The white leopard Tabaxi known simply as Smoke was born in the snow covered lands of Icewind Dale. His father, a druid, and his mother a sorceress, Smoke developed an innate skill in both crafts being able to wield powerful magics and even call upon the stars in order to change the tide of battle
Smoke's greatest achievement was putting a stop to the Frost Maiden's reign over Icewind Dale with the help of fellow adventurers who were stuck in the frozen tundra thanks to the eternal blizzard that the Frost Maiden had created. It was during this adventure that Smoke made friends outside of his family, and started to grow accustom to society, that was until the party was betrayed by their Owlkin friend whom they had to fight in order to put a final end to the Frost Maiden.
The Full Metal Artificer
Balrian Arlakan started his travels at the young age of 18 when he came across the Cyridania twins Raziel and Tarathiel. Driven by both wanderlust and vengence for what happened to his parents, Balrian travelled with the two elves and even became Raziel's apprentice in the art of magic. However one faithful day put Balrian against the likes of Orcus the Demon Lord of Necromancy. In an intense battle, Balrian aided in banishing the Demon Lord back to the Abyss but not before Orcus severed Balrian's arm. With no way for a Cleric to restore the arm, an Artificer made a mechanical arm for Balrian and he started to continue his adventures.
Balrian would soon make a name for himself out from under the shadows of the elven twins when the threat of Orcus and the other Demon Lords began to rise. Joining a small band of Drow prisoners, Balrian led the way through the Underdark and took charge during the battle against the likes of Demogorgan and even Orcus himself, out right destroying Orcus in the second round they fought. However, Balrian would be faced with fighting a Drow Necromancer and tracking him down only to watch an old companion become a Lich and begin the dark rituals of trying to become a god. Could Balrian defeat a Lich God? He didn't know until the elven twins came back to aid in the battle.
Zemnirian Protector
Othorion Zara-Taka is the uncle of Tarathiel and Raziel, brother to Kazara Cyridania. It is with his story that the fate of the elven twins would be sealed. Othorion would be in the Imperial capaital of Zemnira when a strange invisible creature attacked some monks during a parade. With the help of other travellers, Othorion (or Orion for short) would put down the beast and begin to investigate its origins.
Not much is known of Othorion's adventures except that he is the first of his bloodline to have travelled to all of the continents of Netharis, and would eventually be the one who inspired the Emperor of Zemnira to create the Order of the Gray Hunters, naming Othorion it's Grand Master and first official member. Rather this was out of respect for Othorion's achievements or some hidden secret as the two shared the same dragon scales on their skin, Othorion never would find out.

Legend of the Arkadian Storm Dragon
Origins/History
The twin brother of Raziel Cyridania, son of Pheradeth and Kazara Cyridania, Tarathiel lived an exciting life. He often found himself fighting with the other elven children of the Moon Wolf barbarian tribe. In most cases Tarathiel usually was protecting his weaker brother from getting his teeth kicked in by the stronger kids. One day however this all changed the day an Orc war tribe raided the tribe's camp, slaughtering everyone except him and his brother Raziel.
While Raziel managed to escape being the faster of the two and more adept at hiding, Tarathiel was captured by the Orcs and would spend the next fifteen years constantly fighting for his life in the fighting pits that the Orcs put together. It didn't matter what it was between beast, monster, human, man, or woman, Tarathiel had to fight to survive and he developed an uncontrollable rage from this. However, it was after the fifteenth year mark that Tarathiel would find himself set free by his brother who had infiltrated the camp wearing strange monastic garb and moving as silent as death.
With Raziel's help, Tarathiel brought about his fury upon the Orcs and the two slaughtered the entire warband. After that however, Tarathiel was brought to the Monestary of the Summer Rose in Zemnira where he would learn to control his rage and eventually seek how to better himself as a person.
Present Day
Presently, Tarathiel has been accepted into the Order of the Gray Hunters and has taken up the ways of the Dragon Rune Knight, having draconic runes tattooed into his skin with magical gemstone dust. He fights along side his brother Raziel against any who would disrupt the balance of the universe in the world of Netharis. He also is the one who is tasked with training any other would be hunters that wish to join the Order. Though he is considered a Dragon Rune Knight, Tarathiel has not been granted knighthood...yet
Raziel Cyridania
Probably one of the most important people to Tarathiel is his twin brother Raziel. While Tarathiel is an elf of great strength and endurance, Raziel is one of great cunning and dexterity.
The Twins of the Forest
Zirella and Saichiel, both the children of Raziel are porbably the only two children that can get away with practically anything around Tarathiel. While Raziel may protest, Tarathiel often spends his time teaching the younger twins all of the trouble they can cause if only they work together.
The Aztec Dragon
Balth'zar Kilgrax often served as a mentor to Raziel and Tarathiel in their younger years. He taught the two how to fight differently than their barbaric tribes would have. A paladin of Bahumut and a worshiper of the Red Knight, Balth'zar is a force to be reckoned with.
