CHARACTER HISTORY: Adrian Maddison ‘Dûrion’ Schiffer, only son of Idhrenion and Adlanniel Schiffer. Idhrenion was a well known man of the community, not only because of his wise words and honest counsel but because he was beloved by the people. The man was a general during the war that had past and had brought glory and justice to his people and community. Along with his wife Adlanniel, they both were highly spoken off in their community. Adlanniel was loved by many women also for her gentle nature and compassion for other. A stranger, A Seer, had passed by their community and had foreseen Adlanniel's pregnancy. However, the Seer spoken to them that the child will not inherit any trait of its parents. Idhrenion was wise, patient, loving, and passionate about life while his wife was caring, gentle, and compassionate for everything. The Seer told them that their young will also bring about death to them if it comes. The child would be cold, a bit cruel and apathetic to everything around him and because of it, the child will grow up to be dark and bitter. Both Idhrenion and his wife did not take heed of the warning and when their son, Adrian or Dûrion in their language came, Adlanniel passed on soon after, too weak to carry on.
Idhrenion had never blamed his son for the passing of his beloved wife but was stern in his discipline with the boy. Adrian grew up in the mids of war and chaos. Every boy had to be train to the best of their skills and it placed more pressure on Adrian as he was the son of the King's general. Growing up, it was not a secret to Adrian that he was the cause of his mother's death but it was never spoken off whenever he was around. But he knew people spoke of it when they thought he was not listening. Adrian had learned, at a very young age, that whatever goodness you do, it will be forgotten when you make an error. Both humans and creatures will never remember the goodness but the bad and the errors. With his father's strict discipline, Adrian studied more than others, trained longer than others, and not once did he complain. He was thrust in a community that pushed him to the edge of perfection and he them aimed for perfection.
At the age of eleven, as all young males do, Adrian was sent to a school that would train him to his very bones. In the school, he was scorned and rejected by many for his coldness and uncaring nature. There was not a day in Adrian's life that he was not told about how different he was from his father and his deceased mother. There was not a day that he was not reminded that his existed caused the death of his mother. But as he already trained himself, he tuned them all out and did not give a care.
Ten years in the school and Adrian graduated at the top. He bested even the old ones when it came to power and knowledge. Adrian was praised for his achievements and was a prodigy that had never been seen for the last two hundred years in their community. However, despite the achievements and praises, Adrian was still stared at and secretly scorned by his peers for being overly smart and showing off as most would call it. Again, he paid them no mind. For Adrian, they are of no entity in his world and that was what mattered to him most. His opinion of himself and not of others.
His father had been proud of him and had seeked his counsel the moment he had returned home. Idhrenion had not at all been surprised when his son had returned cold, aloof, and more distrusting than before. It was then that he remembered the words of the Seer many years ago. That his child, his beloved Adrian would not be anything like him or his departed wife. When the ceremony of giving their sons and daughters their third names, Idhrenion had thought about it for many a days. His son, though as Light as he and his clan was, had a dark soul. A dark heart that was void of all emotions even to him. Thus Idhrenion had named Adrian 'Dûrion', meaning 'the dark one'.
Upon the ceremony, it had dawned on everyone that now, Adrian was a man, his golden eyes pierced though them and stared at their souls. Anyone who would look at him back would often feel that Adrian was looking into the deepest secrets in their hearts. Many had avoided him and would often try to not be in the same room as him.
The war had waged and ended. Adrian and his father had survived and their community as well. It was then, when Adrian had reached twenty-six, that he packed and moved. He had told his father that he would travel for a while and see what the world had to offer. Two years and Adrian had found himself in England more specifically, Hogwarts. It had different kinds of creatures and even those who did not do well with others. But Adrian had stayed for it had given him sanctuary and the peace of mind that he had been searching for.
