Also sometimes known as the “The Dark Mercenary” or the “Dreaded Vagrant” for criminals. His human name is Dain Mercer, but his name is now long forgotten by anyone besides himself. Does not talk often. Not mute, but when he speaks it is deliberate or has a purpose. Large stature, about 6’5, not including height added by the armor. Skilled at countless different melee weapons. He doesn't have unlimited weapons, but if he gets his hands on one he knows how to use it. Renowned warrior for: - Terrifying and intimidating presence - Tactical knowledge and talent - Extraordinary combat skill - Using environment to his advantage - Brutal and ruthless fighting style - Horrifying pain tolerance and willpower Fights more like a mercenary than a knight, fights to win. Some respect it, other don't, most fear it. As terrifying and violent as he can be, he doesn't just kill at random or for no reason. Only criminals, or bad people who deserve it. Protective and respectful to civilians, especially women and children. Not invincible or superhuman. Just menacing, strong, and a scary amount of pain tolerance. Which may make him look that way to people who fear him. He has a weakness for children and families who remind him of his own.

HISTORY & EVENTS

Used to be a skilled Estinian blacksmith named Dain Mercer, with a family. A wife and kids. But out of the blue his hometown Estin, was raided and destroyed by the cruel Lotfei. His family, friends, and neighbors slaughtered. He barely survived himself. A neighboring town Kanthoa, who was allied to Estin, found him in the ruble barely holding onto life. After a long and painful recovery, he joined the Kanthoan military. Training and fighting for years. Climbing the ranks in the Kanthoan military. The raiders returned though, stronger and larger in size than last time. They began raiding Kanthoa. He fought fearlessly, destroying the absolute onslaught of raiders. But the Kanthoan military was so outnumbered by the Lotfeits that their numbers began to dwindle. They were losing this fight, but he kept going. Hours go by, he keeps fighting and killing, exhausted. The town lays in ruins around him. Bodies piled everywhere, a mixture of Lotfei raiders, Kanthoan militia, and even civilians. He had killed every last raider, but not in time. He was the only soul left standing in Kanthoa. He swore to never let anything like this happen again. And the people that do these despicable things would not live. But his amor was falling apart, so he forged himself a new suit of armor. One that would express his anger, grief, and ruthlessness. He would travel the realm defeating criminals and villains. With time becoming known as a sort of legend. Respected or hated, and feared or admired.
