Whistling Damon

Deep in the Raysco Mountains, near the northern edge of Mortis and the volcano of Bren-ha, there is a small cluster of jagged hills called the Blade Mounts. It is in these treacherous hills that the Psychler clan has lived for centuries. Though they live in the midst of death, they have never subscribed to the philosophies of the Dark Eternals, and no one in their family history has ever signed the Dark Contract to bind their souls to the Lord of Darkness.

The eldest son of the next generation is named Damon Psychler, also known as Whistling Damon. He has hunted the hills of home since shortly after he learned to walk some twenty years ago. He is dark and handsome, always wearing a flowing black cloak with a wide and loose hood. Damon's clansmen say that he is so quick that he can loose four deadly arrows before the first can be heard hitting its target. He is extraordinarily skilled at sneaking up on prey in the wild, but often chooses to make himself known simply because he seeks a challenge. He does this by whistling an ancient but familiar bone-chilling song. The eerie melody has become known as Damon's song, and almost anyone who hears its notes is about to die by arrow.

Damon had a special contract written for his enlistment as a Gladiator in the Moxian tournaments. Instead of gold or Heliostones, he has requested his pay in many types of Khymian medicine, which he intends once his service has ended to take home, so that the Psychler clan never has to leave the safety of their hidden mountain homes.
