[edit] Early life
Two weeks after his birth, Lyonhart's parents were killed in a Dublin back alley by two members of the Gargantuan Sect. The unsuspecting child remembered nothing of his true parents, as their murderers adopted him in order to seize their riches. William's real name was unknown to him in his youth, as was his connection to the secret subterranean society called The Black Mage Order. At the age of seven, he was sent to an abbey in Lincolnshire, England as punishment for his violent tantrums. His life there took a turn because he was sexually molested by the priests. This event would be the cause of violent dreams and traumatic flashbacks all through his adulthood.
