Sister : Aleksandra Kraszewska (deceased)

 Past: 

As a child, Radek and his younger sister Aleksandra were abused,  hated by their parents. They were mostly hated by their drunk of a father who would beat them and their mother, who then blamed the children for his attitude. When Radek was playing in the woodland near his home, he saw two hunters (Qrow Branwen and Summer Rose) sparring on a mission and was fascinated by Qrow's scythe wielding as he found a scythe at home not too long ago. Too nervous to approach the pair, Radek took it upon himself to learn to fight using a scythe in secret.

Months after deciding to learn to fight with a scythe, Radek's father was on a rampage, hitting his mother and sister. Whilst crying, Aleksandra attempted to stop her father hitting her mother but he hit her hard, causing her to fall back and hit her head on the stone floor, killing her. Radek ran out of the house, not wanting to accept what was happening. He ran to the barn and retrieved his scythe, deciding to finally defend himself. His father found him and attempted to assult Radek. He reacted by swiping the scythe at his father and impaling his chest. taking his scythe with him he entered the house, only to find his mother dead too, having been strangled by his father.

After all his family was dead, Radek collected his belongings and scythe and left his home. After several weeks of searching, a man called Sig found him trying to get heat from the forge in the winter. The man, Sig, had lost his own son due to a mugging, so Sig took Radek into the smithy and treated him as his own son.

Spending the bulk of his childhood working as a blacksmith with his new father, he had learned to forge, design, and use a variety of tools and weapons. Radek decided he wanted to help those in need and become a hunter. As a gift from Sig before leaving to become a hunter in training, Sig used a treasure passed down from his father to forge  Radek a new scythe, Ivory Night. The metal used for Ivory Night was infused with a dust, an extremely rare dust that absorbed dust from the world around it.

 Personality: 

Radek is Polish and has a rather strong Polish accent.

Before meeting Ruby,Weiss,Blake, and Yang,  Radek was very serious and generally avoided people. Radek became surprisingly cheerful around those he likes after having to deal with team RWBY's antics. He is quite clever as he has a large knowledge on weapons passed onto him from Sig. Although he is seemingly content, he is easily irritated and easy to anger when mentioning his past in a threatening way. He is extremely protective over those he cares for and will always attempt to protect them as he does not want a repeat of seeing someone close die.

Radek tends to grab his scythe when he's uncomfortable or scared, this also applies to his glove but the scythe is far more important to him.
