[edit] Background

Damion was born on the third day of 3565, to two delighted and loving parents. Unfortunately, the events of the Usurpation less than two years later left him an orphan, his home and neighborhood ruined. Taken in by an orphanage founded to handle the children rendered parentless in that district of the city, Damion grew up with almost nothing to his own name, but with a multitude of friends with which he got into (and, usually, out of) trouble on a regular basis. The people who ran the orphanage were generally more interested in making the absolute minimum effort and pocketing the difference in their operating expenses from their budget, so the children were left to their own devices more often than not.

5 years ago, a new commander for the district concluded that the orphanage was doing more harm than good, arrested the operators on corruption charges, and turned out the children into the teeming mass of unfortunates that populated the mostly-ruined district. Banding together, and led by a boy 6 years Damion’s senior, they formed what they jokingly refered to as the “Shattered Row Orphans Mutual Development Society,” and set out to do whatever they could to keep each other alive.

Short of a few exciting and frantic chases through the rubble-laden streets and the occasional confrontation with smaller but older gangs of adults, the next 3 years were relatively uneventful. At that point, their leader suddenly disappeared. Damion did his best to hold them together, but things grew more and more desperate over the next year or so. The group was eventually approached by the Meru Reclamation Legion as taggers and message runners, which brought some relief, but as much as many in the MRL would like to help the unfortunate, their resources are necessarily limited. Damion eventually resolved on a perhaps inadvisable plan to rob the nearby apartments of a minor Dragon Blooded official, an attempt that likely would not have ended well, save for one thing.

Robbing one of the Exalted, even the lesser Dragon Blooded, is the ultimate in audacity. Picking the lock on his trophy case while he sleeps not 5 yards away, on the other hand, goes right past audacity and into the realm of the absurd. One might say it even say that it goes beyond the impossible. Fortunately for Damion, destiny and a loose Night Caste Exaltation found this absurdity to be awesome, and he took the second breath as his lockpicks turned.

Since that night, Damion has continued his work with MRL, serving in a variety of roles to help bring down the regime that left him and his friends parentless and out on the street, and has left thousands out in the dark just like them.
