Oberon's father is EROVIM NYVAN, an aasimar and CEO of Sacrosanctum Ent. Inc., the no.1 entertainment industry mogul in the Coil.
Oberon's connection to his father was unknown to the public until very recently when rumors started to fly with Oberon's very flashy performance in the continent-wide broadcasted tournament, the 256th instance of the Offering of the Laurels (specifically sightings of Erovim's entourage post-tournament).
[More backstory will be unlocked as campaign progresses]

BIOGRAPHY
Kivom is the #1 most wanted criminal among all dwarven folk across the continent of the Coil, and one of the top wanted criminals in Asbria (and most other countries).
While not a secret, few know their given name Kivom Greenstone, (mostly law enforcement and government officials). Most colloquially know them as the Cardinal Hammer, or the Cardinal, the inspired leader and de factor head of the faction and way of life of the BLOOD CARDINALS / BLOODY CARDINALS.Born in the above-ground dwarven settlement of EAST KIZIL, Asbria (between Fort Iresar & Verdigris Mine), Kivom was quiet, stoic, hardworking, and thick-skinned even as a child.
These traits served them well, since they were born without stone sense, and a stronger elvish look than their mother who was ¼ elf.
Despite provocations or exclusions (called "sabrak" (flawed) by elder dwarves and "wurgym" (ugly thing) by children), they remained unbothered.
Kivom's serious presence and commanding aura when they did choose to talk earned him respect from non-dwarves, and they slowly gained respect from other dwarves over the years as well.They trained extensively in masonry and stone craft to make up for their lack of stone sense, but chose carpentry & woodwork as their trade, on top of training in weaponry with their signature warhammer, as well as crossbows and daggers.Kivom was drawn to "A consumption, returned" the god of war, battle, lovers, and passion, from a young age.
The few times anyone could see a real passion light up their eyes was when they talked of their beloved god.
On Kivom's 50th nameday, they took up their warhammer and swore a sacred oath to start a holy crusade: to beget an eternal cycle of spilled blood in the Coil as a conqueror, until the Consumption overtakes the lands.Within a year, they converted a good number of dwarves, humans, and other races in the area.Their first act of war was to wipe out their own home of East Kizil, and kill their own parents, whom they loved and respected, as a passionate sacrifice and declaration of their eternal devotion to their god.The Blood Cardinals faction was birthed from this first major act of carnage.
Afterwards, Kivom traveled across all regions of the Coil to spread their holy crusade and convert any many as possible to live in the passionate & violent moment.
(They have had the most success with goblins, orcs, and humans, and can speak goblin, orc, common, & dwarvish)
They will often spend time cultivating a following in an area, anywhere from a few weeks to even a year or two, and then lead an attack they deem will cause the most destruction.Kivom is indiscriminate in their target ; their crusade sometimes wipes out peaceful villages, while other times destroys the wealthy fortresses while slums are left untouched.To the Cardinal Hammer, every kill is a holy offering and every life taken is a prayer of devotion.Kivom usually keeps a handful of those from specific demographics alive: children, a member of a family unit, one person in a partnership, and any well fought warriors; they hope to foster more vengeance fueled individuals, thereby creating more conflict, all in the name of the Consumption.
They hope that one day at the end of their life, one of these individuals will claim their own life, a final sacrifice from them to their beloved god.
Despite the atrocities committed and numerous enemies, they seem well loved & protected by a consumption, returned.Up until the start of the Baddies Inc. campaign, they have never once been defeated or caught, though they have retreated in battle before (strategic retreat is necessary in order to continue the Consumption's campaign).Kivom is feared & scorned by most dwarvenkind; some blame their mixed blood heritage for their war crimes. There are a few dwarves on the extreme who see Kivom as revolutionary, living with piety and their own version of honor.

MISC

Baraz Alagh: red battle-glory/valor (the name of Kivom's warhammer)
Kazak-ur-da'ukraz: war of the greatest glory (what Kivom calls their personal crusade)
Vlandranna alagh: Gods grant [approval, etc.] battle glory.
Dwarvish epithets

Dwar-athuld (dwarf bane)
Mebelkdwar (elf-dwarf - from mebelkhags for elf)
Beldaradwar (treacherous dwarf, from beldarak)

■■■■■■■■■■■■
Kivom is worse than "calassabrak" (the dishonored & shunned), what criminals are normally called.
They are the first dwarf to be called "dwar-noror" (dwarf enemies) or "dwar-athuld" (dwarf bane)
Supporters of the Cardinal Hammer, & those who grudgingly see their piety as inspiring, sometimes call them "Hamarrorn".

BIOGRAPHY
Eli is the younger stepbrother to the current leader of the Kuno clan (OSTREDD KUNO), Pallantine City's largest and most powerful rogue guild.
Eli was an accident from a one night stand. His birth mother begrudgingly met Eli's basic needs until she happened to run into Eli's birth father MARWAN NASEER on the streets, and dumped 3 year old Eli with him on the spot (Eli has very little memories of her, and has no desire to reconnect with her).Marwan was a prettyfaced good-for-nothing manwhore who would've also ditched Eli; thankfully for Eli, Marwan was to marry the widowed head of the Kuno clan at the time, EALIF KUNO, who had taken a shine to Marwan's looks. Since he was to be a trophy husband, he graciously decided to bring Eli as his +1 into the family.Eli manifested his soulknife abilities when he was 4, and Marwan decided to push Eli to enter the potential line of succession of the leader of the Kuno clan.
Ealif had no issues with this since the Kuno clan's overall philosophy for leadership was whoever was most qualified for the position. Ealif took an interest in Eli as well since Eli showed great potential as a rogue and tried to help him, ironically becoming a better parent to Eli than Eli's biological parents in the process.
Eli eventually had a total mental breakdown at age 15, from Marwan's intense pressuring. Ealif stepped in and made Marwan give up his ambitions. Marwan effectively disowned him, but no one important in the Kuno family did, so Eli remained a Kuno and spent the next few years recovering; he now lives a hedonistic life of laziness and pleasure, while carrying out the occasional missions his older stepbrother Ostredd forces him to go on
