Ishara Bladesinger - Elven Mage Hunter

Ishara once belonged to the Order of Purification, those who would hunt dangerous individuals who wielded Minera’s Breath with ill-magicks, tainting its very essence and the land that surrounded them. For centuries, this was her charge, constantly surrounded by dark magic, watching her kin perish to it in the most horrific means. The magicks only grew more powerful, and their wielders more desperate, as years passed by. When Elen Estel fell, it was the first time that Ishara succumbed to the temptation, feeling as though she could learn to harness the magic which destroyed her homeland’s crowning jewel, and stop it from happening again. It was during the Duskweave Campaign that Ishara completely succumbed to her desires, and her secret was uncovered. Her penchant for unholy magic was unleashed that day, and though it saved many of her kin, and their allies, she was seen as repulsive for imbibing upon the fonts of Breath that saved them. When the battle ended, Ishara fled, exiling herself in lands far from her home. It was here she was tracked down by another group who were at Duskweave that day. One who did not care for the evils of the magic she used, but how useful they might be. Banimal was an elite mercenary guild: the best of the best, who fought on Duskweave Isle that day for a premium price, paid by the Crown of Belfrie. They had seen Ishara’s fervent fighting, and the magic she unleashed. Wallowing in exile would be a waste. They offered her purpose instead, and a means to still punish the wicked when times permitted. She accepted, and has fought under their banner for almost a decade since.
