Bilbo was born and raised in Elyen of Forreithel, an ancient forest city hidden deep within the misty groves and towering oaks.  Elyen was known for its beauty and its reclusive nature—wood elves living in harmony with nature, sworn to keep their borders secure and their secrets even more so. But not all of  Elyen residents led such virtuous lives; the city had a hidden, shadowed underbelly. The elven council’s strict regulations and the city’s isolation left many elves feeling trapped, so some turned to crime, operating under the dense canopies and ancient roots.

Bilbo was one of them. His family had long lived on the fringes of society, fallen nobles who had lost everything. Determined to provide for them,  Bilbo became adept at subterfuge, theft, and deception. By the time he was barely of age, he was working as an informant and spy for Elyens underworld, slipping through militery ranks and reporting on rival factions and the movements of the council itself. His skills became popular, and his contacts grew to include powerful figures across the elven lands.

But everything changed one night during a fateful mission after he pleaded and asked freedom from the familes that held his family captive in det and subserviance. Bilbo was ordered to infiltrate an estate rumored to hold a powerful artifact—a relic thought to grant its bearer protection from any magical force and to burn the place to the ground. Bilbo, efficient and stealthy, broke in, and after a quiet infiltration ,  secured the artifact. But in the light of dawn, he discovered something horrifying hsi family was captured and placed in the building he burnt to the ground and the artifact was cursed, binding bilbo to the memory of every life he had taken, even of the ones he loved through curssed dreams.

For years, bilbo has roamed from city to city, working as a mercenary, spy, and informant for those who can pay. Though he tries to suppress his past, his dreams are plagued by memories of those he has or harmed. Each job he takes now serves one purpose: to gather information on ancient artifacts, curses, and prophecies, anything that could possibly free him from the haunting The elusive clues  of the curse of the artifact drive him, making him alike a ghost on a relentless quest to forget.

Bilbo life has become a solitary path shrouded in shadow, one filled with calculated risks, secret alliances, and endless searching. His heart is bound to Elyen by memories he can’t forget and the hope that he may, one day, find a way back to the life he abandoned… or to some semblance of peace... and to pure unadulterated revenge.
