Background: Berginyon was born a drow fighter/theif in the underdark city of Menzoberranzan, to a matron mother of an insignificant house. Completely fed up with being treated as an "insignificant male", in an act of vengance, slew a high priestess with a well placed dagger in the back. He hid in a trade caravan to the surface and escaped. A few years later, he was commisioned by the shade of a powerful mage who was slain when a spell he cast went awry. The resulting cataclysm laid waste to a 500 mile square area. This cataclysm led to a group of magehunters being created who absorbed all the magic within a certain radius of their person. After defeating the local magehunters, in a fit of greed, Berginyon stole the Holy Avenger from his companion, a follower of Mystra. As soon as his hand touched the hilt of the sword, he found the soul of a wizardress trapped within. After giving repentance to the overgod Ukko for trying to steal his holy relic, he was givin a quest to prove himself worthy. He was charged to search out the tower that held the Endless Stairs, and defeat in single combat the gaurdian of the tower. After a mighty struggle, Berginyon imerged victorious, and communed with Ukko to ask for worthiness. He was given one last quest to empty a tribe of goblins from an abandoned temple of his to the south. He immedeatly set out and accomplished this task. He then set his hands on the holy sword for the first time with Ukko's blessing. But when he pledged his life to the service of Ukko, he was trnsformed into his present form.
Personality: Berginyon is one who believes in justice first and formost, and that the gods have a plan for everyone. Evrything happens for a reason. If he sees a peasantt murdered by an evil warlord, he will first bury the peasant, then run off and kill the warlord for his evil act, and donate the warlord's valubles to the peasant's family.
