Biography
NOTE: I AM REVAMPING THIS

Midzyas was born to Herrah and her partner. Despite his heavy birth defects, he was still considered royalty of the Spider Tribe and was respected. He wandered off from Deepnest one day and found himself lost. Eventually wandering outside of Hallownest, he tried to return home, but The Infection had broken out and left him without any recollection of the path he went by.

Midzyas left Hallownest again and found himself at the outskirts of Pharloom. He was found and adopted one of the Citadel's guardians. He spent a lot of time with his adoptive brother, Archao, his cousins, Onyxshell and Sorrel, and his distant relative, Club. Within some time, most of his memories of Hallownest faded, and he embraced his new life in Pharloom.

Midzyas told his father that he wanted to be just like him when he grew up. His father began training him and his relatives in the art of being a warrior. His father gave him an old nail and began training him. Even though he struggled at first, with help from the other warriors in Pharloom, Midzyas became incredibly proficient in combat. Even at the presence of the strongest foes, he did not feel threatened.

Midzyas left Pharloom in search of stronger foes, before finding himself at the edge of Hallownest. Before going any further, he took a blade he found near the Colosseum of Fools and used that as his weapon instead of his old nail. After further exploring the Kingdom's Edge, slaying everything in his way, he found himself in the City of Tears. He felt a certain feeling about having arrived here, an almost nostalgic one. Still, he continued to explore, using his blade to cut down anything in his way. During this journey, he learned that the rattle on his tail concealed a stinger that possessed a deadly venom, and that he himself was not affected by this.

Venturing further into the City of Tears, Midzyas found himself in the Soul Sanctum. He was marveled by the enemies he found and happy he found a challenge. After fighting a Soul Twister and barely dodging its attack, a secret area had been revealed in the ground. Astonished by it, Midzyas jumped into the hole, finding himself in a library. He walked down the hall, finding a soul crystal. Grabbing the crystal, he felt a power fill him before he fell to black.

As Midzyas woke up, he felt power. He had rarely ever used his silk and leaving the Soul Sanctum was going to be one of those rare times. When he shot his silk, it wasn't silk he shot, but threads of pure, flaming, soul. He also had the ability to cast spells that he was never able to cast. He was now able to quickly destroy anything and everything in his way. As he left the Soul Sanctum, he felt some sort of nostalgic trail and followed it. He followed it through Fungal Wastes, eventually leading him to the Mantis Village. In need of an enemy to test his new powers on, he challenged the Mantis Lords. Having destroyed them rather quickly, the Mantis Lords gave him their respect, and Midzyas followed the nostalgic trail into Deepnest.

Continuing his journey, Midzyas readied himself for the beasts of Deepnest to pounce, but they never did, instead leaving him be. He was confused by this and wondered if he had a past in Deepnest that he forgot. Continuing to explore the area, Midzyas caught a glimpse of Hornet, not knowing her to be his sister. Despite being in a mood to fight, because the beasts of Deepnest left him, he would leave anyone and anything he saw alone unless they threatened him. Watching Hornet leave the area, Midzyas continued his journey through Deepnest, not knowing Hornet seemed to recognize him. As he continued his tread, he ran into a statue. Upon closer inspection, Midzyas saw that the statue looked like him. He then read the plaque on the pedestal.

Memorial to Midzyas Prince of the Spider Tribe Disappeared without a trace. He will be remembered in the souls of many.

That was when Midzyas realized that he was born to the Spider Tribe. This was the thing that he had forgotten when he left Hallownest years prior to this event. Upon exploring Deepnest further, he began to remember exploring the caverns as a child, spending time with his birth parents, and wishing to explore Hallownest further. After relearning his childhood, he promised to the younger version of himself that he would explore the entirety of Hallownest inside and out.

Months later, Midzyas had mapped out and explored the entirety of Hallownest. Having noted everything he saw, he finally believed it was time to return to Pharloom. On his way back, he went as far as to map the area between Hallownest and Pharloom. However, when he returned to the place he called home, Archao told him that their father had died of unknown causes. While he was shocked by this, Midzyas asked Archao the following question: "Am I adopted?" Archao, shocked by this question, reluctantly told him that he was adopted. Midzyas then said that he thought he was adopted, as discovered through his travels.

