Background information
Xholoatl was born in the Sulpheret Islands. He knew from a very young age that he was destined to be a Sorcerer of Tepok. As he grew older he learned the ways of using magic, and eventually went from being a mere Adept of Tepok to being a Sorcerer of Tepok. Around his 16th birthday, he fell in love with Arlyn Koboldguarder, a Pixie raised by the Lizardfolk Alliance. Shortly after they were married.
Around his 20th birthday, Xholoatl was forced to flee the Sulpheret Islands by using the Lizardfolk Alliance's last-ditch effort to escape the troubles happening there: The Floating City of Tlax. Unfortunately, that plan did not go well, and the city fell to the bottom of the ocean after the Druchii had raided it. Luckily all of the older Sorcerers of Tepok created an energy shield that kept the air inside the city despite it being underwater. Xholoatl escaped, along with many others, and eventually the city was left to stay submerged forever.
Once the Kobold Sorcerer got to Peridotia, he immediately started training and working on rebuilding what had been lost. There was not enough room left anywhere for a new town to be built, but to Xholoatl, Peridotia was the closest thing he could ever have to a home. He did buy a house in Swordsbane Village eventually, which is not far from Peridotia, but he doesn't use it much any more. Originally the house belonged to the famous Kobold hero Kroxoatl, who unfortunately died of old age and left the house to Xholoatl.
After a while, Arlyn came to Talus and found Xholoatl's house. They were finally reunited, along with their new child, Ankha-inzi. Xholoatl continued training and eventually became one of the most famous Kobolds in Talus. Several more children were born, including Kroxtep and Tephuan. Tephuan was forgotten by the majority of people, as he could not stand adventuring and instead went to the farms north of Peridotia to work there for a living. Kroxtep has become a great Warrior-Sorcerer of Tepok, though.
Xholoatl and Arlyn eventually got tired of Talus, and travelled the other planes. They went to Celestia, and Arlyn loved it so much that she requested to stay there for a while. Xholoatl had business to attend to in Talus, so he agreed to let her stay. To this day, Arlyn still stays in Celestia, as Xholoatl's sorcerous powers were decreased recently, and thus he cannot go back to get her.
While in Celestia, Arlyn gave birth to another child, but this one was crippled. Tepok saw this and granted the child a divinely powered suit of armour that looked much like an Iron Golem. This would sustain him for 200 years, the same lifespan as a Kobold. Tlaxhuan became the first mortal Paladin of Tepok.
On one stupid day, Xholoatl bought a Deck of Hazards and drew 3 cards from it. This was a big mistake, as he was suddenly possessed by a demon. After this happened, Xholoatl walked over to the caves in the Ashen Swamps and built a Shrine of Tepok there. Tepok was glad that his followers still existed, and so he got rid of the demon in Xholoatl's spirit. Now Xholoatl is neutral, just like the Elementals he sometimes summons.
After being beaten soundly several times by the biggest and nastiest creatures in Talus, Xholoatl finally gave up and cast a spell that would change his balance of power. It worked, and Xholoatl lost some of his Sorcerous power to gain fighting skills like no other. Now he is a Warrior-Sorcerer of Tepok.
Today, Xholoatl is now seeking companionship from his friends, wishing to talk about his experiences, and hoping some day to go on another big adventure that he can be of some use in.
