Answer: Thomas (aka Bhorg). Samael had caught up to the 3 teenagers as they tried to reach the tem­ple, but they aggres­sive­ly con­demned him for keep­ing such a dan­ger­ous crea­ture in his base­ment, threat­en­ing him. Gilas the male want­ed to attack Bhorg and kill him, but Samael tried to stop them say­ing that Bhorg is not a dan­ger. Gilas cast a spell which Samael blocked with his armor, but it made Bhorg mad that Samael was attacked, so Bhorg killed all 3 teenagers. Samael was tak­en aback by this vicious reac­tion. Even if he meant it in defense of Samael, Bhorg was, at his core, a beast capa­ble of inflict­ing much harm. The 3 bod­ies were nev­er found because Samael tossed them into the riv­er.

Answer: Gus, Tara’s broth­er, but by acci­dent. He had heard a com­mo­tion while out­side the city walls, and rode towards it think­ing it was ban­dits. Instead, it was Samael being attacked by Here­boros, Gilas’s father and a pow­er­ful mage. Gus jumped in to help his Cap­tain who gave Gus his enchant­ed shield (a wed­ding gift from Martha, Samael’s elf wife). Just as the mage sent a spell, Gus raised the shield which deflect­ed the spell right back at the cast­er. He died, and they threw the body in the water. That’s why Gus had not been so well. It was an acci­dent, but he’d still killed a very impor­tant and pow­er­ful man.

Answer: Nad­ja the dancer, Cyn­thi­a’s moth­er. In order to buy the The House of Hands, Nad­ja had to take out a large loan from sev­er­al investors the biggest of whom was Gron­imir who was very influ­en­tial with the ear of the town assem­bly… and under the table, too. He start­ed black­mail­ing Nad­ja, demand­ing the mon­ey back. The night he died, he raped Nad­ja, but did­n’t intend to stop there because he want­ed Cyn­thia, too. Nad­ja killed him with a spe­cial spell called Invis­i­ble Dag­gers and staged the blood out­side the win­dow.

Answer: Bhorg (aka Thomas) is Eve­lyn’s half-broth­er. Martha, Eve­lyn’s elven moth­er had dis­obeyed her hus­band Samael dur­ing the Orc War and gone out­side the city gates to gath­er herbs. Samael raced out to find her, but it was too late as she’d been raped by an Orc. While nor­mal­ly Elves and Orcs should not pro­duce viable off­spring, for some rea­son she became preg­nant. Despite the preg­nan­cy being dan­ger­ous, both elven moth­er and elven-orc child sur­vived.
