He is passionate, and loyal to his friends, willing to put his life on the line to protect what he holds precious. He follows a personal code of conduct, which he hopes will keep him from succumbing to the darkness that fuels his powers.<br/><br/>Bio: Berach was born in Old Archades, the son of penniless and powerless once-nobles. Few even recall the Cathalan name these days; even when the house was in power, they were on the lowest rung of the aristocracy. An "heir to dust", as he calls himself, he nevertheless sought to better his life and find a place in the world where he belonged.<br/><br/>But he refused to join with any of the gangs, or to languish in itinerant labor. Despite his frail constitution, he struggled, for several years, in vain. Every time it seemed like he was getting somewhere, he invariably ran into trouble with whoever he was working with; because Berach, you see, drank in the stories of old. Knights, chivalry, honor, virtue; all of it. He yearned for such a bright life; a life he could not find in the decaying streets of Old Archades.<br/><br/>During one such altercation he had with a gang of thugs that he erroneously thought might be decent people, he nearly got himself killed. The fates are fickle, but not always unkind; as it so happened, a Dark Knight was passing through. He effortlessly dispatched the thugs, and pulled Berach up and onto his feet.<br/><br/>The Knight was searching; seeking. In thanks for his life, Berach offered to guide the knight. And as they walked, they talked; and as they talked, that anonymous knight saw something of a kindred spirit in Berach. Not true kin, no, not yet; but perhaps, one day, with just a bit of tutelage...<br/><br/>He learned what he could, but his inner Darkness pushed Berach in an opposite direction of his mentor. After making sure the youth hadn't lost his mind while grasping the power of the Abyss, they parted ways, each to walk their own road--and perhaps to one day meet again, and share their insights.
