Arios the Rose

Arios was born two hundred a seven years ago to human parents. Not much is known of his early years. In his twenties he was caught in the end of the Kingdom Wars and forced into slavery under the orcs. His time a slave was hard, as was to be expected. One night a mysterious figure came to the tribe that had owned Arios and slaughtered every orc, then freeing the slaves. Arios told the stranger that he had no home to return to, so the stranger took Arios in as a servant. He slowly taught Arios the arts of fencing and higher society. Before long, he was referring to Arios as "his rose". Amazed by how quickly Arios could learn, the stranger revealed to him that he was in fact a vampire and when he was turned he didn't have the normal disadvantages of being burn by the sun, harmed by running water, or having his soul twisted and corrupted. After some years of living with the stranger, who never revealed his true name, Arios finally asked him to turn him into a vampire. The stranger made a deal with Arios. He would turn him and grant him all his worldly possessions but, in return Arios had to grant the stranger a true death. After some more time, Arios agreed to this deal and began his own afterlife as "The Vampire in the Sun".
