History

Brakanar, a male tiefling warlock has some of his infernal characteristics, such as his skin is a deep shade of red. His eyes lightly glow a light yellow with regular human middles. He has small, curved horns that protrude from his forehead, and his pointed ears and almost pure coal black hair. He dresses in a dark red and blue robe that is adorned with an intricate pattern that is related to his craft. Under the robe he wears leather armor and on his head he wears an old looking floppy hat that looks very worn. He carries a rob on his left side and a dagger on his right. His fingers has a few rings, with only one being magical, the others are for decoration, so to speak.

His demeanor is a little quiet and mysterious, as he guards his secrets the best he can and rarely looks to other for counsel if and when needed. Brakanar is somewhat cunning and always tries to find certain ways to get out of certain situations with using his mind rather than force. He was at one time haunted by the demons that lurk within him, but thanks to his patron, a Dao, he was able to maintain his sanity and resist their corrupting influence. Overall, Brakanar is a complex character, driven by a urge for power and knowledge, but also burdened by his own dark heritage and the secrets that he at one time carried.

During his time at the Lost Library, he gave up 27 years of memories to be able to find out the name of the person/being that checked out the book on an infamous dragon named Ferademius. In this book, the complete history of Ferademius was written, likes, dislike, strengths and weaknesses. The person/being that checked out the book for 1,000 years is named Audoen Dewfoot, odd name, but he will try to find out some information about this person/being before the final showdown with Ferademius.

(Some Lost history of Brakanar that you may find in the Lost Library)

Below are some of the memories that was lost and that are currently in the Lost Library that was given up by Brakanar:

Starting with his family listed below:

Mother - Sath'tez was a kind and gentle tiefling, who had always encouraged Brakanar to explore his innate magical abilities. She was an expert in herbalism and alchemy, and had tried to teach him everything they knew about potion-making. Unfortunetly he never really caught on and thus, forgot just about everything she tried to teach him. Brakanar vaguely remembers his mother's soothing voice, and how she would always be there to comfort him when he was scared or sad.

Father - Mag'thoth was a stern but caring tiefling, who had taught Brakanar everything he knew about combat and warfare. He had trained Brakanar in the arcane arts, and was always pushing him to become stronger and more skilled. Brakanar remembers his father's booming voice, and how he would always tell them stories about legendary battles and heroes.

Sister - Suzgul was a younger sister who was very close to Brakanar. She was also a tiefling, but had a more mischievous and adventurous spirit than he did. They would often sneak out of the house together to explore the nearby forests and caves. Brakanar remembers his sister's playful laughter and the way she would tease him. One day while playing in a nearby cave, an earthquake struck the area which caused  widespread destruction and loss of life, including his sister and the cave collasped, killing Suzgul and almost killing Brakanr in the process. Her passing left a lasting impact on the family and the surrounding community.

Brother - Azar was a bit more less reserved than the rest of the family. He was also a tiefling, but had a more scholarly and intellectual demeanor. He was always reading books and studying the ways of death and destruction. Brakanar remembers his brother's teaching and how he would bully him with this magic when he was struggling and trying to forget about Suzgul's death. Azar would always taunt and laugh about the incident and say that he would bring her back as an undead and have her chase and hurt people.

His parents would  honor Suzgul's memory by creating a small memorial in her name. They would often participate in activities or events that their daughter enjoyed or were important to her. They would try to find meaning in Suzgul's passing by volunteering or advocating for causes related to the circumstances of her death. Example: re-inforcing nearby caves and homes to help withstand any future earthquakes. They also took time to grieve their daughter's passing, which included taking time off from work or other responsibilities. They took time to create a space to remember Suzgul. This included a small place in the home that Suzgul loved to hide in when feeling depressed and lonely. A small row of candles was placed there and one was lit every weekend to show that everyone still missed her.

Here are 10 forgotten instances that helped turn them from somewhat evil to following a path of good:

Saving a Child's life - Brakanar once found himselve in a position to save the life of a young child who was in danger. he risked his own safety to protect the child and was successful in rescuing the child. This experience opened his eyes to the value of life and sparked a sense of responsibility to protect those who are vulnerable, especially the young and the very old.

The kindness from an unknown person - Once, while Brakanar was traveling, he encountered a stranger who showed him kindness and hospitality, forgoing his demonic appearance, with free lodging and food. This simple act of generosity made Brakanar realize that there are good people in the world and that he could choose to be one of the nood ones, instead of one of the bad ones.

