Maldavos always loved magic, from the first moment he was able to cast a spell I developed an obsession and love for gaining knowledge and expanding his magical ability. He studied hard as a wizard for years, as a diligent student he rose to prowess quickly, he soon gained the attention of the Avalon Knights a famous adventuring group. He happily joined them and soon made a few friends in the group, the Mighty dragon born paladin Corvan, the reclusive drow sorcerer Kalizar, and the beautiful elven cleric of Sune Tairou all became close friends. For the first time, Maldavos found something more important than magic. The Avalon knights became a second family to him. His parents had passed when he was very young raised by estate servants he never truly had the experience of a real family. He knew he had to protect his new family at any cost, surely magic with all of its powers and secrets could do it. He wondered, of what use was his years of diligent study and training is he could not prevent the deaths and loss of his family? One day these fears came too close. During an encounter with a powerful enemy, Kalizar and Tairou were badly wounded. Maldavos became furious hamming the enemy with all of the magical energy he could muster. Everyone survived, barely. It was clear he bad to become stronger more powerful it was the only way to keep his new family safe. He lost himself in his study his Digging into every dark tome every ancient tablet he could find, translating ancient netherease spells, learning everything he could get his hands on. It was then that he came across a spell that would allow him to absorb the power of his foes. This was what he needed a way to turn the power of those who would hurt his family against them. Nothing would hurt the people he loved ever again. However this new power came at a price, it was clear to everyone around him that Maldavos was changing, the more power he consumed the more erratic and dangerous he became. He became prone to outbursts of rage and violence he stopped sleeping and spent less and less time with his friends. It was clear that something had to be done, and it was Corvan who approached Maldavos first, he begged his friend to give up this magic to change course before the corruption overtakes him. On that day Maldavos killed his friend Corvan and became the wraith lord Blackwind.
