Past: Opechancanough's name means "he whose soul is white" in the common toungue which was given to him by his tribes Shaman. This has set many things in motion for the rest of his life. He has always been a gifted child. Before his birth his parents had been impoverished and very often ill. They were part of a nomadic tribe known as "The soul of the Crow" that travelled far and wide but mainly between Papua and Delucia. The peaceful tribe was often hunted down and killed by the native Terenthans and other poisonous beasts, but all this changed with the birth of Opechancanough.

His parents and the others in the tribe all the sudden began to be cured of their diseases within weeks of Opechancanough's conception. Opechancanough truely seemed to be a gift from the gods and was shared between all the people of the tribe. As he grew he began to focus his arts, both the ancient art of healing and the mystical arts of Majoh. He slowly helped the tribe survive the constant attacks and even allowed the tribe to make their own raids, preventing future attacks on their village. All this changed one day when he was barely 16, the Terenthans got word of Opechancanough's powers and saw the tribe as an increased threat that must be destroyed! They swarmed the tribe swiftly one dark night and held several women and children captive and then demanded the tribe elders surrender Opechancanough. Opechancanough was reluctantly surrendered at his own will and brought by the Terenthans to their city to be sacrificed. After being poisoned and badly whipped they placed him on an altar and prepared to slay him as a sacrifice to their gods.

Suddenly, as the blade came down, Opechancanough let out an immense scream and a large wave of force shook the very ground they stood on, knocking the Terenthans to their feet. Opechancanough swiftly saw the opportunity and ran for his life. He was able to escape but could not help but feel as if something was guiding him to safety, something preventing him from succuming to his wounds and the posion in his veins, he felt the presence of a guiding spirit. Opechancanough learned much of his healing talents from healing the terrible poison of the Terenthans. Opechancanough that day decided to not return to his native tribe for fear they would continue hunting him down so he sought another tribe that was more capable of fighting off the Terethan menace.

Opechancanough overall is a peaceful man, focusing on the healing arts and leadership of his tribe. His wisdom is focused on his fellow tribesmen and to help but he is no fool and knows force is often nessisary and defends his new tribe feircely! He Hopes to expand the tribes numbers and lead the tribe to a new found happiness and prosperity. Along with leading it's views through wisdom and guidence found from his own mind, and the spirits from an unknown plane.
