Idris

Idris was the second brother in the line of succession to the House of Cortez in the city of Loriel. He felt like a cast-out from his family and became best friends with Seth of House Dolorien, who felt similar with his family. Once Seth turned 18, Idris and him ran away from home and temporarily joined a mercenary company in guarding a caravan headed north to the city of Evorim.

Once there, they decided to split from the mercenary company and strike out on their own. After checking into a local tavern, his friend Seth left with an elf. Finding this suspicious, he investigated but eventually gave up suspicion. He later came to regret this as he found Seth's body two days later in a nearby forest. He collected his dead friend and travelled back to Loriel to deliver the body and news to his family.

Seth's younger brother, Devin, helped Idris bury Seth's body in the family graveyard. Devin then proceeded to join Idris, against his mother's approval, in finding the elves that killed Seth. They both swore to avenge Seth.

On their journey back north to Evorim, and desperately needing money to continue their mission, Idris and Devin stopped in the town of Cardial and joined up with the local militia in an attempt to destroy a nearby bandit camp that has been plaguing the nearby countryside.
