Bio: Many years ago Strykr's family was in the process of moving to a new city in a far away land. During there journey along a heavily forested road they realized they were approaching a small group of highwaymen up in the distance. Strykr was very young at the time. His mother realizing they were in danger managed to place Strykr in the foliage as there wagon full of belongings as such moved along the road. She kissed him and told him to stay quiet no matter what happens and that she'd return for him in a moments time. She was able to get back to the wagon undetected by the rogues. They were stopped by these bandits and were given demands to leave them all of there belongings. They didn't have much, but all they had they needed for there survival and there trek across the land. His father stood his ground and was promptly executed by one of the rogues. His mother screamed in horror as they started moving in towards her. They took no pity and took her life as well. Strykr sat in utter horror and shock that he couldn't move or say anything. He was petrified. The highwaymen never noticed him off in the distance.

A couple of days later Strykr, with the burning memory of his mother's face etched in his mind, began to wander through the forest. As he came to another trail he heard a group of voices in the near distance. A band of monks returning from a pilgrimage noticed him and approach. He was again petrified. They warmed up to him and made him feel comfortable enough to tell his tale. Not knowing his full name the monks had no way of returning him to any relatives. So they took him in as one of their own.

The monks provided Strykr with an education and rigorous physical training throughout his youth and adolescent years. But Strykr could never forget his mother's face and the group of highwaymen that took the lives of his parents. He made a vow to himself to someday seek his parents murderers and take revenge for his loss. Whether or not if he ever finds them, he has sworn a personal oath to hunt down these types of scum and make them pay for his loss.

At the age of 20, the monks at the monastery knew that Strykr wasn't going to be staying with them throughout his life. But he had attained sufficient martial knowledge and had become one with his mind and body and the elements around him. Well trained in hand to hand combat as well as many different types of weapons. They knew it was time for him to get on with his life and seek what life had in store for him. They gave him some food and a paultry sum of money to send him on his way. He promised to someday return to the monastary, but they knew they would never see him again.
