History
Vivek Sandhound was born as the illegitimate child of a celibate nun of a Hallowdom sisterhood, Chandra, who had been seduced by a drow rogue, Aodhán, who had coincidentally been hiding within the city of Aracadha and had romanced the young woman so as to secure a place of shelter; her home and residence. Chandra had left with Aodhán as she entered the more evident stages of pregnancy, seeking a new life and home within the outskirts of Alhassal so that she would be able to stay with both her lover and raise her child without fear of being executed for her treason against the church and humanity.

Eventually Chandra was discovered by the Inquisition of the and executed, her home razed to the ground while Vivek slept through the massacre, managing to avoid being found by the Inquisition by Chandra's own efforts.
