Backstory
Karsis was born with a rare ability, though many, including his father, would call it a curse. Every night, he transforms into his beast form, and afterwards has little memory of what transpired. Fearing the damage he could cause, he was locked up nightly, where he could do no harm. His parents always kept his ability a secret, afraid knowledge of it would ruin their reputation.

His father, fearing the curse brought misfortune upon the entire family, always kept Karsis at arms length, and was cold to him. His mother loved him fiercely and never agreed with his father on Karsis' ability. There were stories of others with his ability in her family's history, and she thought it was a gift that should be expressed. His father was noble born, though, and she had been born a commoner, and his father's opinion won out.

One fateful night while his father was away, a group of bandits decided to raid the Albrecht estate, believing it to be uninhabited. Karsis was helpless to intervene as they ransacked the place. When the bandits found his mother there, they panicked, not realizing there were witnesses, and killed her before fleeing. When his father returned, angry and grief-stricken, he cast out Karsis, blaming the boy for not being able to help. His father forbade Karsis from returning until he had found a cure for his condition.

Now, he travels the land as a wandering bard, searching for rumors of anything that could help him.
