Personal history
Born into the harsh clan Mcgunny, Cú Chulainn fit right into the rough life. At a young age it was obvious that he would be a worthy warrior and was sent to live with Valkyrie Scathach. A warrior woman who would train him into his potential. He lived with her for several years before recklessly attempting to marry her. She rejected him and broke his arms in retribution. As such Cú Chulainn never learned the most valuable of her lessons. He made out on his own in a sense of adventure, doing what he willed for some time. He accomplished a great deal when at the young age of twenty met a young woman who he loved. He abounded his clan to instead live with her. That is when disaster struck. The clan made a deal with the wicked fae who lived in the land. They asked them to steal Cú Chulainns wife so that he might return to them. The fae abliged as they wanted Cú Chulainn to be punished for his pride. In a rage, Cu Chulainn searched for his wife. A devil approached him and offered a deal, information on who took her and a weapon. But in return the devil would ensure that he would not live past 30. The devil made this deal out of fear of Cú Chulainn. Foolishly he accepted and was given Gáe Bulg, as well as knowledge of this clan and the faes treachery. He stormed the feywild and it was there that he performed deeds that bare not being told. It is said that the Fae forgot how to laugh after the slaughter. That it took years before they had the happiness to sing. So ruined were they by Cú Chulainn that they gave back his wife and sacrificed a fey queen so that he would leave. Cú Chulainn was not finished. He returned home and killed the rest of his Clan. He roamed on his own and united the remaining clans to fight with him in the dragonic wars. With out their aid the wars would have been lost. He joined the Seven Swordsmen of Sagewell and aided the banishment of Tiamat. Returning home he sought to finalize the treaty between clans when he received word from Lady Concord, Falgio clan. She asked to meet him in discussions of the treaty but had set a trap. The fae had brokered a deal with her, kill Cú Chulainn and they would protect Morevund from the monsters around them. They would lessen the barrier between worlds. They would mix their blood with mortals so that the ruler would be apart of both worlds and respected by all. She agreed. The clans were rallied with the help of the devil Argo and they surrounded Cú Chulainn. It took three days, for after injurying him he continued to fight on his knees killing any who got near but at last he died. He was not forgotten and the first queen honored him for his deeds.
