Latherian was born into a Druidic Sect living in the Forest of Mists, following the teachings of Folian S'pae. A lover of nature at an early age, even more so than the common elf, Latherian would spend much of his time among the trees carving, often drawing a crowd of curious animals as he shaped fallen trees into almsot life-like images of animals. He was, however, never to become a Druid. One night, when Latherian was very young, a group of Drow who served the dark God Baereon Ca'duz found his home amongst the trees. Waking to find their leader, a tall Drow sorcerer with copper hair and ruby-red eyes, standing over him, Latherian screamed waking his parents, as well as the rest of the Sect, who rushed to fight off the villians. It was to no avail. All the Druids were slain, and without the others, Latherian was defenseless. The insidious leader, seeking to do more than just harm to the boy, cast a horrible curse upon Latherian, turning Latherian's image into that which slew his family, that of a Drow. Fleeing for his life, Latherian ran from his home as the villian laughed, watching the boy's skin slowly change to a dark blue as he fled. The last thing Latherian saw of the sorcerer was a spider-shaped pendant around his neck and a scar that crossed over the villians right eye. Now Latherian wanders the lands that surround his ancestral home, fifty years later, knowing that without the guidance of his clan he could never become a Druid. For the last twenty years he has been a Ranger, making sure what happened to him never happens to anyone else, and hopes to find a way to find a way to avenge his family. He tends to keep to himself, and although does not avoid social interaction, he often comes off as being cold hearted due to his tendency to not care. He cares very little about what goes on in the rest of the world, and seeks only revenge, although this comes from a painfully feeling of loneliness that he does not know how to handle. He does, however, occasionally go out of his way to defend against evil, and has been know to save lone travelers from marauders and bandits, gaining the nick-name "The Silent Savior" among traveling types.
