Backstory/History
Born in a clan of hunters, Montre was raised with love and care. Being thought the art of hunting from a small age, his skills with the shortbow developed at a fast pace. Seeing the potential of his son, Montre's father decided to teach Montre to use a longbow and bought Montre a longbow as a present. Montre was really excited about the opportunity to wield a longbow that, when he was allowed to try it out, he confidently tried to pull the string to it's farthest point but failed, hurting his hand in the progress. His father could not help but laugh at the struggle of his son, but a quick stand off from his mother, made his father silent. Since then, Montre practiced to use the longbow each day and became more used as the weeks passed.

However, there were always some doubts at how it was possible that he could be so skilled with a bow, at such a young age. His parents, however, disregarded the doubts others had, saying Montre was destined to become a pro hunter. Regardless, the unthinkable happened when Montre aged 15, as his eagle-eye rune began to show on his skin. His parents were frightened and kicked him out. They did, however, let him take his bow, in case he needed to protect himself. Alone and abandoned, Montre ran away from the town he had lived in his whole life and escaped into the jungle.

When he was found by a group of travelers a few weeks later, he was underfed and had a fever, yet his distrust kept him from asking for help. The travelers, however, did not ignore his need of help and persuaded him in following them to their hometown. Afterwards it turned out that the travelers where members of a society that protects runebearers from the Empire. Montre has been living with them ever since, until he found out their real purpose. They weren't protecting the runebearers, they were keeping them for their own good. Angered, Montre left. He followed a group of other kids, also runebearers, to the magicians country. There he was told about his destiny and what the future had in store of him. Without revealing anyone, Montre was terrified. Why had he been chosen? Was there no one else that could take over his duty? He followed the rest of the kids, now being more friendly with them. He didn't really consider them friends, but he would use the term companions. After completing several trials, they were set up against Elder Cordarian.

After defeating Elder Cordarian in battle, Montre had changed. Doubt began to form in his heart. Was he really worth all this? Why was he a chosen one? He couldn't find the answer. Slowly Montre slumped into a depression, one that would change him from the happy, yet distrusting boy he was to a silent and cold hearted young man. He temporarily left everyone, wanting to be alone. He traveled across Mageia, or as far as he was allowed to do so, even though he knew that he was always under watch. After being away for 2 years, Montre came back with a new resolution; To complete his destiny.
