Acheros, a diligent youth with a sickly parent, worked tirelessly to join the Inquisition so he could provide for her. Armed with a strange fascination for the occult, he spent his days delving into esoteric grimoires and studying methods to defend against witchcraft, hoping to get accepted amidst the famed Chasseurs.
Everything was going well, until one of his rituals ultimately backfired, trapping him into a transitional state between Human and Daemon.
His ability to shape-shift from one form to the other eventually got discovered by his mother, who feared the oppressive discrimination of their society. She sent him away in her despair, far to the obscure edges of their continent.
Now forcibly drafted into the ranks of the Goetia Hunters, he constantly suppresses his nature whilst fighting against demonic forces—walking on a thin line between life and death with each passing moment.
