    Jonathan Ravencloud

    He is a human male running away from his captors from Thay. As been abducted as a child by Thayvian wizards he hasn’t known much of his family nor friends. Working in numerous different jobs he became bitter and paranoid of the red wizards, hating them more than anything. First off as a child he used to clean up stables, laboratories kitchens and such and when he got older enough he was forced to mine minerals in local mine. Seemed like the wizards needed some ingredients as well as manual labour to do their dirty work.

    On that time his life was crushed, and the joy of life swept away like a biscuit in a hand of a halfling. Life was hard on him, and most of the nights he was crying rather than sleeping soundly as the work took toll on his body. Prisoners around the encampment weren’t allowed to speak whit one another but time to time they could have some decent conversations from fellow inmates.

    As the time went by, Jonathan started to gain some of his excitement of life by talking to a wise young man. His friends showed that life was more than the life he had experienced, that there was beautiful and exiting things in the world to be uncovered. They talked about gods, lifes meaning, knowledge and stories of elven and dwarven communities. Seemed like the young friend was exited to get as much knowledge as possible and he transported some of the excitement to Jonathan aswell. They started to do things together and eventually became trusted friends. Talking about getting out of their bondage they planned numerous nights different solutions and scams that would eventually lead to their freedom.

    But as Jonathan had bad luck in many things in his past, things where destined to go wrong again and again. Finally when all the schemes were done something happened that blew their mind totally. His friends.. or rather his brother as he used to call him was taken away by the wizards for certain experiments. It didn’t take long to figure it out that it was the end of his brother and whit out him and his charming personality some of the cons would turn under and all would be lost.

    Last thing Jonathan heard from his friend was that the experiment went completely wrong. As the guards of the encampment turned on rumours of horrifying death Jonathan was crushed into deep despair. And yet again he lost his will to fight back but not only that he become weak of fighting against oppressors and suspicious about people.

    One day there was a new call to the wizards quarters. Seemed that they needed some more subjects to the study, and as Jonathan had become more and more unefficient in the mine, he was perfect target. As he was brought to the test chamber where two wizards waited for him. They smiled evilly to him and started to explain the procedure to him for hoping of horror that Jonathan would come under. But as John had lost all hope already, the intimidation didn’t work as well as the wizards would have hoped and the final part would have to start.

    There was a coffin whit a body on it. The idea was to turn Jonathans emotions to nullify the hunger from the beast that would be resurrected from it. As the wizards knew that people would be easily controlled by fear they wanted to make undead army that would work as individuals whit fear of their masters. Chanting started and part of the emotions that Jonathan felt would be transported to the undead in the coffin.

    Unfortunatly being mainly numb at this point there wasn’t enough emotions to control the newly born beast and it started to run in havoc slaying the wizards. From this sight Jonathan was terrified, he had not seen any such gruesome deaths in his life and started to be afraid, and the beast started to fear aswell, numbing it and finally the spell went off as there was no more wizards to maintaining it.

    One of the guards went to investigate what was going on in the chamber and was shocked of the sight. Before him stood one Jonathan, whit bloody clothes and two thayvian wizards laying in the ground. This was Jonathans chance to bluff himself out and he successfully conned the guard to panic and ordered him to move John out of the encampment safely. Jonathan convinced the guard as being a powerful wizards and there would be no chance than obey his will. And so it happened that he was escorted as a prisoner out of the encampments borders into the freedom.

    Jonathan run as far as he could and didn’t look back for a long time. What he experienced was enough horror for one lifetime and he decided not to go through such situations again. As his closest friend, only friend that he ever had was vanished he felt real agony. What if he would have been the first to go into the test chamber and not his brother. The pain and selfpity started to swallow his personality as he marched across the land to a new world where he might find some new light that would to joy and happiness.
