His mother, [[Bellia Yonaza]], was a human prostitute controlled by the cold proprietor of the [[Wink and Kiss]] tavern, [[Nareen Dhest]]. One night at work, Bellia was hired by a mysterious, high-paying client who Dhest couldn't decline. This client, a [[Gnoll]], ambushed Bellia and conceived Yon that night. His mother, injured and with no other options, continued to return to Dhest to provide for herself. Once Yon was finally born, Bellia began to conspire to leave Yartar. She soon realized how long it would take to finally save up enough to leave (while still providing for both herself and hew newborn), and worked even more frequently. Every evening Bellia would leave Yon for some tavern in the city and return in the early morning, often injured and drained. Yon had to learn to fend for himself as he grew older, and eventually gained resentment for his mother who was too busy to care for him properly. Yon didn't know what his mother did for work, until he followed her one night and witnessed the abuse and horrors she suffered. Unable to just watch, Yon grabbed a shard of glass and killed the client. Bellia hid Yon in their house, fearful for what Nareen would do when she found out, and fled the city. Yon waited as Nareen's thugs searched the house, and once they left followed the scent of his mother out of the city. He headed north, following her trail, until he came across her body in the bushes, broken and beaten. After finding her body, Yon fell unconscious and did not come to for days. Yon woke in a dark, dimly lit cavern. He would not know it yet, but he had become a slave to the [[duregar]] of [[Gracklstugh]]. A strong child, Yon knew his size had saved him that night and to live he must comply. So he did. Yon spent years as a slave of the duregar and worked tirelessly hammering, refining, and polishing the steel for the City of Blades. During his years as a slave, Yon kept quiet and interacted with as few others as possible. He kept his head down and did the work he was told to. As he grew older and stronger, Yon began to formulate an escape plan. He needed to return to the surface to seek revenge on Nareen. Yon soon began to enact his plan, stealing a duregar [[battleaxe]] and attempting to make his way to the surface. He nearly made it, until a slave passing by grabbed his hand tightly and called out to the guards in hopes to earn favor or reward. The [[goliath]] slave was stronger than Yon, but weaponless could not defend himself as Yon swung his axe wildly in fury, severing both his own hand as well as the goliath's head. Yon ran and finally made it to the surface, and continued to run deep into the nearest woods. There, Yon remained and recovered from his wounds while he plotted his return to Yartar. Years of living in the wilds, training with his axe, nursing his wounds, and relearning tasks with one hand eventually led Yon back to Yartar. He followed Nareen to her home that night, broke in, and murdered her before leaving the city and heading south. --- Yon was given his name as a duregar slave, abandoning his given name, and embraced it. It means "beast" in Undercommon. Yon often tries to resist the bestial aspects of his nature, but becomes ravenous near food. Yon is currently in a dark place, finding it hard to trust others and is exceedingly cautious; however, he knows the importance of survival and finds it hard to resist food.
