After running into failure after failure with a group of adventurers, he decided to cut his losses, and seek to employ his talents as an apprentice to a wizard (preferable under an assumed name, and far away from the thugs to whom he owed his gambling debt.) He was able to locate a wizard that was willing to take him on – a rather absent-minded and bumbling gnome named Belfothas.
In his service, he found disapointment as the wizard’s ways did not suit his own style of handling his power. This service was short-lived, however as one night the gnome was meddling with an artifact that blasted away the gnome, the tower, and a fair chunk of the surrounding forest. Omen only just escaped the explosion and was flung by it into the nearby trees.
When he woke up, the sun hung directly overhead and all was quiet. After picking himself up off the ground, he had a look around. Of the tower there was no sign, save a huge crater where it once stood. Trees were knocked flat for hundreds of yards around it. He felt odd and soon discovered that his powers had changed. He no longer felt the dragon’s legacy within him. instead it was replaced by the crackle of lightning.
Once again he was set to wander. Card games here, dice games there, and the occasional parlor trick to impress a local farmer’s daughter were how he made his way. Eventually the gang to which he owed his gambling debt caught up to him. It was in a side alley in Greyhawk that the leader and his three lackies cornered him. He managed to cut down two of them before they stuck a dagger in him a half a dozen times. As they were preparing to slit his throat, he closed his eyes and waitied for a quick pain and darkness to come. When it did not, he opened his eyes and before him he saw the last of his attackers lying face down in the muck. Standing over them was a figure in a black cloak with two blades of a making Omen had never seen.
Omen, being unable to muster much more than a whisper and fading quickly, asked “Why did you save me?”
The figure looked down at him and said, “I didn’t intervene on your behalf. These men’s lives were bought with gold.”
“Are you going to kill me now?”
“No, you have some potential in you…if you live through the night.”
This is how he came into the service of Kolev.