Devastated by his father's death, Midzyas went to the peak of the Citadel to fulfill the promise he made to his father - that he would be just like him. He then told the ruler of Pharloom that he wanted to become a guard for the Citadel. Accepting his request, a special suit of armor was made just for him, and a pale hammer was crafted for him. Upon accepting this fate, Midzyas was now known throughout Pharloom as the White Paladin.

Honoring his position as the White Paladin, Midzyas had slain anything and everything that threatened Pharloom. He had gained the respect of the whole nation and stood mighty for years. However, one day, as Midzyas was guarding the gates of the Citadel, he saw that one of the guards had enslaved Onyxshell into an eternity of service for the Citadel. Enraged by this, Midzyas began planning the ultimate betrayal. The first stage of this was heading to the local weaponsmith and commissioning him to craft specific weapons - an axe, two karambits, a mace-hammer, and a saber. After he received the weapons, Midzyas commissioned the armorer to make 4 suits of armor to fit his relatives, and some extra protection for him. After having received his weaponry and armor, he proceeded to return to Hallownest temporarily, and requested that a Snail Shaman enchant his weapons and armor. Accepting his request and enchanting them, he then left to do one final deed before his betrayal.

Exploring Pharloom in and out, Midzyas mapped out the entirety of the Kingdom before returning to the Citadel. Then came the time for him to unleash his inner wrath. He located and attacked every guard in the Citadel before freeing Onyxshell. He then gathered Archao, Sorrel, and Club, and led them to a secret area he had been working on for the years he lived in Pharloom, hidden behind a fake wall which only ones marked with a specific brand can pass through. After he led his relatives there, he proceeded to mark them with the Sagebrand and allowed them to pass through.

After entering the place that he now called home, Midzyas walked up to a statue he had carved in secrecy and put the White Paladin armor on it. He vowed to himself to never touch the armor again, as it was now a mere artifact to him. After taking time to rest, he gave the armor to his relatives and gave the saber to Archao, the mace-hammer to Sorrel, the karambits to Onyxshell, and the axe to Club. After giving them the weapons and armor, Midzyas had used the Sagebrand to allow them access to their new powers, special to each of them - Archao learning an ability called Flamesilk, Onyxshell learning the Soul Lunge, Sorrel learning the Cutting Edge, and Club learning the Spirits of Pride. The betrayal had gone exactly according to plan, and Midzyas sat on a nearby cliff and watched as the Citadel was at the verge of falling. Two new paladins were appointed, being the Black Paladin, a close replication of the White Paladin, and the Dream Paladin, a beast having taken a strange crest after an encounter in the Dream Realm. This crest was referred to as the Dreamweaver, functioning similarly to something called the Dream Nail.

(NOTE FOR PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH: In this reality, Pharloomians don't know about the Dream Nail.)

Years passed, and Midzyas began to sense a dark presence within Club, as he was beginning to turn against the will of the Bladesages. Eventually, Club fully turned against them and attacked Midzyas. Midzyas was shocked and fought back. After an incredibly violent battle, almost resulting in his death, Midzyas prepared a trap for Club, using his soul thread to create a trail. Club followed him, but as he came close, Midzyas threw his thread, creating a soul net, trapping him within it. Contact with the thread would result in whatever touched it combusted into flames, resulting in a chance of death, meaning there was no way for Club to escape. Midzyas then removed the Sagebrand from him and cut the soul net. Club immediately retreated to the Deep Docks and was never seen in the eyes of the Bladesages again. However, removing the brand didn't remove his power, and the Spirits of Pride became the Souls of Wrath.

Day by day, Midzyas rested in the Coral Forest, staying wary of the occasional "visits" from Lace and Sharpe whilst quickly defeating them when they came. One day, he unknowingly saw Hornet once again, vaguely remembering seeing her in Deepnest. Remembering his encounter with Nosk, he didn't trust her and immediately went on guard, believing it wasn't the real Hornet. As she approached closer, Midzyas took out his blade and prepared to attack. When she entered his arena, Midzyas's reflexes immediately triggered and he attacked her. After a long battle, Hornet defeated Midzyas. Beginning to realize that she may not be Nosk, he begun to theorize that she was brought to Pharloom against her own will. Regardless, he left for Greymoor, where he would await her arrival.

Resting in Greymoor, Midzyas cut down anything that would threaten him or Hornet. He didn't want her to die before encountering him again.
