Cenric Leian
Cenric was born to two fourth level Dreadlord parents. Seeming to be entirely unremarkable, both with minor gifts, Cenrics mother and father graduated using trickery rather than power. Gaining only the rank of Fourth, both settled in Vel Acan as researched. Studying various magical artifacts brought home to Vel Anir over the years.
It was through their work that the two met, and it was not long before they were wed. Just a few years later, Cenric was born.
Though he did not display any magic openly for quite some time, Cenric's upbringing was unusual compared to many other Dreadlords. His parents studied him, utilizing him almost as though he were a control subject. Both could tell that he had magical potential, but this ability simply had not manifested itself.
For years and years they poked and prodded at him. Attempting to teach him college magic, putting him in situations of immense pain and stress, even going so far as to inject him with poisons to bring forth his abilities.
It was only on the day of their reckoning that Cenric revealed his true magics however. Pushed two far by the relatively weak Dreadlords, the young boy, only the age of nine at the time, lashed out. Finding a use for his magic as he raged against his parents, taking them from his world, and finding within the morning...that their eyes had become his.
Shortly after, The Proctors came. Collecting the boy and bringing him to the Academy where he was trained alongside others. There his talents became widely known, and within a short time Cenric became not just one Initiate, but many within the class. Taking up the identities of his now dead classmates, and haunting those left behind. Easily graduating, Cenric found his place within the ranks of the Dreadlords quite easily. Swearing to House Virak, and taking on Erodin Valentos as his mentor.
It was there, within the Ghost General' grace, that Cenric found his first true acceptance.
Though their magics were founded in an entirely different basis of the magical spectrum, Cenric and Erodin formed an odd sort of bond. Both of them capable of forming bonds with that which was long gone, the recently graduated Initiate took to tutelage under his new mentor incredibly well. Quickly rising through the ranks of the Dreadlords and winning himself much acclaim.
This fame now follows him, though several years after graduation it is rare that anyone remembers his true face. The Dreadlord having taken so many bodies and stolen so many identities that even his classmates struggle to recall whom he once was.
During the Revolution, Cenric took the side of the Republic. Setting his considerable strength to defending the Virak Estate during the initial fighting, and then eventually going on to loyall serve the Republic as it began to establish itself. It is in fact rumored, that Cenric serves the Vigilite. His magics perfectly suited for the duties of a spy.
