Faust

Faust is a Darkling Summoner. Though he is an Aasaurian Citizen, he originally hails from Hexgarde where he was part of a prominant cabal-family of daemon worshipers.

Exile and capture
Outted by a rival summoner at his home in Hexgarde, he fell victim to his families quick manuevering to dissociate itself with anyone who could reveal just how in league with demons they were. Turned over to the Emerald Tower, they locked him in a dungeon till the King of Reddima saw use for him.

Work for the king
The king allowed Faust to travel to Aasauria and live, with the promise that he would help him take the kingdom when the time came. Like all captured and 'reformed' rogue mages, Faust has a rune inscribed on his body that allows the order to paralyze him in the event he tries to resist or escape capture.

In Aasauria
He eventually found work in the heroes guild, summoning daemons and evil creatures for the low level adventurers to fight. This method was well received due to it's safety in being able to control the creatures if things became life threatening. Faust felt prideful at being useful outside of political manuevering or as a spy for once.

Traitor to Aasauria
When the king beckoned and prepared to take the kingdom of Aasauria while it's heroes were away, Faust summoned a humongous daemon in the middle of a peaceful hamlet. Unlike the mind controlled council, Faust is motivated by sheer desire to survive, so he only follows the bare minimum of orders. His summoned daemons do little unless provoked and even then go easy on the non combatants as per his orders.
