History Characters / LandsOfArran

Gaw'er was a young rather bloodthirsty Blue Elf. However his true nature was that of a Dark Elf and he was kidnapped, taken to the fortress of Slurce to train as an assassin and was renamed Gaw'yn. Although he was the brightest student of his generation, Gaw'yn discovered that the oldest Dark Elves went feral and had to kill one in self-defense, which was forbidden. Fleeing Slurce, he became a free-lance assassin. However on his first mission, he falls in love with a human, Dyfeline, and cannot bring himself to kill her thus he begins to flee around the world with the Dark Elves on his tracks.
