Santiago’s earliest memories were when he was 15, waiting on and serving the Order of Narisco, a Galician religious sect comprised of humans. These were devout followers of a deity they call “The One.” The order practiced a strict asceticism and trained diligently so that one day they would confront and overtake the Darkness. Santiago participated in this training as well, though his routines and education were often conducted apart from the rest of the brotherhood. The memories are vague, a haze of repeated activity day after day. At times there was a sense that a period of time had passed without him, but it was hard to tell as the monotony left little as a point of reference. Never the less, Santiago’s skills grew quickly, soon surpassing those of his teachers.
