Background

Early Life

Growing up in a tribe divided by ideologies, Kurt was mentored in both martial and musical arts. His mother, an avid musician, tutored him and his sister Gretta in the ways of the Kiffarian Pan Flute. Kurt's father, one of the hunters of the Clan, mentored him in the art of the slugthrower and sword. In his free time, Kurt enjoyed exploring and causing mischief amongst the other children. One day in year 12, The clan was migrating back into the mountains for the summertime. While crossing through a narrow pass, the tribe was ambushed by mysterious marauders, leaving many dead, including Kurt's sister. Following his father's path for revenge, the fourteen year old boy set out with the rest of the clan's men to track down the killers. Along side his father and the others, they found the hostile village and raided it. In the ensuing battle, Clan Vellin managed to destroy most of the killers and routing the rest, but it before losing many warriors, including Kurt's father. After burying his father and watching the village burn, he returned to his mother to inform her of what had happened.
