You are haunted by something so terrible that you dare not speak of it. You’ve sought vengance from the moment it appeared, to no avail. Whatever this thing is that haunts you can’t be slain with a sword or banished with a spell. It might come to you as a shadow on the wall, a memory that refuses to die, or a demonic whisper in the dark. The burden has taken its toll, isolating you from most people and making you question your sanity due to the power you have gained. Since that day, you have been training and working as a vigilante monster hunter and adventurer to defeat the being that caused this.
