A mutt by the standards of his people. Kaylin was born the only child of the elven woman Fayla Swiftblade and the human man Gerard Rakkis. His conception is not something of love and pride as Kaylin is the product of rape. This view did not change Fayla's caring for her son. She raised him as her child, loving him and caring for him for the next fifteen years. By the end of that fifteen years, he was abducted by Gerard.
Looking for a successor to his line of work, Gerard had kidnapped Kaylin while Kaylin was still young. Gerard knew that Kaylin, being half-elf, would have benefits to his line of work that he himself did not have. You see, Gerard was an assassin, and he had hoped that Kaylin could be one to help him. He forget, however, that Kaylin did not mature at the same rate that he did and, at the age of fifteen, Kaylin was still a child. However, he quickly matured for his age, and grew very bitter of his father.
For twenty years Kaylin lived with his father. For twenty years he was trained in the arts of killing and stealth. For twenty years he lived in fear of the beatings he was dealt on an almost daily basis. For twenty years he cowered. Then he fought back. While Gerard was sleeping one night, Kaylin used the skills he had been taught to kill the now aged Gerard. With the old man out of the way, he was free, and he left the hovel in the town of Rizam where he had been raised and began searching for his mother like the lost child he was. Inside his soul however, a seed of hate had been planted. A seed that lay dormant, awaiting for the time to sprout.
Another 130 years passed and Kaylin was now at the age of 160 and was approaching adulthood. It was while on a trip to Rizam to get supplies for his mother and himself that the seed of hate had begun to sprout. His father had had a bad reputation in the town, and it had lasted for the last 130 years. People knew of the name, but never expected Kaylin, his son, to be a half-elf. He was rejected by the people and denied service by any of the market owners. Outraged, he took a little of the supplies that he had needed and ran back to his mother's home to plot his vengeance.
During a dark time in the land of Ashr'alan, Kaylin made a name for himself by selling his skills to the highest bidders. To keep his mother safe he took the identity of the Black Rose, taken from the wilted rose tattoo his father had impressed onto his right cheek. The assassinations gave him a chance to get revenge on humanity, for shunning him and his namesake. However, the Undead War came to an end, and a peace fell over the land. In an attempt to be continue his work, Kaylin sought out the biggest names in the land, knowing each would have their own little squabbles with others. His last fortune would be from a man by the name of Trenton.
While on a tracking missing for Trenton, Kaylin was grabbed suddenly by a magical force and ripped from the land of Ashr'alan and brought to the land of Ayenee. Lost and confused, Kaylin has begun to search for his place in this new land, unsure of where he belongs anymore.
Kaylin is fit to be played in any setting or scene.
