Argos "Shine" Deepflame

With great power comes great responsibility... and I'm not very responsible." - Argos Deepflame

Argos Deepflame
The Deepflame family is semi-well known for their long lin of wizards at the Darkmound University. Balarius and Miralda Deepflame had two tiefling children who were, by family tradition and reputation, immediately enrolled in the University.

The firstborn, Argos, showed a supreme talent for the intellectual aspects of wizardry, but little to no talent for the harsh conditions of The Spire. In an academic environment where students are encouraged to beat challenge one another, Argos was continually beaten to bloodiness or broken bones, or humiliated constantly in front of his peers. The magical torment from the other students led to Argos being more and more of a recluse, and he soon began to avoid peer contact all together. For awhile, this tactic worked, until his younger sister was enrolled in Darkmound.

Yeezra Deepflame showed tremendous arcane talent just like Argos, but was much more aggressive and inclined to the environment of Darkmound. Argos was shamed but continued to study for his own interests and his family name. Despite his reclusiveness, a small group of other students continually bothered him. Argos tolerated them for months until they caught him studying alone in the bathroom and used torturous magic until he was bruised and broken.

"Next time we see you Argos, you're dead."

The words stuck to Argos like none of the other taunts, jests, or threats. "Next time we see you Argos, you're dead" was all he could hear, and the final snapping point. Argos knew he could not stand up to four students without help, so he looked in some darker books, and found some hidden magic. While alone in a secret room that he found earlier, Argos cast a dark ritual and summoned an unholy infernal monster that imbued him with much power. Thinking the power temporary, Argos knew he was ready to face the other students, just to get them off his back.

The next time he ran into them he did so confidently at night on a small plaza. "Next time we see you Argos, you're dead" he told them. They grinned and began their assault, but with a few spells, Argos had them all crying for mercy as he incinerated them with hellfire. His magic layed waste to their bodies and the plaza. Stunned by the level of his new power, and after staring at the black twisted corpses on the ground, Argos knew he had messed up. Not only that, but the power was there to stay. Fleeing Darkmound the following morning after packing his things, Argos headed for the city of Vahastria, taking on the tiefling name of "Shine" to try and start a new life and continue his arcane studies in a different environment.
