s care, and deprives all his accomplishments from the chance that was given him.

Personality -

Tarac is a caring and friendly person, his teachings are well practiced, and he will do what lies in his powers to solve the problems of others, which are always magic based. He always tries to encourage others to go beyond what they know about their own abilities, never to give up. For the past few years he has lived in both Morto, where he teaches his students, and HagaFosiel, which has become his home. Traveling has made him able to expand what he knows, and he’s never afraid to go further. Most don’t expect him to be brave, since he has no power of his own, and his fighting skills have never been trained, since he got out of the war before he was ever in it. But friends like Varamadras and Se’ref will tell otherwise, Tarac’s advice in the council which he is part of being both modern and full of courage.

Tarac is friends with most of the Elite Mancers, as well as some younger ones. He knows all his students, their problems and their greatest abilities. According to his function, he is supposed to know the few that matter the most to the Demonlord. He’s close with Se’ref Fveran, Semiel Hyert, Loriente Seasel, and Bastivan Nowell, all who use the library in HagaFosiel often, which officially is now Tarac’ property. Years ago Tarac was brought an orphaned WoodElf, who he took under his wing. Until Deametis, the name of the girl, had been scanned and taken to Yartihn to be trained as a Mancer, she lived under his wing as his own daughter, and he still feels responsible for her.

Se’ref Fveran ❖ Living both in HagaFosiel, Se’ref and Tarac function as Varamadras’ main advisors, which they truthfully enjoy, even if they don’t often agree on things. They respect each other’s office, and share their knowledge over a warm cup of tea.

Deametis ❖ Tarac feels responsible for Deametis, ever since finding her and taking her under his care. She is not the perfect daughter, but he will always love her for the way she is. His father role is more to make sure she’s feeling alright and he does not tell her how to make her decisions.

Semiel Hyert ❖ Semiel is Tarac’s student and protégé, they meet up a lot so he can teach the young Black Dragon Magician all he needs to know about being a General, about leading armies, about how others have do this in the history of the Fifth Gate. They have special lessons, and Tarac believes fully in his skill.

Rast Grants ❖ New to Tarac’s library was for some time the young Rast Grants, who had come under his wing after deciding to switch loyalties to join the DracoMancers. They shared a love for books, and Tarac enjoyed how Rast was always looking for more knowledge and showed interest in everything thrown at him. He had however, never saw it coming that Rast was in fact a Knight of Jewantes, and a serious threat on his Demon Lord’s life.

❖ Se’ref is brilliant, loyal, and impulsive.

Biography -

Yartihn, and especially the Lord of Demons Varamadras, have been kind to a few unlucky souls like Se’ref since the war began–and they are given a chance to prove themselves worthy of tasks that were deemed above their standards and capabilities. Orphans like Tarac and misfits like Marius Thesus have been given the chance to become more than normal soldiers. Se’ref, a fallen soldier, was given a similar chance by Varamadras after he had been wounded during in battlefield outside of HagaFosiel. Se’ref was born in a small family, his older brother had died during the war, and he was to die as well. At twenty-four, though, he managed to get himself badly hit by a Fire Magician who burned off the skin on his right leg. He was saved by Loriente Seasel, whose group was sent to decide the fight.

He was brought back to Yartihn, badly wounded and on the brink of slipping off into the next world. Varamadras started to show an interest in the boy, sending his healers to take care of him, hoping that their abilities would be enough to save him. Se’ref lived, and during his period of rehabilitation, he was introduced to Misha Itaul, Varamadras’ only living sibling. The two started a romantic relationship, around the same time that the Demonlord came to the decision to make Se’ref the next Lord of HagaFosiel. The previous lord had vanished in a battle near the city, and the fallen soldier would forever be unable to fight, his leg had been hurt too badly to fully recover. To the Mancers and lords, his appointment led to general mistrust of the Demonlord, given Se'ref’s involvement with his sister. They will never mention their distrust to Varamadras, but their gazes are clear enough for Se’ref.

His fast rise to power had not gone unnoticed. He proved his instincts and brilliance in his early years as part of the government ever since Varamadras, together with Tarac, had named him adviser of the council during his rehabilitation. As Lord of HagaFosiel, he continued being useful, and defending the city and its neighboring towns and villages is his most impressive achievement to date. He’s called Varamadras’ little treasure.

Personality -

Se’ref was never very fond of the war, but his loyalty to Lord Varamadras is unquestionable, since there is so much he should be thankful for. As he took the chance to prove himself, other Mancers began to see their leader had not made the boy a lord without good reason. He has no magical ability, but his friendliness, and his ability to understand one’s pains when it comes to physical wounds, gave the Mancers reason to accept him. They are not very used to non-Magicians around, yet Tarac and Se’ref are exceptions. He takes the freedom from the fighting granted to him by his injury as a reason to do better around HagaFosiel, and make sure every defense is in order if the enemy should attack. He never asked to become the next Lord of HagaFosiel, but now that he is, he will do anything to keep it.

He loves Misha Itaul with all his heart. She’s the one person that tries to see everyone as the people they are, and not the way they behave as Mancers. According to him, Misha is the one reason Varamadras’ rebellion worked out. He’s good friends with Tarac, and through his work knows many of the Mancers around Yartihn. HagaFosiel is his home, and he is a good host to the Mancers that come around, talking to them at breakfast and making sure everything is to their wishes. He’s known to be very impulsive, which sometimes seems perfectly out of character because of his calm nature. Sometimes he has plans that he’ll insist have to be put in order immediately, which can be a bit confusing for others. 

Fate -

Survives the battle of Faum. 

Connections -

Misha Itaul ❖ Se’ref will never love another woman like he does Misha, or that’s what he’ll say. He loves her with his whole heart, and will try to spend every waking hour in her presence, though that hardly ever works out. He knows they both have important jobs, and he will go through hell to protect her. While always trying to be at her side, he will never openly discuss his love for her–he thinks the matters of the heart are private.

Varamadras Itaul ❖ Varamadras was the one who gave him his lordship and thus deserves his respect and loyalty. He does however have difficulty seeing Varamadras as his brother-in-law, even while he knows the bond between him and his fiancé is strong.

Tarac ❖ Tarac and Se’ref both like HagaFosiel best, they love their knowledge and high position. It is because of their duties that they are often in each other’s company, and while they mostly don’t agree on subjects, they have a kind love for one another.

Lukas Arcain ❖ Se’ref has been a friend to Lukas since he moved to HagaFosiel. They’ve known each other for a long time, and talk often outside of the Elite. They respect each other’s places among Varamadras’ best. Lukas himself is older than the Lord of HagaFosiel, but their relationship is much different, where Lukas as a medical advisor is often less aware of situations and acts younger in social matters, taking advise from the younger Demon where he can.
