Bashter Evagrius left his well-to-fo family in the city to study metaphysics at Leidenheim Priory, a remote monastery. Unfortunately, a plague of husks (zombies) infected the monastery and surrounding countryside. Bashter barely survived, doing so by any means necessary, including acts of violence. He does not speak of what happened, though he has come to hate those who fail to live up to some notion of oblesse oblige: if one has power, one should use it for the benefit of those who do not. After recovering, he felt a call to join another sect, the Templa Avesti. | Bashter Evagrius left his well-to-fo family in the city to study metaphysics at Leidenheim Priory, a remote monastery.

− | + | Bashter Evagrius was born into a family of Reeves that lead a very comfortable, safe life in Suryada, the planetary capital of Ravenna. His teenage years were not the most pleasant, as his family life was themed by a vicious cycle between personality conflicts with family and political arguments with family. As he approached 20, however, his family and him achieved a balance of sorts. | |

− | + | Everyone was happy when he finally found himself: he was accepted into the priesthood, and the plan was for him to become a librarian and administrator within the church hierarchy. However, he still needed to attend seminary, and the earliest available spot was at the Leidenheim Priory, a monastery within the wilds of the Folari North province. Things were calm and working according to plan until the middle of his second year, when the entire valley was overrun with husks. The region was cut off from the rest of the world for almost a month before the area was retaken by a Kalinthi unit of monster hunters supported by Trusnikron rangers. The village closest to the monastery was in ruins, and there were many dead. Some of the dead were killed after they became husks, many were killed by husks, and many more appeared to have been killed by humans while they themselves were still human. The surviving commoners were lead by the Munstersen brothers, who described a list of the common horrors of a husk plague: a seige by the undead, humans who tried to steal and kill other humans to survive, family members mad with grief who let the husks of loved ones into the defense perimeter, etc. They told them that monks from the abbey came down to share supplies with the village. | |

The Kalinthi found the monastery had become a web of carnage, makeshift barricades, and traps. Inside, there were only two surviving monks: a seriously injured Bashter, and a young Eskatonic named Yacob. The abbey resisted the initial outbreak well, as it easier to defend than an open town. They received a radio call for help from the Munstersens, who were in dire need of medical supplies. Bashter, Yacob, and a third student named Ozandrus volunteered to take supplied down to the village. Ozandrus was eaten by husks on the way down. Upon returning, Yacob & Bashter found that the priory's defenses has been breached somehow, and their friends and mentors were either dead, eaten, or animated into husks. Bashter and Yacob became trapped in the abbey looking for survivors, and they found none. Bashter and Yacob created a safe zone in one tower, but Bashter broke his leg in the process, and Yacob dragged him to safety. | The Kalinthi found the monastery had become a web of carnage, makeshift barricades, and traps.
