History
Dredd grew up in a poor village, that didn't have a Mage Guild, meaning it was often left vulnerable. Being in a very poor family, and since his father died, Dredd had an abusive mother, who treated him like a servant. His sisters would often play very mean pranks on him, but never got punished for them. The only place Dredd could find any solace, was in the garden, where he found a small group of praying mantises. There, he mimicked their movements, and learned about the way the way that they hunted. Eventually, when he was nine, Dredd ran away from home.

In a short time, he was found by MacArthur Malick, the guild master of Ouroboros Fang. He took Dredd in, and taught him how to further harness his abilities, and taught him how to master his form of magic. Feeling like he was reborn, Dredd dawned a mask, wanting to erase his past face.
