They had a relatively peaceful childhood for a time, before succumbing to the Urge and murdering their loved ones and foster parents.{{ref|Memories regained after casting Heal on the Dark Urge after rejecting Bhaal. <br>''"Children darting their way through the city streets of the Gate, chasing one another.
