A once prestigious line sell-swords and soldiers, the Solis house fell into disarray to the undead of the Abyss with the rest of the Westerlands from whence they hailed. The massacre that occured - in the time of Leviticus' forefathers, no less - wiped out the family's patriarch and most of his sons with it, leaving only a handful of those bearing the name Solis to find refuge in Johannesberg, the capital of the once mighty Orenian Empire. Solis' father, Adilard, was but a boy when the day of the Thanium came, the final nail in the coffin of the then crumbling kingdom of man, ending not only the dominance of man over the continent of Axios, but also all but he in the Solis line. A orphan without homeland, the man came to find work as a thief, a scoundrel hightailing between the remnant capitals of humanity in the wake of civil war. It was in the land of Atlas, then, that with great cunning Adilard made a lowborn woman of Santegia his wife and on the 8th of the Sun's Smile, 1649, Leviticus was born. Soon after, the brigand did return to his earlier ways of brigandry, abandoning she and his newborn son. Distraught, without respect nor appropriate funds to raise the babe, Leviticus' mother took her own life, leaving the boy in the care of wandering Monks of the Canon, inheriting only his surname and the extravagant image of the Solis line falling with the Westerlands the monks had regurgitated to him. Now a righteous young man, Leviticus lays the blame of his dire circumstance with the unliving and unsavoury of yore, seeking only to reclaim his family's status through a personal crusade in the name of his God.
