History:
Like all Male Harpies Nisos grew up in a female dominate society, where the females had all the power and made all the rules. Being born a male subjected him to being treated almost a second class citizen by his peers as a child which he while not particularly happy with he could accept. He was forced to take the odd jobs that no one wanted to do and slowly grew to like the odd jobs. For the longest time he spent his time as running around the tribe delivering messages and documents from place to place in the tribe. As he grew older no one could deny his speed and overall reliability and as such he upgraded to the tribes official Messenger. Delivering documents for the clan to different species and clans. The Documents varied from simple , letters to peace treaties and negations .
He excelled at his job often being able to deliver the days in advance and without a single incident or document lost. So it came to pass that when to delivering an important document that would result in a stable peace between the Osprey and the Eagle clans, it was decided that he would be the Nisos with his perfect tract record would be the one to insure safe delivery of the important document and bring in a new wave of peace between the ancient warring clans.
This however was not the case. Thought the clans were a mere 100 miles from one another , a distance that would take a normal flier no more than a couple of hours to deliver and Nisos no more than a hour or so. The document nor Nisos never arrived that day, nor the next day or even a week later.
Convinced that he had been killed by the Hawk clan ,the carefully boiling rivalry between the two clans exploded into a bloody conflict that resulted in a many deaths between the two only ending when Nisos arrived two weeks later with the document. Seeing him as the reason that the bloody conflict had erupted and to appease those that had lost family in the conflict, Nisos was exiled .
With no clan to call his own anymore with him black marked , Nisos could only hope to find a place for himself in human society.
