For my “just some guy” azata KC with a happy family and an untroubled childhood, Areelu Vorlesh – but only in the long run.

She committed his number one unforgivable sin – used him as a tool. He has no memory of the lab besides very vague childhood nightmares, but the thought that he was only one of countless children she experimented on and discarded does keep him awake at night. Not just for his own sake.

She’s also the reason he ended up trying to lead a Crusade with just a guitar and a smile, battling demon lords and undergoing a confusing, painful metamorphosis. And ascending to demigodhood on a whim. Without which he would have had a fine little life.

❓ - Estranged family/relatives they've never met

Recently been fleshing out a great-grandfather in Kyonin who cut off the half-elven side of the family before Sia was born, but who might now start taking an interest after news of the Fifth Crusade. Strange guy. After he lost his Kelish human wife, he broke off all contact, even with his own kids. Refused to communicate with Siavash’s mother (his granddaughter) when she begged to meet with him long ago. And now he’s taking an interest...

💢 - Person they can't stand

Mephistopheles. The enmity runs deep and bitter on both sides. For me this is a source of great joy and a lot of fic. Sia’s a chill guy but you mess with his dragon...
