Description: Axel was the only son of a failing kinship of Opheim. He was due to uphold the family’s profession of monster slaying. It took Axel one such trip with his father when he was fifteen or sixteen to know that killing beasts was not his calling. Since then, he did anything he could to avoid it, earning nothing but growing scorn from his parents. At the threat of being made kinless, Axel joined his father for one more hunt. During the hunt, he witnessed his father being violently butchered and torn to shreds. Axel managed to barely escape with his own life. This harrowing experience left Axel marked for the rest of his life. He openly refused to carry on the profession and instead found his release from reality in gambling, drinking, drugs and women. It's unclear what happened to his mother whether she left or died. Axel certainly doesn't speak of his parents.

His attempt on signing a partnership contract with Mannon and her family was to elevate his status, but also to have access to resources that would allow the now addictions, to continue. The plan failed and about a year after, when Axel was 25, he suddenly disappeared.

For the past years, he has been presumed to be dead. But his body has never been found.

► Show Spoiler

With Salem's help, Mannon more or less kidnapped and imprisoned Axel to remove him from the bigger picture. At first he was kept in the estate in a room that was masked with masquerade thanks to Salem. When Mannon moved to Nivenhain, she brought Axel with her and he was imprisoned in Salem's house. After Mannon started her own business, Axel was moved to be kept at the Parlour without Salem's knowledge.

Axel is kept alive, but unable to speak and either continuously drugged or kept within an illusion of Mannon's choosing.

Hello, Mannon! Thank you for submitting this NPC! There's a point of clarification that's needed before we can proceed with the approval of Axel.

1. For the sake of lore integrity, the nature of his disappearence needs to be written-up somewhere on his sheet. You're most certainly allowed to have an air of mystery about your NPCs IC, but all the information available on them must be included in their write-ups. I'd like to propose a spoiler section with information that's not publicly known IC, somewhere in the description area of the write-up.

Let me know when this has been addressed, and we'll proceed to the next steps!

Build to last,
Ruin.
