Almika Dutari was born to a large peasant
family in Basque country. Almika's father, unable to support such a large family,
send Almika off to a convent upon reaching her teens, so that Almika might gain an
education. Almika was unhappy with her lot and life, as the nuns treated her poorly.
Nonetheless, Almika took to her studies dutifully, all the while dreaming of
raising her own station. One day, a wandering monk by the name of Benedict arrived
at the monastery, and he eventually became Almika's private tutor. Almika fell in
love with Benedict, and the two consummated their relationship. Almika became
pregnant. The mother superior discovered Almika's condition and became furious with
Almika. Tearfully, Almika fled before she could be put on trial for her sin against
God. The covenant, however, hired a Knight Templar to find Almika and bring her to
justice. Almika has been on the run ever since.
