When he was only an infant , the House LeSzasz was eradicated overnight by a bloody Revolution.
He was secreted away to far away lands into another nightmare.
The smuggling network managed to take him far and fast, but into a land that was ravaged by local warlords. A period of civil instability and desolation was the backdrop for a young Sade raised in servitude to a terrible and cruel master. The people were suffering and many lives were lost in warfare and in famine. Sade lived in this destitution until he was a young teenager.
A witches coven travelled to the lands.. led by 3 witches Calyx, Phoebe, and Blaire. They mounted a liberation campaign and fought seveeral battles in leading up to this moment. But to a unknowing Sade, it seemed these witches overthrew the warlord's dominion overnight. As dawn approached and his world in flames, Sade pleaded to join the coven. For one reason or another, they allowed him to join.
For the first time Sade had a family; they taught him things he should have always known, and things he never dreamed of knowing. History, culture, tradition, magic, martial arts, music, all things a young boy should know. He lived many years in this bliss, travelling the land.
However, eventually the Reconquest happened, and the witches had been a long time enemy of this group, now sweeping across the land to exterminate this coven. With their enemies closing in fast, there was little time to plan. The coven mounted a final defense at their fortified encampment, but it was soon apparent surviving would be a gift granted to few.
Sade was again secreted away, this time, with full cognition of the tragedy unfolding before him.
The details are elusive, but Sade made it across oceans, and does not dare to return to these previous places. But a desire for closure does haunt him. Do his witch-mothers live?
Now a young man, Sade has donned the LeSzasz name again, seeking to give it a new meaning in the world, refusing to let his line die in obscurity. He runs a 'delivery' business that specializes in difficult deliveries. Through this 'trade' he funds his own meagre living. He spends much of his time tinkering with his assortment of bodkins and knives. His latest two inventions involve an explosive charge and a piston firing bolt. Both weapons require development of a trigger mechanism.
He carries a long knife the Misericorde, a tiny needlepoint knife that he can hide in his palm named Woe; the piston bolt rondel is named Rey , a bodkin called Mi and a sleeve dagger called Fa, and two explosive bolts called So and La. 7 tools of destruction. Although he often has to use these weapons, he replaces each one with a different iteration if lost. For example, he often leaves the bodkin inside his deliveries, pinned against a wall, so there have been 37 different Mi's used over his lifetime. Each time So & La are used, they are destroyed and have to be rebuilt from scratch. This also gives each iteration a chance to be unique and evolves the design.
His pauldrons which cover only his shoulders and back, have these Eyes one side, that make the armor appear living. They look at things independently and when he Cloaks, the eyes close and reopen when he reappears. Contrary to belief they do not grant him vision, and is used primary for intimidation and as conduits for magic. The eyes do not open if the armor is donned by someone other than Sade as his tattoos unlock this feature of the armor.
He hopes to save enough money to be able to travel back to the former witchlands to uncover the truth without fear of persecution.
