You are haunted by the secret actions of the Alterian Empire's Guardian Project, or more specifically a division of that project called the Order of the White Wolf. At the same time, despite the many things that were so terrible that you dare not speak of them, you were reared, trained and educated by the order to be fiercely loyal to it's cause. The Alterian Empire has begun to use magic to fuse different life forms together. In the most recent of years, the Alterian Empire has extended this research to humanoid subjects, magically transferring the traits of various animals into humans, elves, and vedalken. The goal of the Guardian Project is to build a Alterian army of soldiers perfectly adapted to a variety of combat situations. These hyper-evolved specimens are called Alterian hybrids, though they sometimes refer to themselves as guardians. The epitome of these creations are the Alterian Hybrid Aasimar, a specimen designed for the specific task of hunting and destroying entities of darkness and evil, by the Order of the White Wolf.

Be it, you were an affiliate working closely with the order's agenda, or one of these mutations known as an Alterian Hybrid Aasimar, you have learned much from the order's ways. It's teachings has left you scared, emotionally detached, and yet loyal and sworn to the cause of hunting down monsters, darkness, and evil entities where ever they may hide. With that conviction and training you have joined the Order of the White Wolf and become one of it's agents known all across Alteria as the Witchers.

Witchers at best are feared and largely misunderstood by the public. The dark sorcery involved in the Hybrids creation has caused many false rumors born on the back of fear and ignorance to spread like wildfire far and wide. No one wants a witcher around till they need one, and only then till there usefulness has run it's course. Being a witcher is a thankless job, but in the minds of the witchers, a vital and indispensable one. This passive hostility and ostracism makes life difficult, so the most fundamental part of a witchers education is in the knowledge's of nature, her flora and fauna, and how to thrive with little to nothing of the civilized communities.

You do belong to the Order of the White Wolf however, and where ever you might find your orders banner flying, you have found a safe haven, those who will aid you and treat with you fairly, a place to resupply and prevision, and if need be, a place to seek medical and restorative aid.