Being Betrayed by a former ally - Brakanar once trusted someone who betrayed him, causing him great pain and suffering. This experience made him realize the importance of loyalty and honor, and motivated him to be a person of integrity. To keep any promise that he makes and to be loyal to those who deserve it.

Helping a Stranger in Need - Brakanar once encountered a stranger, a lawful good cleric, who was in dire need of help due to being injured in an ambush. Remembering the kindness of the pre-mentioned stranger, he selflessly offered his assistance. This experience showed him the joy of helping others and inspired  him to seek out opportunities to do good.

Witnessing an act of cruelty - Brakanar once witnessed an act of cruelty to a group of children that deeply disturbed him. The persons involved were from the so called watch of the area, ment to help those in need but took it to heart to use their power for self gain. This experience made him realize that hs did not want to be associated with this kind of evil or harmful behavior toward the helpless.

Developing a Friendship - Brakanar formed a strong bond with a human female, Saliene - Rogue, who showed them the value of trust and companionship. This experience made them realize that they wanted to be someone that people could rely on.

Forgiving an enemy - Brakanar once had an enemy, elf male cleric named Vaalyun Magnelis, who he harbored great resentment towards. However, after a personal revelation, he found it in his heart to forgive his enemy, which freed hi, from the weight of his anger and allowed him to move on.

Standing up for what he believes in - Brakanar once found himselve in a situation where he had to stand up for what he believed in, helping and protecting the very old, even when it meant going against others that he was associated with at the time. This experience taught him the importance of having convictions and standing by them, even in very difficult circumstances.

Saving a friend - Brakanar once had to save a fellow adventurer friend from a dangerous situation, a pit trap that had oze and spikes at the bottom. This required him to put himself in harm's way. This experience showed him the strength of his own courage and made him realize that he were capable of great selflessness and bravery when the need arrives.

The main strong instance that made Brakanar shift from the evil path to good could be a significant act of kindness and  compassion from a Elf mage named Rohan Farbella. Brakanar had previously considered this person as an enemy for many reasons, the main one was that he challenged his previously held beliefs or motivations for his actions. It made him reflect on his past behaviors and reconsider his approach to life. This realization was a major turning point for Brakanar, leading him to strive to make amends for his past actions and work towards a more positive future for everyone that he comes across.

Here are 5 of the most painful memories that were lost:

The rejection and isolation Brakanar felt from many of a towns community that he crossed through on his travels because of his physical appearance and otherworldly aura. Many places wanted to kill him or just run him off without really getting to know him and what he was about. Even when he would help, many would see it as a ruse to get them to lower their guard so he could take control of them and enslave them.

The guilt and regret Brakanr felt over making his pact with the Dao and the toll it took on his soul and the lives of others. This was very painful but it also lead to great power.

The betrayal and loss Brakanar experienced when a fellow adventurer they trusted revealed they were working for the Dao all along, leading to a confrontation that left Brakanar injured and doubting their own judgment.

The fear and desperation Brakanar felt as he struggled to resist the Dao's constant influence and control over his mind and actions, even as he gained more power. This was a constant struggle and very taxing on his health and mental stability.

The pain and grief Brakanar experienced when he had to make difficult choices and sacrifices in order to break free from the Dao's hold and regain control over his own destiny, leaving him with emotional scars and a lingering sense of darkness.

The 5 most memorable memories lost:

The moment Brakanar discovered the forbidden book that would lead him down the path of becoming a warlock. It was a defining moment in his life that set them on a dangerous and powerful path.

The first time Brakanar made a pact with the Dao, and the overwhelming rush of power that came with it. It was an experience that he would never forget, and one that he would continue to chase as he sought to gain more power.

A battle with a group of paladins who believed Brakanar was in league with evil demons. It was a hard-fought battle that pushed Brakanar's powers to the limits, and left him with a newfound respect for his enemies.

The moment Brakanar realized the true cost of his powers, and the toll that his pact with the Dao was taking on his soul. It was a sobering realization that would shape his future decisions and actions.

The final battle with the Dao, where Brakanar was able to break free from its hold and regain control over his own destiny. It was a moment of triumph that came with a heavy price, as Brakanar was forever marked by the dark powers he had wielded.
