Backstory:
Thirteen was created in a lab in Plegia by a Lab ran by renegade Valmese and Plegian Alchemists and Magicians. Their  goal was singular, they wanted to create the Ultimate Warrior and Tactician to rival the Shepard's Tactician of Old. To this length they spliced the genes of Manaketes, Taguel and Humans together to create Thirteen. Rumors of this experiment would catch the attention of the new generation of Shepards led by Crown Princess Lucina, Morgan the Tactician and the heirs of the Previous Shepards. During the Raid on the Laboratory a stray bolt of Lightning struck the tube that Thirteen was held in waking the Hybrid prematurely. After confirming all the renegades were suppressed and all their notes seized the gathering of Shepards began to debate over what they should do to the Larval Hybrid.

Many were adamant of putting the Young Hybrid to the Blade but Noire who happened to be wearing her Talisman at the time vehemently stood against the murder of the young thing and swore to take it in and raise it as her own. Morgan her Brother was against the youth being brought into the house of their Mother but relented as Noire become steadily more aggressive. Noire became highly possessive and protective of the Child she named Thirteen. When asked why she named the Hybrid as such she would merely shrug and mumble something about the pod and head off with her youngling.

Miriel and Laurent were curious about the boy and soon found out he was a mute for unforeseen reasons and began to swiftly develop a system of hand signals for him to learn and use to communicate his needs. During this time Morgan the Uncle of Thirteen had gotten himself into a bind as Noire and himself had developed an ambrosial and Illicit relationship between siblings while He was privately courting Lucina. This would lead into a strange turn of Events that would bring the three people into a Polygamous and Poly-amorous marriage. Thus giving Thirteen two mother figures in his life to turn to.

By the age of Eight he began showing his desire to learn about warfare and become acquainted with the Art of War to Tactician Richter's dismay. Shortly after he began his studies Miriel and Laurent brought forth a child around his age and stated that no one in Ylisse or in the Neighboring Kingdoms would know Thirteen's unique Sign language and required a Translator. And so they found a talented Youth with a Penchant for Dark Magic and marksmanship. Her name was Lilliana and she would become thirteen's singular and closest friend.

As the younglings grew they swiftly learned of Persecution and fear-mongering among the Nobility and  as many doubted a Plegian Dark Marksman and a Monster Experiment was safe to keep in the Halidom and frequently reminded the pair that their lives were merely spared by the Royal protection afforded to them by Princess Lucina and the Military Importance of Tactician Richter. This drive a wedge further between Thirteen and other people outside of the his Family, Lilliana and the Shepards.

In this time Miriel and Laurent had been developing a knew form of Long range combat specifically Lilliana utilizing Principles from Tome mages and a knew weapon they coined as the Rifle. It would a long range projectile weapon that propelled the munitions via Wind Magic. This would be easier for Lilliana as her Unique fusion of Dark magic and Wind magic making Shadow Based Magic highly efficient for her role as Long range support and quick escape for herself and Thirteen. The Two Friends join the Ylissan Military Academy that is headed by Richter the Retired tactician of the Shepards and many of the Former Shepards serve as Teachers there while the next generation defend the Halidom and her allies' from the continued Risen threat and new ones growing in the Peripherals.

Aspect of Naga (Divine/Positive Energy): A Visible White-Blue Aura with Silver fringes flow from Thirteen, His Eyes take on a Golden Sclera and White Irises.
