Cêkeb

Cêkeb was born in the Far Jurrian among the Qiloç, one of the scattered island-tribes in the deep southern sea. He was born with the soul of Jason Reilev, killed shortly before the time of his birth at the Fall of the Nexus. Jason's soul, as all souls do, was recycled back into the world through reincarnation, and Cêkeb was born. However, two years after Cêkeb's birth, an event thousands of miles away, back in the land of Templehelm would change his life forever.

Two years after Jason's death, three men gathered at the Temple of Mycelyix, where the Nexus had once stood: Cedric Rashoth, Acmog the Lich-King, and Rapheous, then head of The Guild. At this gathering, Acmog uses his mastery of the necromantic arts to call Jason's soul back to Templehelm and tether it to the severed eye of a Leviathan as a kind of phylactery. It was in this moment that Cêkeb, only a toddler, lost the soul he was born to. It was this moment that would change his life.

The Qiloç noticed that something was wrong quickly, as once a body loses its soul, there are obvious signs. Cêkeb fell deeply ill, and the shamans had to work day and night to keep him alive. It's a miracle that they managed to - very few lose their souls and live to feel the repercussions, but Cêkeb did. His mother was labeled as cursed, and they were forced to live outside of the village; his father wanted nothing to do with them and took a new wife. The shamans agreed to see to the pair as needed, but the rest of the village ostracized Cêkeb and his mother until the day she died, when Cêkeb was 15.

After that, there was nothing keeping Cêkeb with the Qiloç, so he took a ship and left. The next several years were spent primarily among pirates, raiding villages across the Far Jurrian. During this time Cêkeb learned the ways of the world; he learned the trade languages of that southern sea and the common tongue of the North. He learned of the sins of man, their wrath, pride, greed, and envy. He learned to fight. To kill. He learned all that he could so that he would one day be able to take back what was his. So, on the eve of his 21st year, Cêkeb set off for the north, feeling from the absence in his heart where he must go. He sailed straight for the soul that was his, and he took it. Cutting it straight out of a weakened, regretful Jason's chest.
