Backstory: Bonorix from the day he was born was told that he would one day become a great druid among his people. He was born to a tribe of humans who lived outside of civilization and lived in mutual respect and peace with nature. They followed the beliefs and philosophies of the ways of the wild. A human is an animal and nature is both beautiful and cruel. Balance is what his tribe believed in and these beliefs allowed them to avoid conflict when necessary.
Bonorix's people were known for producing Moon Druids who specialized in transforming into creatures all shapes and sizes. The sheer power of some of the ancient druids of his tribe were legendary, but over the many generations the number of druids in his tribe decreased and only a handful were a part of tribe now. At age seven Bonorix displayed his first sign of magical talent and made plants grow to unnatural lengths. At age ten he had his first transformation and transformed into a dog. The druids took him under their wing and began to instruct him on the ways of druidry and the secrets of the Moon.
Bonorix made impressive progress and had the potential to be a great druid, but terrible tragedy struct. Bonorix's tribe was attacked and wiped out by an army of invaders under the command of a powerful dark wizard. Those of tribe that survived were captured and Bonorix was sold into slavery by the invaders. Life became miserable for him and he spent several years under his oppressor's rule. Eventually he managed to escape and sought to find power to destroy his enemies.
He soon heard about the fabled Tower and decided to go in search of it to gain power and seek his vengeance.
How did you find out about the tower?: (Most wizards will be invited to the tower by the owner, named Prince Seadus, but some will have gotten there by...more creative means?)
Personality: Bonorix is very aggressive thanks to both his shape-shifting abilities and the years he spent as a slave. He almost literally has a beast within him and it takes sheer will to keep his bloodthirsty impulses in check and not slaughter people. It is one of the side effects of being a moon druid and it can sometimes make him act more like animal than man. Despite this Bonorix is good deep down and will remain loyal to those he calls friends and allies. He will help those in need and tries to keep his word.
