A heretical cult of Zoltun was formed, focused solely on their gods aspect of trickery.  And what beings were trickier than demons?  The cult entered into study of the fiends, which lured them into darker rituals.  The Order of the Blinding Light, a militant arm of the Church of Zoltun, discovered the cult and attacked one night.  Most cultists fought back, though some were assigned to destroying any evidence of their plans, and at least one attempted to escape with a bundle.  She was killed by Sevatar, a Lythari Inquisitor, who discovered the bundle was actually an infant.  He brought it back to the temple and convinced the priests that it was their duty to raise the child.  Unfortunately, it was clear that the child was born from one of those darker rituals, as unswaddling him revealed two small horns on his head and a tail opposite.  They had already made their vow to raise it, but they didn’t have to like it.  As such, they named it Belorym, meaning “wretched one” in an ancient tongue.

  The priests continually reminded Belorym that his existence was an anathema and that the world would be better off without him.  In response, he continually sought to prove them wrong, as did everything he could to show he could be the opposite of his demonic heritage.  The other youngsters in the church saw how hard he tried to fit in and invented nonsensical colloquialisms, telling him that people loved when he used them.  They also told him that a really gaudy outfit that a travelling minstrel was wearing was extremely fashionable, so he started adding sequins to all of his outfits.  He became an acolyte for the church, striving continually to show how good he could be.  His chaotic nature, however, could not be tamed, especially once he found that he seemed to be able to draw power from the chaos and release it in the form of magic (though often the results were wild and unpredictable).  Despite his efforts to fit in, he would not have survived his childhood without the protection of Sevatar, who watched over the boy and kept him from serious harm.  While he idolized Sevatar, Belorym knew that he couldn’t always be around, but as he wasn’t the most athletic child, his main defense became his personality.  He found that if he could charm some strangers quickly enough that their innate prejudices against him were lessened.  And if that failed, he lied and came up with reasons for looking as he did other than being half-demon (when he had to – he learned how to disguise himself somewhat with a kit and even taught himself a spell of disguise, though he could never cover this pointed beard, or even cut it, as it grew back to its full length within a day).

  When he was older and being more intelligent than most, his duties as an acolyte gave him access to sensitive documents.  That led him to search for documents that he didn’t have access to.  Those he found hinted that heresy was much more widespread than had been revealed and that there was even corruption in the order itself.  He also found, and quickly stole, an ornate brooch of dwarven design which was annotated as having been found on him the night he was recovered from the cult.  No other information on the origin of the brooch or the meaning of the symbols engraved upon it were found.  Shortly thereafter, he and Sevatar left the temple ostensibly to seek out those who would harm the church.  In reality, they had decided that if even the church of Zoltun could be corrupted by evil forces in the world, then the world as a whole needed to be saved.

Voice Notes: Belorym is young (19) and incredibly ignorant of the world around him. He has no social filter and has a propensity towards the "fabulous". He and Sevatar have a close relationship, much like brothers do. But it's more like Lenny from "Of Mice and Men" kind of relationship. Belorym certainly doesn't appear to be the brains, but he is a powerful sorcerer that has a connection to the demonic. He continually tries to hide the fact that he has demon blood by using illusions/disguises quite often, and fears what will happen if people find out what his family heritage is.
