Enki

Backstory

Enki was born with the soul of the enlightened, driving him to endlessly pursue new knowledge and uncover secrets beyond the reach of the ordinary. The fact that Enki and his twin sister were born from a lineage that had generations long connections to the occult only cemented his connection to the Enlightened soul. Enki's innate desire for knowledge became even more apparent at a young age when he was selected to become a dark priest. In keeping with the customs of occult ceremonies, Enki was compelled to engage in a deadly confrontation with his own sister, wielding ceremonial knives in a fight to the death. Enki's frail physique proved to be his downfall, as his sister swiftly gained the upper hand and held a blade to his throat, poised for the final strike. However, she chose to spare his life and lowered her weapon, stepping back from him while their supervising high priests looked on with perverse satisfaction.

Dark Priests

Enki's pilgrimage to becoming a dark priest led him on a solitary quest of discovery, traversing the western continent to study the occult arts, diverse deities, blood magic, and a multitude of sciences. His impressive achievements were recognized by the foremost scholars of his era, and he was granted entry to the prestigious great libraries of Rondon, renowned for their vast collection of historical and scientific knowledge. During his time at Rondon, Enki would immerse himself in his studies and acquire a great amount of knowledge, however he would end up becoming unsatisfied and frustrated, as he was unable to reach any sort of breakthrough. Eventually, Enki would come to the conclusion that he had reached his mortal limits, and he would volunteer himself as a religious sacrifice for Alll-mer, since he was unwilling to live an empty life any longer. As he lay on the cross, crucified by his fellow dark priests, Enki was given a vision by Nilvan, a vision about a prophesied man destined to usher in a new era of greatness for humanity. Frustrated and unwilling to let another bask in the glory of the gods, Enki ordered the priests to release him so that he could embark on a quest to uncover more about this prophesied figure. Eventually, Enki knew that this man, Le'garde, was being held captive in the dungeons of fear and hunger.
