Korath was born a bastard child to Princess Sunnivah Evordeihn of the Kerebrihn royal family, and an unknown father. Unusually, they are one of the only recorded instances of a Scion-Blooded children born to a Scion-Blooded parent. Living in exile and kept secret from the rest of the royal family, Korath was raised by their mother's maids.

This secrecy was not enough to save them from the Violate King; as the city was gutted, Korath was fled by Nessa, one of their maids. They were caught, and Nessa killed by the Devastator General Kallax. Admiring the determination in Korath, they became the first of the Violate King's Bastards; children orphaned by war and pressed into service with the King.

While their childhood under the King is unknown, it is presumed they, like their adopted siblings, grew to worship the King as their father through abusive hardship. This worship persisted through his injury and defeat, as the King fled through unknown means south with the last of his warband and children.

Bleeding followers, the Violate King took refuge in the effigy of his attempted conquest; Maysuria. It was here, surrounded by his bastard children, that he was slain. Korath alone called out the killer, the Asva, to return the Longitude to them, but was pressed into silence by the red being.

After the King's death, Korath and their siblings spread all over Enaeth and South Arath; Some returned to Kerebrihn to play lord there, while most others formed bandit groups, eventually building their own renown and leading outlaw encampments.

Using their former training as a horserider and familiarity with passages through the terraformed world of Enaeth, Korath stole horses and recruited their own outlaw gang; The Outriders, beginning a terror campaign all throughout Enaeth. Recognizing the importance of survival, the Outriders never stayed long enough to build a reputation in one place, utilizing stealth and hit and run tactics. Korath watched with grim satisfaction as their methods avoided the capture and execution that their other, unwiser brothers experienced.

Korath's skill did not avoid the notice of the authorities however... and other, more sinister organisations. As their reputation grew, Korath was approached by Second Revelation in securing the 'Neck'; the snaking ravines leading into the Circiern Region. They were offered an enormous bounty to find and capture a group of mercenaries protecting a Merse woman dressed in green.

Korath begrudgingly allied with a bastard brother, Riaydrihn, and ran operations to blockade the region from his base, the Complex. It was during this blockade that Korath's ability to retreat and survive saved their life multiple times from the mercenary group that would later become Second Sunrise; they were captured by Ffamran in a failed assault at night, but escaped despite significant injuries; they later set an ambush in the Complex for Ffamran, Grippsly and Kovan in revenge, but was foiled by a slip of the tongue disguised as their ally Teleres. Chasing down Kovan and Rhoawn as they attempted to race north to Palisades, Korath's Outriders were all destroyed by an ambush conducted by Paedra's Merse cell, torn apart by Hesperia's Augury.

Despite their repeated failure and setbacks, Second Revelation found great value in their individual skill set, ability to recognize the importance of retreating from unwinnable circumstances, and sheer luck. They were offered and accepted a place within their ranks, and joined as the Rathas.
