Personal History

Hiram is a twenty-four year old man whose mother was a prostitute and whose father is unknown. His sister Adelle is a thirteen year old girl from the same mother, whose father is known but wanted nothing to do with her. Several months into his mother’s second pregnancy, Hiram began to experience fragmented feelings and thoughts that were not his own. When his sister Adelle was born, Hiram matched her first cry with one of his own. Their mother died giving birth to her. After being bounced through foster homes for six years, Hiram simply left with his sister in tow, eking out a living on the streets in order to take care of them both. They found the library after their perhaps slightly dishonest methods of eking out a living brought unwanted attention, and a friend with connections to The Serpent’s Hand offered them a door to somewhere new.
Hiram tends to do all the talking, and Adelle rarely speaks to anyone but him. Hiram has a silver tongue, while Adelle prefers to stay unseen.
Hiram and Adelle experience many things simultaneously. If one is wounded, so is the other. If one is healed, so is the other. They also share emotions, though not completely, and can communicate with each other nonverbally in times of extreme duress.
