Background
Ansel was born son of a duke in an elvish kingdom. He came of age during the time of the Great War. He witnessed the end of the war and establishment of the Central Alliance. Although he was not a part of those that went to the Valley of the Fallen Star to negotiate for peace with the Ageless Ones, he was called upon to fulfill the his duty in aiding the Great Banishing. He was also present when the Banishing happened and for the subsequent backlash that left his parents a pile of ash. Once across the threshold and in the Dark Aether he was burdened with the new task of helping protecting his kinfolk against the dark races.
Survival initially was very difficult as the mass of beings banished there caused a huge chaos that attracted demons and darker spirits. In time he connected with other Elven survivors and made a place for themselves in the hellish dimension. They founded the city of Daithr Indun. Life was tough especially in keeping their hunger at bay. Sometimes he had to look the other way when the people resorted to cannibalistic acts against slain enemies so they could stay their hunger.
The dark world had taken its toll on him over the long years he was there. He has no qualms about violence even though he did have an aversion to it before the banishment. He has mostly recovered his memories but remembering the good times is like reaching out to catch vapor for him. Subsequently he leads a bitter existence and easily falls into melancholy and suffers from night terrors. The changes extended to his appearance as he became paler in most all attributes.
