The Legend of "The Howling Bat"
It began long ago, in a kingdom ruled by a powerful alchemist. The lord of the palace was a sly, and shady type. His only morality lied in his own decadence. As fate would have it, a young farm boy, by the name of Victor Kilgannon, had requested audience with the less than noble king. At the time, a terrible drought had plagued the land. No crop seemed prosper enough to feed an single person, much less an entire family. The young man, weaping at the presence of his lord, asked for his aid in assisting his family's survival. The king agreed without hesitation, but asked that the boy serve him in seeking a "medical anomaly". The boy was eager to oblige his king.

From that point on, the lad found himself in a plane of hell no one could imagine, nor should they. The expirements he had been subjugated under took a toll on his mortal body. Pain became his ownly acknowledgement. Pain which numbed him to his very core. His body became mutated, deformed beyond recognition. His appearance would later coin his title among the citizens as "The Howling Bat".

This torment was only yhe beginning, however. As expected, the king ordered his abilities to be tested routinely. His whole purposed served to cut from life, and strike fear into all that opposed the king. Rumors spread across the lands of a wolf, capable of flight, destroying entire villages in one night. With this kind of power, the king held a stern rule over all neighboring kingdoms.

After about twenty years of service, the lad requested to visit his family. What he would find out crumbled his world around him. Vexed by paranoia, the decadent king had ordered Victor's family to be executed as soon as he was imprisoned. This filled him with a rage that could ignite an entire armory. In this fit of rage, Victor had struck down the king. However, the king died with these final words, "As you live, you will never be free. You are now eternally cursed. As a free man, you will never roam the earth."
