Lore

Once a dark elf assassin, Maelstrom became something deadlier after a failed mission left him dying. The Dragonfly King offered him a second chance — rebirth as a hybrid creature, but stronger and sharper. Unlike the brute reavers, he retained his cunning, blending a predator’s instincts with an assassin’s honed skill. Now he fights to prove his worth, a relentless hunter bound by loyalty and purpose.
