Escaan

Escaan is a 19 year old Shadow Person who lives in the 136th century.

Early Life
Escaan was born in the residence of Father along as part of a batch of triplets. As an infant, his two siblings were either given away or sold and his remaining family moved into a Shadow Person shantytown. He spent the next decade beaten by his father and starved. There was no food in or around his home, forcing him, his family and his neighbors to fight over nearby roadkill and scraps from dumpsters. More than once, he had nearly been killed over unusually small amounts of nourishment. When he was ten, his father's abuse became so violent that Escaan was forced to kill him. Ever since then, he has held possession of the knife his used to stab his father to death.

When he was fourteen, a mysterious shapeshifter broke into his home and slaughtered his mother and little brother. Escaan survived the attack, but just barely. Before he had even healed properly, he began his search for the shapeshifting murderer. During the three years that he spent searching, he was told that the killer was a man named Zato.

Meeting the Gang
One day while he searched, Escaan overheard fighting and arrived on the scene just in time to see a shapeshifter named Noctis. upon further investigation, he learned that Zato had just taken part in the fight. Soon, he and Noctis were attacked by the murderer, but quickly fought him off. Noctis then told him about a Shadow girl within a nearby abandoned building that he was protecting. Escaan decided to go and help her, knowing that she was probably scared and lost. After a bit of a chase, he and Noctis tried to calm her down while keeping watch to make sure that Zato wouldn't come back. the killer attacks again, injuring the girl. Eventually, through strange circumstances that Escaan never understands, Zato actually takes the girl to a hospital.

Escaan follows them to the hospital. During his time, he donated much needed blood to the girl, who he now knows as Ibezil, and confronted Zato once again. But this time, he did not attack the killer. For a reason that he could not explain at the time, he begins to feel protective of Ibezil. Soon, he was protecting her at every turn, always staying nearby so that she would be safe.
