When Deren was a young child, his parents were betrayed and kidnapped by supporters of slavery. In the world of Noragis, where everyone can learn to control Soulen, a form of simple magic, his owners did everything to prevent him to even have a chance to learn how to use that power. But, his spirit, full of hatred, especially after the loss of all those he loved, made him enraged enough to master an opposite form of Soulen.

Thanks to this until now unknown power, he managed to escape from slavery and became a wild young man, lost in the forest... until he was found, saved and taken in by Hermin Enkei.

Hermin Enkei is one of the 3 Soulen lords, the highest class of Soulen masters. Thanks to his teachings, Deren learnt how to avoid to use his weird dark powers and became one of the strongest martial artist and warrior of Noragis.
