History: Shax was born into a poor family. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Wizard, to bring honor to her family’s name. When she came of age, she applied for a position with her town's local guard, looking to work her way up via merit and eventually become a Wizard in service of a powerful lord somewhere. She found a children's book about a Tiefling Wizard who fought for good and justice and never realised it was just a child's story.
