You were a monster. The kind of creature that adventurers kill for a living. The kind that murders people in their sleep. You were siting in your lair making plots when two groups of clearly powerful adventurers bust in. You took cover and then realized that the groups were fighting. Just then a mage tried to cast a very powerful spell but swordsman struck him halfway through. the resulting effect wiped your mind and gave you the appearance of one of the adventures. When you awoke you had no memory and had been rescued by a passing traveler who heard the explosion. He nursed you back to health.
