Callian Rudo, born in the Pagonia village near the mountains, his homeland was slaughtered by political issues from the kingdom beyond the mountains, Kalaanthi. As the village was known for its steady and zen philosophy that runs among villagers. Callian, like a normal child, was one of the children from Pagonia, as his father was a harvester while his mother worked at the market. He had only felt the sensation of pagonia only for a brief moment before chaos deemed into di village, slaugthering every villager as they meet, Callian doesn’t really remember, as his memories we’re fractured due to his head trauma as he was trying to ran away from the terror, he didn’t remember where his parents went, he just remembered that he was walking beyond the snowy forest, trailing down from the mountain as he lost conciousness due to blood lost and hypothermia, and woken up to be in a unfamiliar place and greeted by a woman with a red hair.

She looks like a noble, from her outfit and her mannerisms, she told herself as the “◻️◻️◻️◻️” and decided to adopt callian. A few burn marks on his face is also a sign of how he survived the slaughter, and may aswell be the noblemans mockery for not being pure blood nobles.

As he slowly grew, the woman that adopted her was Talene, as also one of the apostles of a deep underground syndicate, and callian was also trained very harshly to be a proper “assassin” for the syndicate. But more so, callian is also gifted of wisdom and knowledge,Talene usually gave him a day off training for him to roam over the library to read, as he also grew interested in wizarding and becoming a mage.

Talene added more training as he started getting interested in magic, Talene wasn't being soft with callian, to finally form him as ‘the masked haul’ and well known in the syndicate, Talene created a double life, callian the stepson of a noblewoman and the masked haul.
