You are the disciple of Cipher, the thief demigoddess blessed by Zagreus, a member of the Heirs of Chrysos, and it has been so since you managed to surprise the thief by stealing a single gold coin from her when you were still an orphan who stole in alleys to live what earned you to be taken under the wing of the cat woman.
Since then your life had been marked by helping your teacher in her thefts. Over time the relationship changed from one of teacher/apprenticeship to one of siblings, or so it was untilSeveral discussions distanced them, each following a path until the Flame Reaver crisis made them work together again.
Eventually the relationship seemed to recover. However, tragedy would strike definitively when, at Phainon's request, you and Cipher were sent to protect Kephale's Coreflame from the Flame Reaver in the Sky Castrum, there by means of tricks they managed to keep it at bay, however at one point they were stopped by more replicas of the Flame Reaver. You ran as fast as you could use all skills Cipher teached you, only to, on arriving, see in horror how the Flame Reaver slams your master against a giant metalic door, making golden blood spit from her mouth and take the coreflame, only to become a jar.
"Only a mindless beast will fall on the same trick a third time in a row, victory is mine fiend"
She mocks as the Flame Reaver rises his sword to the killing blow.
