History
Long ago there was a monster. Monster lived wild, free, ever able to do as it pleased. It was a very solitary monster, never living with any other monsters except for one. These two monsters were brothers, they couldn't be separated by man or immortal. Or so the two beasts thought, until they did come face to face with an immortals. The monster lost his only brother at the hands of an immortal he was soon to call his god. In complete and total out rage the monster threw himself at the immortal, aiming to try and kill. The beast for all its valor and strength was slaughter like an insignificant pest. It laid dying at the feet of the immortal, unaware of its future that was soon to come. At the hands of Thetros the beast and his brother were reborn as men. With sharp claws, dangerous fangs, and a wild nature the beast of a man was drawn to the life of the Hunter. He and his brother through every life remained close, sometimes even raising each other after their untimely demise. Even among the Lothar who always considered each other to be brothers, these two were close. Together through the ages they traveled almost as one, a single boat set adrift on the rippling seas of fate and life.
Eventually after a great many existence, came the story of Zelferan and Helios. After the two died protecting their home from a vicious beast they were raised by their brothers, like any Lothar would be. From the moment Zelferan was old enough to think he knew he would bound to the path of the Hunter. On the other hand Helios knew he was to be a Breeder. Together the two trained their respective Paths to the best of their abilities. However, one day Helios grew bored by it all. To his brother Helios purposed an interesting idea that Zelferan had never even pondered in all his years. Leave. Zelferan had never left the city he called home, and in all his lives he had never left the region he was born in. As far as he knew or cared he would always be born there and always die there. Helios however was a freer spirit, eventually convincing Zelferan to leave with him. When the two were roughly 16 arcs of age and strong enough to take care of themselves they left. Zelferan was a very curious man, always poking his nose where it didn't belong. He liked to learn things, sneaking around and watching others. His favorite thing was to watch the other races. How the interacted, how they thought, what the women were like. He wanted to know everything he possibly could. Helios on the other hand could care less. Zelferan often found himself being the one to take care of both of them. Zelferan was usually the one with a job, Zelferan was usually the one to drag Helios to whatever inn they were staying at after he got drunk, Zelferan was usually the one to deal with the angry pregnant women who came after his brother for what he'd done. Slowly Zelferan started to get a little sick of it. After two arcs of putting up with the nonsense he confronted his brother, asking what in the hell was going on. Helios broke into tears, playing on the sob act. He said that he honestly didn't mean to do what he did, it just sort of happened. He couldn't control himself! He gave into his vices. Zelferan, ever the fool, forgave him.
At around 20 arcs of existing in this life the pair came across the city of Nashaki for the first time. Zelferan fell in love with the city. He wasn't sure exactly what it was but the city itself called to him like a siren. He wanted to stay there for the rest of his days and every day past that. Helios on the other hand, hated it. While in the city Zelferan paid no attention to his brother, often letting the other man fend for himself. This upset Helios beyond all belief, and for the first time Helios lashed out at Zelferan. It started out as nothing more than a simple fist fight. Helios however quickly turned it into something a lot more violent. He began scratching, clawing, punching to break as many things as possible. Helios ended up winning, beating Zelferan into a bloody pulp and calling it punishment for ignoring and disrespecting his brother. This was when Zelferan started to realize that something was wrong, very wrong. Zelferan, ever the fool, forgave him. The two left the city after that, Helios trying to find someplace that wouldn't draw Zelferan's attention to so. Zelferan didn't care though, there was a part of his spirit that was broken with his bones the day of that fight. Zelferan quickly became a shell of his former self. This carried on for a couple more arcs, though something in Helios seemed to have changed. His habits made almost a 360, he started working alongside Zelferan, saving money and ignoring women. For a time Zelferan had hope that his brother had returned to his senses. For a time life was good, great even as Zelferan discovered the thing that would quickly become the most important thing to ever walk into his life.
In Scalvoris Zelferan met a woman with skin and hair like snow and eyes like fire. Her name was Zix. Zelferan quickly became obsessed with this woman, spending every moment of his time with her and trying to win over her favor. Zix's eyes however seemed to be a reflection of her spirit as she refused to let Zelferan sweet her off her feet, a spirit like pure flames keeping her independent and free. Zelferan however stayed to determined. Zix, realizing he wasn't giving up, gave him a chance and ended up falling in love. Zelferan adored Zix with all of his heart, and decided that she would be his life mate. Helios quickly caught on to what was going on, and he was furious. Both Zix and Helios disappeared for a time, 2 seasons to be specific. When they returned Zix was broken beyond repair, fattened with a child. Again, Helios had punished his brother for his disloyalty. Helios expected Zelferan to completely break this time, and the man did, but not in the way that Helios was hoping for. Zelferan realized in the moment he saw them, that his brother no longer existed. He left Scalvoris with Helios, and Zix who Helios wished to use as a pet, allowing his enemy to think that he was broken. Zelferan attacked Helios the moment they were far enough from Scal no one would be able to hear his screams. Zelferan with all the strength and anger of his old monster self tore off the arm of Helios, but unfortunately allowed Helios to escape. There was always the chance that Helios would survive, and almost a certain chance that he would come back reincarnated unless some animal ate him like he deserved.
Zelferan offered Zix one final "mercy", killing her quickly by stabbing her in the head. The child on the other hand, festering in her gut, he offered no such kindness to. With his dagger he carved his former life mate wide open, his mind completely having been lost in his wrath and his madness. He pulled the half formed child and out stabbed it. He stabbed it and stabbed it and stabbed it until it was a puddle of blood and flesh, whatever was left he set ablaze.
After that Zelferan returned to Nashaki. The city had taken on a completely different light. He could see the dark half, the dangerous half, the half that he now belonged to. He used what funds he's stolen from Helios to buy a house in the city. He decided he didn't want to be the underdog anymore. He would be the leader, the alpha. He decided that he was going to rule Nashaki. And he knew the perfect way to go about it.
Housing
Zelferan's new housing is roughly the same size as the old one. Owing to the terrible heat of the day, the underground chambers are kept very cool. Being underground, there are no windows to be had, but in place of them, the chamber is somewhat more nicely furnished than it would otherwise be, and is provided with some very heavy bedding to ward off the cool of the night. The chamber also a has a floor mat with some additional heavy bedding in case Zelferan has a slave staying the night with him, whether it be a personal slave or tower slave, and he doesn't want lesser beings in his bed.
