Bio:
Shingoku was born on the East Commonlands to a family of farmers and given the name Aerius after his grandfather. At the age of 2, during an especially vicious orc raid, his family's compound was destroyed and everyone was killed. Shingoku's mother placed him under piles of rags before she was killed as well. The muffled cries of the baby were not heard under the noise of the pillage and flames. A wondering monk returning to Freeport, named Xianxua, wondered upon the ruins later that night and nearly stepped on the pile of rags as he looked for survivors. He heard what sounded like a cat's meow, but in fact it was baby Aerius and Xianxua took him from this place and brought the ashen-faced child before his superiors at the Ashen Order Monk Guild in Freeport. The child was taken in by the Monks and adopted with the name of Shingoku. A strong and curious child, Shingoku learned the ways of the Tranquil and finally, at the age of 18, went out on excursions with other young Monk apprentices to hunt orcs (maggot folk as he called them). Upon receiving his first training sash, Shingoku vowed vengeance in the name of his slain family and the House of the Ashen Order.
