Biography: Born and raised on a dense city planet, Kerion grew up as an assassin. Taking out powerful syndicate leaders, much of the crime syndicate came to know his call-sign: Shadowdancer. Manipulating the shadows themselves to distract guards and sentries as he went, no target escaped his voulge and staff, Longinus and Decerius.
Knowing full well that Nisorin could be the death of them, when he arrived on the planet Kerion was assigned as the assassin. Stalking for several days, he finally found his chance while Celestie was showering. Making his move, he covered the lights in shadow, sending the room into darkness as Kerion darted in, using his magic to enable his own sight. After the first attack, which has only missed once, he noticed that his target had disappeared. Then he felt the swords against his neck and spine. "Assassins are only as good as their employer. He wastes your skill. Allow me to free you from him." Nisorin said, uncovering the light as he pulled the blades away.
"I would be honored to serve he who defeated me."
During the migration, he trained with many of the most difficult simulations, several of which were Ancient Relorian consciousnesses downloaded directly into the simulator. This has enabled him to train with some of the greatest minds of the ancient civilization, which has improved his stealth and martial abilities by leaps and bounds. His time on the megalith, and the journey to it, was not all work however. Kerion and the psionicist Jade Tempora had become more than friends in the battles along the way, saving each others lives on many occasions. Shortly before the start of Season 4, they got married, the Orias ceremony used as their vows. They are now stage one Orien, and their magic/psionics skills have been augmented accordingly.
After the Plexan War, Kerion departed on a solo journey. He'd encountered an unexpected part of himself during the later portions of the war, consumed the darkness, fed upon it. Intrigued by this newfound power, he set out into the Negative plane, seeking out remnant pockets of Plex' energy. The negative energies of the plane have changed him, bit by bit. His sanity as only been preserved by the efforts of his Orien partner, Jade. He has become faster, more physically powerful and agile. His spells have become stronger, faster and often quieter. He has learned to hide himself in the shadows, travel between them and manipulate them into powerful weapons. He often muses about these newfound skills, wondering what sort of cost his training has enacted upon him. Still he searches for information about and fragments of Plex, ever wondering about the strange people who had confronted him after Plex' destruction.
