Seems everyone has a tragic past. Does anybody's character still have living parents? Feels like I'm reading Batman's origin story.

Both of Abel's parents live still, despite their dangerous careers as guardians of the kingdom. It was Abel's brother Cain, too eager to play the hero, who fell at the hand of a Beowolf.

While this does still bother Abel, time has allowed him to make peace with it, so there won't be any emotional flashbacks or sudden breakdowns. Sorry.
