Character Background

While living, Daedil Shadowhisper, who referred to himself as Random, appeared human, though his tastes were ... sorted. Often attired in decorative robes of crimson or mousy gray, he formally wore the insignia of the Paladins of Krynn~Rs Pantheon of Magic, though in the final times of his stay in Arangoth, was decorated as a Royal Knight, at which time he included an Arangothian stamp along his breast. At times he was known to carry weapons, though just as often found showing importance to something as trivial as a slingshot (which, knowing him, was often just as dangerous). In the later days of his life, when the fragility of his mind was shattered by the tortures of a sadistic lich, his cheerful approach at a humorous existence turned dour, and his comedic antics were inclined to be more malevolent.

His Own Words

This is a past interview between Random and myself (when I actually played through him, of course):

"Well people, here's the one on one chant about yours truly, Daedil Shadowhisper, AKA Random, Paladin of Lunitari, mage and illusionist of no small repute, and current Court Jester of Queenie ((That's AngelSin by the way. Oh yeah, and of course, I'm here to edit through this babble.)) To start, I'm a Tiefling, a plane touched human ((Yeah, touched, the word I know that I was looking for)). My family started off on this pretty lamely insignificant world ((in other words: Krynn. And is it me, or does "lamely" not look like a word?)) My folks were ushered off of Krynn when this chick they worshiped, sort of like I do now, warned them of some big storm...or something ((Ever hear of the Cataclysm that wrecked Krynn? "Big storm" my ass.)) So, they were whisked away to Elysium. I was yet to be born at the time, but I remember my sister telling me stories of it. So, they set up house on Elysium, my parents must have been pretty happy, cause they had me. A little late in my opinion, but oh well. Turns out that my father, Kylus Mystimere, ((not to be confused with Kylus Dragonsbane, the priest of Paladine)) had a problem with a Lich Lord. Visiting Sigil ... the problem? Oh, who knows, same thing happens to me all the time, people get mad at me for no reason at all. Oh well, go fig. ((Yeah. Maybe it's genetic.)) There was a battle between my parents, the Lich and his legion of vampires ((hence Daedil's inner hatred of vampires)). After a long struggle, they claimed the souls of my father, mother, and sister. Lunitari herself, saved me from the carnage and took me to safety back on the silly little planet ((*ahem* Krynn)). Yeah ...whatever ... she took me back to KRYNN ... better? ((Much, thanks)) and she summons the greatest of KRYNN's mages, swordsmen, and knowledge-type people that KRYNN had to offer ((ok, you can stop saying Krynn like that now)). KRYNN, KRYNN, KRYNN, KRYNN, KRYNN!!! Hehehehe. ((See what I go through?)) One of the mages who taught me was a cute princess-chick of the Huldrefolk. She and I had this sort of fling kind-of thing ((with Lunitari's disapproval)) and so ... soon after my 24th year of life, we were to be married. Neat, huh. After exploring a library that I had yet to venture into, I ((Wait a moment. And just why hadn't you been in this one before, hmmm?)) Well ... ok ... so I wasn't supposed to be there. Anyway, so I ((That's what I thought)) " will you shut up?!? It's my story!!! ((Oh. Sorry.)) Grrrr. I found this log that mentioned more of the story of my family's demise. It told that the lich held my family's very souls within his grasp, sounds melodramatic, doesn't it, and there was but one thing that I could do. (Imagine a heroic tone of voice here.)) That night, I prepared to return to free my family. I told only Rhayne, my soon-to-be wife. Thinking we were never to see each other again, we broke our vows of celibacy, therefore, bringing Darius De`Witten into the world. ((So in other words, you did the same thing your parents did when they were "happy to get to Elysium"?)) Will you be quiet! I'm trying to have a serious moment here! ((Oh, sorry again.)) I left the next day, only to be swatted down by the evil lich and his minions. Captured, I was tortured for what seemed to be an eternity. ((Side note: it was nearly 300 years of torture before the Lich threw him into Limbo after he "was bored with the screams of the mortal", and another note: the endless torture highly attributes to his insanity)) Excuse me...I prefer "sanity challenged" myself. ((Whatever gets you through the day)).

I wandered the planes in confusion, developing my magic and powers against the creatures that dwell there. And, interestingly enough, while in Limbo, I saw the most interesting battle. Of which I included a picture. ((The High On Morphine Potty Trainers versus the Chia-Hippopotamus. Needless to say, this wasn't the thing that little fragment of sanity needed to prosper.))

Since the time of this "interview," quite a bit has changed. Well, for one, Daedil is dead. Everyone thinks that, at least, but we all know that the things that irritate us the most will never die. After freeing the souls of his family from their prison, the lich followed Daedil to Arangoth, where his tormented lack of sanity withered further, resulting in a somewhat suicidal spree across the kingdom. Daedil was last seen with the other Paladin-Magi, Dayna of Nuitari and Skylar of Solinari, and his adopted brother. When captured for an assault against the Queen, Raistlin Majere was the last to speak to him, and indeed the last to see him alive before his apparent "magical suicide" left his body cold in the prison cell. Other things never fully revealed about him was his magically vampiric nature, leeching away magical energies from other magi and unnatural forces to fuel his own, and the outcome of his son, Darius De'Witten, who was also, at one time, thought to be dead. But he came back, too, didn't he?
