He's on the search for his father, who was forced to leave his son as a child because he was persecuted by narrow-minded bigots, and my character is on a mission to pledge his loyalty to him, as the man who gave him life, and return him to his dying mother so she can see him one last time before she slips the mortal coil.

Funnily enough my next character actually is going to be a dhampir, a ranger for 5e Curse of Strahd. Here's her backstory:

>SOFYA FALKONICHNA ORONOVA
>The Oronov family were servants of the vampire lord Nikolaj Ivanov for centuries, and Sofya’s mother, Alada Sergichna, was preyed upon by the family’s vampire lord while Sofya was still in the womb, resulting in Sofya’s birth as a dhampir. Sofya grew up in fear of depredations of Lord Ivanov, watching him kill or turn much of her family, including both her mother and father, but she herself was spared numerous times, deliberately. Eventually Lord Ivanov was driven into retreat by servants of the Church of Ezra, and the few surviving Oronovs liberated. Sofya became a devout Ezran follower, and vowed to slay vampires wherever they lay.
>• “A monster that slaughtered dozens of innocent people spared my life, and I don’t know why.”
>• “I don’t talk about the thing that torments me. I’d rather not burden others with my curse.”
>• “I expect danger around every corner.”
>• “I’m a monster that destroys other monsters, and anything else that gets in my way.”
>• “There is evil in me, I can feel it. It must never be set free.”
>• “I assume the worst in people.”
>• “My greatest fear is giving in to my vampiric bloodline.”

I'm intentionally trying to be as edgy as possible.

I was about to make a joke, but then realized that a backstory is, quite frequently, a miserable little pile of secrets.
