==== Background ====

Mirror was born as... Someone, son of a lower-class family in Nexus. They tried to raise him as best they could, but with two older daughters competing for attention, someone was often ignored. This may have led to his unfortunate habits of theft and espionage between various gangs, or he may have floated into that lifestyle on his own with no prompting. Whatever caused it, however, he quickly gained a hushed reputation, and eventually it caught up with him. After an attempt to masquerade as a gang's leader went wrong, that person decided to return to the straight and narrow path.

This is probably what killed him. While it was difficult to find someone when he didn't want to be found, eventually he was discovered, and someone found himself fleeing for his life from not just one but ''two'' gangs- the one he'd tried to infiltrate (for obvious reasons), and the one he'd been doing it on behalf of (because of his faliure). He nearly made it, too- two injuries that probably would have killed him were just barely nonfatal, although one put out his eye and the other definitely crippled his getaway.

The third injury was not as nonfatal- a makeshift spear being shoved unceremoniously through his stomach and out through his back. Then they left him there, bleeding on the ground. As he died, he heard a voice in his head offering him the chance at living again, this time with enough power to make everyone else tremble before him. It was a very, very tempting offer, and so he took it. Because, you know, why the hell not.
