Delos Arismith

BIOGRAPHY: “The Fiddleback”, a name whispered in hushed tones across the Ersberg Kingdom, is a living legend in his own right. As the venerable eldest of the Arismith-Aristizàbal family, he stands as the embodiment of wisdom and resilience, earned through a life marred by profound tragedy.

Delos’s journey began amidst the shadowy confines of the Oarsmen cult, a secretive order, where he was molded into a lethal assassin, a hand of death serving the enigmatic King Fredrich Erz. His hands were trained in the art of dispensing death with cold, calculated precision, and his heart was shrouded in secrecy. To the unsuspecting masses, he was a masterful musician, a virtuoso of the fiddle, enchanting audiences with his haunting melodies, all the while concealing his dark occupation.

For years, Delos moved through life with a mechanical detachment, a servant of shadows and a harbinger of doom. It was during this time that he serendipitously encountered Lylla, a beacon of light in his otherwise shadowy world. Their love was swift and powerful, leading to marriage and the promise of a new life together. The anticipation of parenthood filled their hearts with hope and joy.

However, the grim truth about Delos’s double life came to light, shattering the idyllic dreams he and Lylla had woven together. In a desperate and heart-wrenching act, Lylla took matters into her own hands, extinguishing not only her life but that of their unborn child as well. Delos was left ravaged by grief and teetering on the precipice of madness. He sought refuge in the sacred texts of the Oarsmen cult, fervently searching for answers that could unravel the torment that had befallen him.

In the depths of his despair, Delos found solace in a revelation that would redefine his life’s purpose. He became convinced that the Spiders, including himself, had strayed from the true teachings of Haros, their god. Instead of maintaining a delicate balance, they had tilted the scales too far towards death and suffering. A renewed sense of clarity and purpose washed over him, compelling him to warn his family and the world of the dire consequences of their actions.

Even as the world around him descended into chaos during the cataclysmic “War That Shook the Earth,” Delos remained a steadfast beacon of reason and compassion. He emerged from the crucible of his past as a paragon of faith and redemption, using his unshakable belief in Haros to not only mend his own fractured soul but also to heal the wounds of the world.

Delos Arismith remains a voice of calm, a testament to the enduring power of redemption and transformation, and a living reminder that even the most broken hearts can mend and find their purpose in the service of a higher calling.
