The story up till now....

Mordane was a human, named John, who lived alone in a house passed down by his grandfather. He would work on the train set down stairs sometimes and play table top war games with other strategy enthusiasts whenever he was not working at his job as a antique radio repair man.

He lived a simple life content with his place in the world. He had many friends, a job he enjoyed and  a roof over his head. The only thing that he did not like was his mother and father as they were terrible parents.

Mostly though John would of not appeared strange to anyone who saw him. A simple man leading a simple life. Yet there was something strange about him. Over the years he had learned to reach out with him mind. Knowing that he would be called crazy by most, and seeing no real world use, he was content to use this skill to wage little wars with his backyard ants...

Fate had other plans though. Due to his carelessness his soul was broken off from his body leaving him to pass on in the void between worlds.

In panic he poured himself into the nearest body he could.

When he came to he had been reborn an alicorn. Still encased in his mother's womb. Over the next decade he grew up and left his home town having grown close to his new family. He faced trials on his journey loosing someone who had grown important to him.

After going to Ponyville and having a good time as Party King in a different town Mordane became Twilight Sparkles student. Him, the main six and  the CMC become close.

For years his parents had told him that Celestia was evil and though he tried to keep an open mind in time he had to agree. Even though his reasons were circumstantial at best. His fear of her growing into near paranoia as he contemplated what she would do if she found out his alicorn nature.

However years later after killing a necromancer he helped to fight off a Diamond dog attack. During the attack he was revealed as an alicorn and ran.

Escaping he found a newspaper claiming his parents death even though he knew they were alive. Concluding Celestia must of kidnapped  and killed them he vowed revenge before heading south across the desert and over the great divide.

In the southern lands he was confronted with true barbarism. He faced difficulties before stumbling across an old friend and joining a mercenary group.

When his captian died the young stallion took control of his division and went on to win a major battle.

Angry at his use of necromancy on his friends body the commander  punished Mordane by having his abilities bound and  a demand he go on a scouting mission...

Oh and don't forget about the war magic and how it binds the caster to a concept as a focus for magic independent of the horn. It's important.
