"Lost again, Boris!?"
Stebanelos Carbuncle, Master of the Blackstone, Section IV of the Northern Steadfast Republic
Boris is a member of an order called the Blackstone, a druidic organization aiming to preserve and research the wildlife and environment in the Underground. They have several facilities around the continent and usually serve as the best guides and experts for hire regarding everything below the surface.
As a guide, Boris is supposed to know the best ways under earth, but he would rather stay with his books and has much trouble interacting with other people. Nevertheless, he thinks highly of himself and believes he was born to discover the greatest mysteries of the Underground.
Coincidentally, a few months prior he came across hidden clay tablets from old Tiefenland ruins. Inadvertently, however, Boris invoked the presence of an ancient devil. It presented itself to him in the shape of a bright-eyed, dark-skinned gnome, and offered to unlock his potential to the maximum so he could learn more than any other living Blackstone. The price: Boris' soul.
Since then, for many times has Boris regretted his choice. But he knows that, if he goes deep into the mysteries of the earth, he will find a way to bargain with the ancient devil again and win his precious soul back once and for all.
