Belias Fenchurch grew up in the small town of Ridgewood just outside of (enter large city here). His mother died when due to complications with his brother's pregnancy and his father was away from the home for most of his life. They owned and ran a small library in the middle of town, yet for some reason their books were extremely popular with folks from the big city.

After his mother's death, a strange elven woman named Taera Alan came to take care of them. Given enough time, Belias came to reallize that Taera was someone who loved his father as deeply as his mother had. It was clear as day that this was a lover from his father's journeys away from home. She took over the household and the running of the library for a few years after that, until he was 13.

One night, she came into his room and simply told her that he would begin training in the morning. He didn't even acknowledge that she spoke, but when he awoke the next morning there was a weapon next to his bed, along with some light armor and a stack of books. Sunrise to sundown, every day they practiced swordplay. Every night, they read tomes, spellbooks, and historical adventures. Before bed, Belias would soak his hands in a bucket of water; they were raw from wielding the strange blade. Even as he grew better, he was still not able to land a single blow on Taera.

During the other times, he and Taera were like family. They would clean books, write, cook, and eat together. Taera always seemed to have money to run the library. She taught him the ways of war and knowledge, but he never knew what she got out of it. There was always a gleam in her eye, when he had done something right. One night, when he was 15, she entered his room and slipped under the covers with him. It was obvious that she had been crying, but she didn't say anything. Taera kissed him on the lips, sending shivers down his spine. It didn't stop at that, she undressed him and began caressing him in ways he had never been touched before. She whispered his fathers name as she took off her clothes.

When he woke, he was no longer a virgin. All trace of Taera living in their home was gone, she left him the sword, a suit of armor, the deed to the library, and a note, which read "Your father died 3 years ago... seek out (Nate/Ben/Gizmo's Character name here)."

From all his reading, Belias is fearful of being turned into an undead.
He also sends money home once a week to try and keep the library going.
One of the servants he pays, takes care of his baby brother.
It is unknown to him, but his Father and Mother were BOTH murdered.
