He was born a hellion of immeasurable thirst for power and glory, and a talent beyond compare. He fought, he scoured far lands and deep caves of dubious creation, and grew in power and arcane knowledge.

Eventually he met a half-dragon in tavern. The wyrm's name was Barrak, and he became both mentor and friend. He taught Alanon of honor, but Alanon, absorbed in his youthful arrogance, soon fell to dark ways -- with definite consequences.

He finds himself, years later, again in the same tavern -- the Cliffside -- a twisted wraith, bound to the darkness in which he was shrouded. Only a glance from Barrak, and Alanon was made aware the error of his ways; thusly began his long journey to the redemption he has since achieved.
