When the time was right, the demon Seir, brought to the human world a progeny to do his will. The human world was the ideal place for his son to be raised, to be prepared to help rule over his twenty-six legions. For a demon indifferent to evil, and a bringer of good fortune, human greed would be an ideal catalyst to learn and grow for his son. His son, Otabek was born to two humans, Dinara and Aibek Altin who loved their child greatly. They sensed something different about him, as did those around him and Seir watched over his son—Seir’s presence disturbed the spiritual people of the community greatly and they rose up against the young child who seemed too beautiful—too aware. 

Dinara and Aibek fought to their dying breath to save their son, with the help of a powerful jinn, they saved him—masking his true nature and dulling his beauty so that he appeared to be human. They died saving him as the people of the community burned their home in an attempt to rid themselves of the evil they believed Otabek to be. The jinn had promised to raise Otabek until he was of the age that he could care for himself and Dinara’s and Aibek’s contract was solid through death. 

The jinn cared for Otabek and taught him how to survive and thrive in the human world. They taught him of his powers and of his true nature as a demon. They left him once Otabek reached the age of twenty-three with one final bit of parting wisdom,  “We’re creatures of the underworld. We can’t afford to love.”
