Dear Fiona
Little is known about my kind, and even less is known about my language. Amphesus (Amf -E-us) is an old Wolven term for someone who attacks from the back. All hunting units have at least one Amphesus.
As Young Amphesus, me and by three of my wolf brethren used to hunt amongst the gilded trees, but local villagers insisted that we were not allowed on their lands, nor were we allowed to kill their animals. They enlisted the help of a mage to drive us out of our lands. He tracked us down to an abandoned temple. We fought for some time when he casted a spell on me. However the spell misfired. My body was that of a human and while by brother’s were dead, I could hear their voices in my head.
The Mage was ashamed by his tragic mistake, and either lacked the mercy or the common sense to kill me. Instead, he sent me on a ship to a faraway land. After quite a long trek, I arrived, beaten and broke to a large city. Vice and lust grew rampant in this city and I quick adapted. I used my skills as an Amphesus to murder people for money. I acquired quite the sum of money.
Now, what if I told you that you and the people of your fighting clan were the only people I every told this. You’ve hired me for quite some time, so I feel that we have at least some trust between us. However, I did not tell you this information for no reason. Frankly, I need your help.
I call you Coresus (Core-ious) for a reason. In my native tongue, I mean’s “killer” but it holds a different connotation. Coresusses always lead hunting units and usually attack head-first. I view as such and I hope you and your company will assist me in killing the mage that made me human. In turn, a quantity of 1000 gold be delivered to you once he is died, and more importantly, you will have earned my loyalty. I know you want people dead, maybe we can help each other out.
