Modoru Redgrave was born to a minor noble family in the former capital of Cheliax, Westcrown. Raised as a diabolist, his family hoped that he would one day rise to fame among the followers of Asmodeus. His fortunes firmly turned when Modoru befriended a traveling paladin and soon became interested in his beliefs and values. He soon left his family and dedicated himself to the battle against evil. His travels eventually brought him to Lastwall, where he became a well-respected captain in the heavy cavalry.
