Born in Yozgad (Kingdom of Grabisco) (Grabisco Kingdom)

Backstory:

Solo was born in the kingdom of Grabisco, an event no one could have predicted. He was the sole survivor of a brutal attack by a man-eating creature known only as the Vulture. This creature came down from the mountains to Yozgad seeking food, and he found it in Solo’s family. The creature murdered everyone, leaving the boy for dead.

He was discovered by a passing healer, taken to her home, and nursed back to health. The healer’s name was Lestara, who was an older priestess of Baba Yaga. Lestara was the only family Solo had left, which ultimately led to him becoming a shadow knight, worshipper of Baba Yaga. Solo’s faith was well rewarded in time, when he received a vision in his dreams.

He was guided by an angel into a church, where he saw the statue of Baba Yaga in the form of a snake. The angel explained that if he would devote himself to her will, she would guide him on the path to redemption for the sins of his parents. Solo allowed himself to be guided by the angel, and once a proper temple was built in the city, he became the first shadow knight in the land of Grabisco.
