History

Born into the noble family of Heiwa in Salsola, Krios started out life as the bastard son of Ondine Heiwa. His father, unbeknownst to him, was Lokr Revlis. His mother had a longstanding unrequited attraction to Lokr, which resulted in a tumultuous one-night liaison with a drunken Lokr at one of the lowest points of his life. While Ondine chose to keep the pregnancy, she did not reveal his identity until some time later.
Growing up, Lokr was a key figure to Krios despite the boy not knowing the man was his father. He was taught archery and other combat skills, eventually becoming the owner of Lokr's dragonhead bow. This early training and attention guided Krios on the way to becoming the Striker. He was at odds when Lokr was banished and his own paternity was revealed to him, though he was forced to go along with the pack-wide ostracizing of him. Lokr was labeled Pentiti and Krios continued to deal with the fact he was a bastard son of an even more noble line.
Krios was thrust into combat early in his life, well before his first year was over. Despite starting to learn offensive skills, he was caught unawares by Vesper in the unclaimed lands returning home. This resulted in minor injuries to both. More importantly, it precipitated into the Inferni-Salsola War. He was an active combatant during the war, sustaining minor injuries, killing none, but causing significant mayhem during the assault on Inferni to help Salsola divert enemy attention.

Wedding Vows by Songbird

When peace returned, Krios began to focus on developing his skills and his connections. He made friends with Kamari Kaiser, unexpectedly. She was of a significantly lower rank than she, but despite the odds, he decided he wanted to be friends. Krios was nothing if not obstinate.
The events leading up to Elphaba Revlis ascending the Thistle Throne did not seem to impact the undeclared bastard of Lokr. He continued to live as a Heiwa son until he oneday stumbled across Lokr's famed bow hidden in the cushions of his family's reading room. After he confronted his mother, he was told that Lokr was his father. Hurt, confused, he sought Elphaba to reveal to her that he was her half-brother. It started a series of moves by Elphaba to cause misery for her newly discovered half-brother, but nothing overtly hostile. Despite that, Krios held out hope that he might one day be closer to her as a connection to a part of his family that had been hidden from him.
Seeking to shackle her brother, Elphaba betrothed him to Kamari. It would further the gap between the two and Krios began to seek out ways to subtly irritate his half-sister in petty vengeance for causing such misery to his closest friend. It did not always work so well, but it was clear that the two were not close.
Kamari and Krios make the best of it, selecting a private home away from the bustle of the village. They try to work together and fight less, but Krios struggled to put aside his guilt when he suddenly realized his all-too-real feelings for his betrothed. It began to eat at him that he developed feelings for her when it was clear that she only considered him a friend, nothing more.
At the height of summer, 2018, Delfina Heiwa suddenly reports to O'Riley and Kamari in the middle of the night that Ondine was murdered in cold blood by her Outsider husband, Janik. While disbelief and suspicion rises, Krios descends into the grief of losing his mother, his only parent for so long, and struggles with the emotional challenges that came with the blow. Kamari becomes his comfort, somewhat, but their relationship continued to be splintered and tight at times as both were very prickly toward one another.
In an attempt to bolster spirits, Elphaba sets up the wedding she had threatened them with earlier that year. A grand party, grander than either of the two had seen, was set up to honor them and their marriage. After the quiet, intimate ceremony, the boisterous party was a good way to distract everyone. However, Krios and Kamari end the night bickering as always.
Krios nearly falls into the alcoholic fervor that led to his own conception - his father had been drunk when Ondine took advantage of the situation. Kamari helps him escape the pull of alcohol and he spends the autumn of 2019 focusing on his duties with the Inquisitors and protecting Salsola. His sister's disappearance en-route to the outpost leaves him frantic, but unable to seek her out, he considers her lost.

  2. Upon unholy ground we consecrate our church of sins
    For the first time ever, Krios and Elphaba have a meaningful and honest talk with one another.

    Lightheartedly, Kamari and Krios chase a deer through the woods, shooting it successfully.
