Titus was born and raised in the Kingdom of Anavio, at a young age he was brought up being taught unarmed and armed combat to protect himself as there were constant patrolling bandits around the village Titus lived in. These bandits acted as guards against monsters but stole and harrased people in the village, eventually killing Titus' parents, forcing him to live alone. Eventually, the village was tired of being pushed around at created a secret order of elite guards known as the Black Guard, the Black Guard wear a black set of armor known as Leather-Chain, a technique of weaving chainmail rings inside leather which is both light and more protected. At the age of 14, Titus was already quite proficient in both the sword and hand to hand combat, in which he signed up as an initiate to the Black Guard to help combat the bandits, in the initation, he was injected with Falcon blood to increase his eyesight, speed, reaction times, and strength. He was given the Black Guards' standard equipment; a hidden Hookblade, a hidden blade, Enchanted Leather-Chain armor, an enchanted steel sword, and throwing knives, he trained for years as the Black Guards grew (as the amount of bandits were quite large) into a secret and elite order.

When Titus turned 18 years of age, the bandits have grown to be more than the population of the village but the Black Guard was ready; thirty perfectly trained and strong in the skills of an Assassin. Titus rose through the ranks as a Captain of the Black Guard, thus he led the night assault on the bandits to drive them out of the village, though by this time at a Captain rank, he was equipped with two more hidden blades, a Cindequilla, and a hidden dart shooter. Titus and the Black Guard drove out the bandits, killing nearly all of them and making the village safe, thus returning peace to the village. The Black Guard served as the hub in the village (of Egalliv to be exact) and eventually were hired to become Elite Guards and Soldiers in the Kingdom of Anavio, now they are widely rumoured about and no one knows if they even exist or not, the saying goes, "If a black-clothed assassin were to enter the city, all should run and hide as he is the preacher of doom, of what is about to come." Mostly, this was the case as the Black Guard only appeared when terrible times and troubles arrived. Though, Titus served as an Elite Guard and Assassin for the Kingdom of Anavio, hired by the King (or emperor) himself to guard his Royalty and of course, to assassinate anyone whom came up.

Only a few monthes after becoming an Elite Bodyguard of the King (or emperor) of Anavio, Titus tapped into his magical reserves by accident and found himself in a world of darkness and shadow, having literally sunk into a shadow. After an hour of accidently using his Umbrakinesis, he went to go seek a mage to teach him about his new-found powers and train him in the Magical Dark Arts. Every hour he had, he trained with his mentor, learning to control his Umbrakinesis and using it in different ways, he continued this path until he was 24 years of age, having been allowed to retire from the service of His Majesty and having expertise in Umbrakinesis. An assassin with Umbrakinesis is quite deadly and not seen, but what to put his skills for? Titus longed for some sort of adventure and retired from the Black Guard, given an upgrade to his left gauntlet to allow a Hidden Gun to be in used as his retirement gift. Later, he joined the Order of Hunters, serving as an Assassin, Interrogator, and Scout. He is not to be underestimated under any circumstances. Thus, Titus' story begins only two days after he joined the Order of Hunters, walking through the door of the Inn for breakfest.

Black Guard

The Black Guard is a rumoured group of Elite Assassins and Guards who hail from the village of Egalliv, no one knows if they exist or not but are told that the Black Guard were the prophet of doom, as by the saying that is heard all around the Kingdom of Anavio; "If a black-clothed assassin were to enter the city, all should run and hide as he is the preacher of doom, of what is about to come." Almost every time a member of the Black Guard was seen, something tragic always happened, take the example of hell-ish beings overrunning the Theocracy of Hieledran, at the time of the overruning, not one, but TEN black-clothed assassins were seen a week before the demons overran the country. No one knows how the Black Guard is capable of knowing the future or what they are able to do, but everyone knows to run when a black-clothed assassin enters the city.
