Long ago, the gods battle for supremacy, carving out areas of the planet within which they had absolute power. The one industrious god or group of gods, no one knows which, created humans. To the waring deities, they were an interesting, but fragile, diversion. The deities instead formed pantheons which split up the various domains between multiple deities, and the world stabilized, as the various parts of the planet were no longer dominated by a single, or group of domains.
Soon the humans began to worship these deities as the ones who gave them live and protected them from the harsher aspects of the world, and the gods discovered that within the humans remained a spark of the divine power which created them. When they devoted themselves enough to a deity the humans developed a “Divine Blessing,” a deep magic which tied them to a particular deity, giving them abilities similar to that deity. In time the gods discovered two other ways to give humans the Divine Blessing. The children of a god and a human automatically got it, and a person would gain it if a deity drew a certain magical signal on the human.
Those with the blessing gained runes across their body, the symbol of the deity on their hand and other, arcane deep-magic symbols across their bodies. Any god or human with the Divine Blessing can sense the others with this magic, but it is hidden from the mundane humans by the will of the bearer.
For thousands of years the gods have been at a relative peace with each other, but something has arisen to threaten that peace. A new group of Divinely Blessed humans has arisen, calling themselves the rogues and targeting other Blessed humans. They are claimed by no god, but wage war on all gods. For this reason, most of the gods have banded together to try and put an end to these rogues. We are one of the groups the combined forces have put together, newly Blessed humans who were ordered to locate the rogues and to give the gods the knowledge they need to end them.
This takes place in a medieval society.

History/Bio: He grew up as the son of a merchant, working a stand which made and sold medicines of various kinds. His father even taught him how to read and write, and how to make poisons, which his father told him to be careful who he revealed that skill to. He spent much of his time in the temple of Hecate, goddess of herbal medicine and poisons. One day a woman approached him, and questioned him as to whether he was serious in his devotion. When he said yes, she revealed herself and touched his chest, writing runes upon his skin. When he woke up and few minutes later, he had a torch tattooed on his hand, though when he wished to hide it, it disappeared. "You are now my servant." the woman said, "for I am Hecate." She taught him to use his new power, then sent him to meet another group of people who had been blessed by other gods.
