Long before the Black Sun returned, Elian Thorne devoted his life to studying the forgotten corners of history.

While most scholars dismissed ancient warnings as superstition, Elian searched relentlessly through ruined libraries, forbidden archives and lost kingdoms for evidence that the legends were true.

What he found changed him forever.

Hidden within ancient texts were references to a darkness older than any empire. A force buried beneath centuries of myth.

The Black Sun.

For decades Elian travelled alone, gathering fragments of knowledge scattered across the world. He learned forgotten languages, mastered ancient rituals and uncovered secrets many believed should never be revealed.

Unlike the others, Elian does not seek glory, power or adventure.

He seeks understanding.

Calm, patient and endlessly thoughtful, he serves as the group's guide through mysteries that would otherwise remain impossible to comprehend. Ancient wards, lost relics and forgotten prophecies are all part of his expertise.

Yet there is something unsettling about him.

At times Elian seems to know far more than he should.

Symbols that no living scholar can translate are familiar to him. Places he has never visited appear strangely familiar. Some wonder if his years of research have brought him closer to the Black Sun than anyone realises.

Despite these fears, Elian remains one of the group's greatest allies.

For he understands a truth few others do.

The Black Sun is not awakening.

It has been awake all along.
