Delim Arescotti

-- [Quote source]

Charming, devilish, and ambitious, Delim is a seasoned exorcist from the declining nation of Zustan. Unafraid to get his hands dirty, he clawed his way out of poverty via less than scrupulous means, and hasn't looked back since. The art of banishing spirits is dangerous but honest work, and now he seeks to train his brother in the field, hoping to provide a better life for the only family he has left.

Backstory

The Arescotti siblings hail from a world called Alaia, after the world-goddess of the same name. It's a place where magic suffuses everything, spirits intermingle with humanity, and mortal life is all too often cruel, brutal, and short.

Born into desperate poverty, Delim's early years were not ones he cares to remember. When he was twelve, his mother ran off with a John to start a new life — one that didn’t include her children. She sold him and his brother for a pittance, and the siblings were quickly separated.

Delim remained at the brothel he'd been raised in, taken on as cheap menial labor to do the cleaning, cooking, repairs, or whatever else was asked of him. The work was hard, the hours long, and the pay barely enough to cover his meals, let alone provide an education or an escape. Ultimately, it was these circumstances that lead him to take up his mother's line of work at far too young an age.

Things looked grim for Delim, but unbeknownst to him, a mysterious benefactor had taken an interest in him. The man who would become his mentor had recognized a latent talent in Delim for his craft.
