Before the empire : Pyvorous (Black bone) Black

    Midas's older brother, always took care of his younger brother, while Midas was more intelligent, Pyvorous was always smarter, a great gambler, always knew how to sell something to someone, always having a card up his sleeves. Both of them came from the mountainous city of Florombia, a true technological heaven, the only place known to have working airships, a kind of steam-punky place indeed! and from the dusty streets came these two brothers that would have a far greater future than most of those who surrounded them.
    Later, they went town to town tricking people by selling them fake potions and other kinds of fake items from "unknown" lands so that Pyvorous could fund Midas experiments for the perfect poison, lending Midas the title of dead fingers. But so that the poisons could be tested people were kidnaped by Pyvorous and used on Midas's tests, the results were mostly of the body of the victim self combusting, then left on the streets to be found on the mourning, when caught, Pyvorous got the title of Black bone for that one reason. When both of them were caught, they were both executed, Pyvorous was burnt alive and Midas was killed with his own "ultimate" poison. Later both of them were revived by Yusar and turned into his trusty generals, Midas ended up leaving the empire and even later joining the rebels when saved by them from an empire troll group (trolls are immune to poison)
