Kilus Lichbane

Race: Unliving Human

Class: Wizard

Salutatorian of Hero Grayson's magic guild, until one of many common/tragic explosions of magical discovery cut his life short. Hero, not wanting to waste potential/meat, raised our young protagonist as an Unliving (very much against Kilus's wishes.) He immediately dropped out, changed his name to Bilus Elfbane, and enlisted in the Imperial Navy on a scouting Deadship, as to keep his awful secret from his family and loved ones.
