Tomen Marebun

Tomen Marebun is a character in The Archaia Chronicles series. He is the father of mercenary bowman Capalis Marebun. About 18 years prior to the events of the series, Tomen mysteriously vanished without a trace. Leaving Capalis to spend nearly two decades trying to find and get him back.

Tomen was once a locally famous hunter in Album in his younger years. As he grew older, he yearned to explore the mysterious wonders of Visilion. However, in consequence, it caused a drift in him and his son's relationship.

Background
Tomen was born in Album about 40-50 years prior the events of The Mask of Na'maer. In his youth, he acquired the skills of archery from his father, and later became a notable hunter for hire. Sometime during this stage of his life, Tomen met a woman. The two fell in love, eloped, and had a son which they named Capalis.

However, Tomen's wife tragically died in childbirth, leaving him to care for his newborn son on his own. For a couple years, Tomen stepped down into obscurity so he could raise his son. But he  did keep the tradition alive when, much like his father, passed down his knowledge of the bow and arrow to Capalis. He would later see the promising skills and fervor of the hunt in his boy.

As Capalis got older, Tomen desired to go out and explore Visilion once again. He had become engrossed in many myths, legends, and tales across the continent. Often he would go on expeditions for weeks, even months at a time, leaving Capalis on his own. It was one thing that slowly tested their relationship. When Capalis was in his mid-teens, Tomen had slowly descended into a paranoia after a string of expeditions into the Farlands. Then, days after son's birthday, he suddenly disappeared.

For the next 18 years, Capalis would stop at nothing to get his estranged father back and find out why he had vanished...
