The great grandson of Berren Basmarc, former 2nd Level Dreadlord and Swordsmandship Proctor of the Academy.

Proctor Basmarc would have gone down in Anirian history as one of the foremost skilled swordsman of all time. Holding accolades to his name from a wealth of victories during his career as a Dreadlord, Berren took up the role of Proctor in his late 40s after the death of his own former mentor at the request of the Academy Head. Infamous for carving his way across the landscape of Anirian enemies in his time, Berren met an unfortunate response from the deep Falwood during an Academy mission with his star students.

It was there he was waylaid by a Druidic curse that transformed him into a hideous beast, making him the very thing he'd always cursed those of the Falwood to be. A strange and bastardized form of lycanism, the disease is passed down to every male descendant born under a full moon via the curse.

Kilien is the second to inherit his great grandfather's ...gift.

Up until the revolution, Kilien had been raised among the Foresaken in the undercity beneath Vel Anir where he was primarily used for experimentation and as a target to train the Foresaken half-breeds on. After the Revolution at the age of 17, he was brought to the Academy after having his memory tampered with. While older than most in his year, Kilien has not the training nor experience to graduate with those of his own age group.

Kilien does not remember much of his life from before.
