History: Born in the small town of Koreal in the Irson province. He was born in the year 3000. At the age of 7, his father died in a war between the elves and the humans. Although the elves were victorios, Sethest did not find it a victory, mainly because his mother had already died in a fire when he was only 3 years old.

When ever someone tried to adopt him because it was too young to live on his own, he ran away into the forest and trained himself. On his 15th birthday he found a house in the forest. When he went to go to it he was attacked, using only his fists he defeating the attacker. Holding him down to the ground the man said "My name is Berald, I trained your father."

Following Berald home, Berald turned around and asked "Is it revenge you want?" Sethest nodded. "Then so be it, I will teach you what I know, follow me." Sethest followed the man to his house. When they arrived the man handed Sethest the bowstaff he has now, and told him "You are already stronger than me physically, but at a distance you are doomed." In question Sethest did not know what he ment considering he was handed a bowstaff.

Looking at the man, as he waved his arm past the staff, it began to bend and a string of Elven magic was formed making the staff into a bow. Then he handed Sethest a quiver, with only 5 arrows and said "You will practice with this... until you acheive prefection."

As told, Sethest practiced. His first shot was unusual, the arrow flew, he saw where it hit, but when he walked over to get it, it wasn't there. Double checking that he isn't seeing things he counted the arrows in his quiver, he counted 5. So thinking that he was imagining he had shot the arrow, he fired another, but this time, he watched the quiver with 4 arrows in it, instead of watching the flying arrow. Then he saw the arrow reappear with a small glint of light. To his suprise the arrows were returning.

After 2 years of practice, he went to Berald and showed his skills with the bow, to his approval, Berald brought him to his fathers grave. Reading the tablet he showed Sethest an incantation among elves. Reading it alloud, Sethest began to feel stronger. Not by much, but that kind of tingly feeling you get when you're exausted.

After several minutes of looking at his fathers grave, Berald began to walk back to the house, as Sethest followed Berald stopped half way to the house. "Shoot an arrow over there" said Berald, pointing towards a tree at a fair distance away in the forest. To his suprise after he fired the arrow he realized it had an ember colored shine, he hit the tree directly and it burst into flames.

Not questioning Berald he continued to walk the rest of the way to the house without saying a word. When they arrived Berald looked at Sethest and said "Why did you follow me home, I have taught you all I can, I think it is time for you to go on your own." Turning around and opening the door, he looked over his shoulder and said "Thank you" and left.

Berald suprised that Sethest had said something, he walked outside with the intension to say goodbye, but Sethest was no where to be seen.

After training by himself for 6 years he began to attack human encampments periodically. On his return to a small area in the forest that he is keeping as his home for the time being, after talking 7 human lives, A shadow lunged at him, with a quick ice arrow he tried to freeze the shadow. The arrow went through the shadow and he was hit with a suprisingly forceful blow, he jumped backwards, ran up a tree and shot a poison arrow at the small creature but it also went through it.

Realising that shooting it with arrows wasn't getting him anywhere, he shot a icearrow making a small block on the ground and then fired a fire arrow, following the arrow down he jumped at the block of ice, and when the fire arrow collided with the block of ice it created a geizer of water which he dived into to prevent him from being injured from the fall.

After that he ran up to the small creature and tried to hit it with the bowstaff with a quick swing from the left, it went through the creature, realizing he cant do anything to the creature, he tried to run to get away to get more distance for fireing arrows, but creature was too fast, it tackled Sethest the to ground.

Then it opened the ground beneath Sethest and he fell thought a portal into a forest, looking around, the creature was nowhere to be seen. He looked around again and still felt at home because it was still his type of landscape.
