History: Raised in a poorer village of the country, Venator was orphaned before he could remember and raised in a communal orphanage owned by a neglectful and arrogant noble woman. To make ends meet, he turned to crime and he became a natural thief with his sharp, analytical mind and quick reflexes. He spent years breaking in and stealing valuables from the homes of nearby nobles until, age 12, his luck ran out and he was caught. Luckily, the man was a passing Knight who took pity on the boy and adopted him. He trained Venator as a knight, and he took to the training quickly. 

He eventually became a wandering mercenary/bounty hunter, where he used his rewards to support himself and the village he came from. As a warrior, he was a skilled fighter and tactician with a kind heart, but was closed off and anti-social. He did whatever he could to support and protect the common man, but never stayed long enough to make friends. At the behest of his mentor/adoptive father, he accompanied the veteran Knight to the Announcement Ceremony but he wasn't expecting for his name to be called as the Knight of Darkness...[/hider]
