'''Callisto''' | '''Callisto''' was the first [[Human]] man, the son of [[Maya]] the [[Aldar]] from Maya's rape by the [[Unnamable Horror]]. His twin sister, [[Sinope (mythology)|Sinope]], was the first human woman. All members of the human [[:Category:Adventurer races|race]] are ultimately descended from their coupling. | ||
Callisto, along with his sister and lover Sinope, | Callisto, along with his sister and lover Sinope, were said to possess the near immortal lifespans of the Aldar. This longevity passed onto their children but diminished with each successive generation. [[Lucretius]], [[God]] of Philosophy and Knowledge, predicted this as the inevitable result of interbreeding pure [[Chaos]] with Aldar might - the entropic energy of [[Chaos]] would gradually cause Aldar traits to deteriorate over time. | ||
While Callisto was on a hunting trip, his son [[Anake]], angered by his mother's rejection of his advances, killed Sinope in her sleep, an event that would become known as [[Anake's Passion]]. Fifty years later, in a rage inspired by the schemes of [[Thoth]] and [[Shaitan]], Callisto sought revenge for Sinope's death by murdering the sleeping Anake. Callisto then became entrenched in his own insanity. | While Callisto was on a hunting trip, his son [[Anake]], angered by his mother's rejection of his advances, killed Sinope in her sleep, an event that would become known as [[Anake's Passion]].
