Irina and Konstantin came across one another when they happened to be hunting down the same formidable foe. Alone, they may have perished, but together, they were able to prevail. This was something they noticed quickly, and a partnership quickly bloomed. Before long, they were hunting demons alongside one another.
Even with this newfound partnership, Konstantin felt that he was still missing something, and let it be known he was searching for ways to give himself an additional edge. Irina, with the knowledge she had been gathering thus far, recalled hearing of an ancient artifact. It was supposedly a forbidden thing that had been locked away by early Gaolers who deemed it too dangerous to utilize.
Despite that, they sought it out. And eventually, they were able to unearth it.
Konstantin succeeded in becoming a living weapon against the Shade and demonkind. Not only was he now imbued with a power that allowed him to easily rend through these foes, he became more in tuned with the creatures; he could sense them when they were near or even if they've been in the area recently. But this all came at a cost. He soon found out just why it was forbidden. The artifact changed his very essence. He now struggled with himself; he was prone to going feral and becoming more like the creatures he had dedicated himself in fighting.
While he was able to stave off this destructive nature that he now called The Voidsoul using meditative techniques to keep him centered, it could only do so much. Seeing his predicament, Irina put her skills to work. She spent extra time studying what remained of the artifact after its use, and was able to come up with an elixir that helped staved off the negative effects of the Voidsoul. It wasn't a surefire fix, but gave him a great deal of relief.
Making the elixir wasn't cheap, though. The pair switched from simply roaming to find targets to taking on a more mercenary approach. It didn't help that they soon came to realize that the Voidsoul is something that can be passed down their bloodline. As they learned this, they began to spend time ensuring their descendants had the means to succeed despite this 'curse'.
And thus, they became the Dark Stalkers.
