Background:

Darvius was raised in a secluded monestary in the northern mountains. He was orphaned there shortly after his birth. Not an uncommon practice, as the north is a harsh enviroment and parents know that their children will be fed and trained inside the monestary with hope of a better life. He was trained from an early age to begin mastering his body and mind. The Old Order he was raised in did not focus their teachings around any specific god. Instead, on the philosophy of eternal truth and self perfection. While he was not the most physically strong or adept student at the monestary he showed at an early age an uncanny wisdom and insight into the world. He could percieve attacks before they came, and thus did not have to be the strongest or the fastest as he could simply not be there when the attacks arrived.

After fifty years of study his masters at the monestary awarded him the rank of Disciple and told him it was time for him to begin his master's training. This would mean his leaving the monestary and traveling the world, testing the skills he has learned and seeking out ways to improve himself through physical, mental, and spiritual trial. His quest has lead him to the Sword Coast and the constant battles and conflicts. He is not a peace maker nor a warmonger he is simply a man seeking his own truth by testing himself in battle, and in studying the world and it's mysteries.

Since reaching the Sword Coast, Darvius has undergone many trials. His physical body tested near every day against increasingly mighty foes. Just recently he traveled into the Serpent Hills and faced the serpent people there, as well as his first true dragon. His mind and philosophy is constantly put to the test by the many denizens of the sword coast, he has spent many a day depating philosophy and religion from Baulders Gate to the Candlekeep Library. Moreover, Darvius has traveled far beyond the Sword Coast into the Shadow Plane itself to seal a gate that endangered the entire coast, destiny seems to call him to great endeavors. Most recently he aided in stopping a threat to the Coast by a worshiper of Talona and her minions. Darvius' Trials have been many and his abilities have been honed and tested. He realizes that he is close to reaching his perfect self and surpassing the limitations of his mortal shell, at this point he will be a Master of the Order. Beyond that lies his future, one he has decided will likely revolve around the Sword Coast. He has found his home.
