A Warrior of the Sindar, of noble blood and high renown, he was 630 years old when he left his city, Hobas Methenost on the southern coast, to follow his Prince into exile. Journeying north-east into the wilderness with a small band of their Kin, they settled in the place they named Morn Sigil. Their peace there did not long endure, for enemies had followed them. The young Prince was the first to die, struck down by a hidden foe, and one by one his Warriors too were slain.
Kharas First Sword was the last to fall. But his cousin Elenbarathi, the Clan's Bard and healer, would not accept his death. She wove a magick beyond her strength into the Lament she made for him, and followed his spirit into the Grey Waste, the death-realm, to sing him back. She did not succeed, and was trapped herself by the spell she had made, doomed to exist as a memoryless ghost... a dream whisper on the wind.
Five centuries passed, and then the sad ghost met V'soul, the Master of the Castle of Platinum in the plane of Limbo. Because of him, the spell was fulfilled: Elen regained her corporeality, but did not know that within the Black Keep of the death-realms, her slain Kinsman also woke and lived again. He tried to fight his way past the soulless guardian of the gate, but as he did so, the chaos-forces of Limbo warped the magick. Kharas was first merged with his unliving opponent, then split into two beings: one physical but without speech or memory, who staggered through the iron gate and was lost... one a grey wraith, left behind in the dark Citadel of Dust.
It was long before the two met again... longer before the death-warrior who had become part of them was defeated. V'soul's servants, the mysterious entities known as the weavers, constructed a second body from the pattern of the original, and thus the two halves of the spirit of Kharas became two separate individuals: the soul-twins Duathir and Crist~Erui. But for reasons of their own, the weavers altered the two, giving them abilities they had not possessed before... abilities that they are only now beginning to discover.
Duathir and Crist-Erui have recently discovered that there is a third: the ethereal being they call Celebásídh
