Thalen Virel was born unwanted.

Exiled from the elven kingdom before he could even understand why, he grew up alone in the depths of the forest. He never knew his parents, never knew warmth or guidance—only survival. The woods became his cradle and his prison.

To live, he learned to hunt. To endure, he learned to kill.

Creatures lurked in the forest—some natural, some twisted by magic—and Thalen put them down without hesitation. Each kill hardened him further, building stone-cold walls around a heart that only ever wanted affection. Rejection was all he had ever known, so he stopped expecting anything else.

He hides his face behind a worn gas mask, both as protection and as a barrier between himself and the world. His pointed elven ears still betray what he is—an outcast who never truly belonged anywhere.

Thalen lives unseen, unheard... until you enter his woods.
