Long ago, A magical machine scourge passed through the village of Owlspire, converting all it's inhabitants, leaving only the youngest.

Shawn, and the rest of the children of Owlspire, were the only survivors of this rogue machine swarm.

Technically, everyone in the village but the oldest or weakest survived, but any adults were converted into new soldiers for the scourge, with no memories or will of their own.

Something went wrong with the conversion of the children, though.

Something about the semi-magical, semi-mechanical conversion that the machine scourge used left the children with their free will, and they were abandoned in their village as the scourge moved on.

Which... was rather unfortunate, both for the children and -as the scourge would learn several years later- for themselves, given the muted but constant pain of their new forms, combined with the emotional trauma of the invasion, created several extremely motivated machine hunters.

Shawn was in no way the most brutal or the most efficient of this new 'human scourge', but his parents had been great warriors before their retirement, and they'd taught him well during their years as the village's sole hunters.

As such, as they hunted down the machines who had converted their families, and finally laid to rest their parents and older friends, he gained - alongside his fellow cyborgs- the title of Eliminator of Machines.

Nowadays, Shawn and his fellows often dream of settling down, but an inherent drive keeps them on the move, ever seeking more rogue machines to eliminate (though they do often get into trouble with the law, as they often attack first when sighting any humanoid machines, only rarely bothering to check in with local wizards if the machines in question are rogue or not).
