Hadrian Avonthes

"Do you have even the slightest idea how it feels to know that your entire reason for existing is to be a weapon? That you were born not to be loved but to be used? No. I didn't think so."

- Hadrian, to Dr. Tyler.

Hadrian is the youngest child of Teltherus Avonthes, but was not raised by his father or mother. At birth, he was sent to Aerithes and raised by the leader of the Veilwalker Kingdom, Resam Rhannu. Teltherus hoped that by studying under the Veilwalkers, he would eventually be able to use his son to track down and destroy the Shadowlocks keeping the Banished One imprisoned.

Ultimately his tutelage under the clan led only to failure, and he ran from home, learning the art of the Stormcaller from the eponymous clan, rivals of the Veilwalkers.

Put in stasis by his father, angered at his son's failure to comply with his unstated wishes, Hadrian would not awake until he was freed from stasis by Aleph Lare, Aluna Manablood, and Zacharia Elkinson.
