The Start:

Artorias Mason, if he is the first, or not. He does not know. He was an orphan for as long as he can remember. At age 17, Artorias found a beautiful young woman. Her name: Angel Mason. History of her is unkown. for any record's of her perished during the Calamity. Artorias married young, he soon found himself a father to a son. Gabriel Mason. He had saved up enough gil, to buy them a house on the outskirt's of Erozea. At that time, it was the closest he was to the three major city's, he never went to any of them, all he cared for was being with his wife and son. Relativly a year before the calamity, Garlean forces had come to spread slowly, without alerting the three cities. Artorias was out hunting that day. As he returned from hunting, his house was set aflame, along with the execution of his wife and son. He never found out why. But all he knew is that it was Gaius von Baelsar who had commited the act. From that day, Artorias strove with vengance and hate in his hear, he trained effortlessly with sword's, two handed axe's, and spear's. Not knowing if he could even do such a fool's errend. He set off to the three cities in hope's of besting his skill's in order to get pay back. That hatred he had growing in his heart changed him, He had become the thing he alway's hated. The enemy. Shortly as he began his hand-to-hand training in Ul'Dah, me met Caen Jabari, and Garrett Slater. That day, he had gained possible allies. As he trained to perfect his skill's in CQC, event's unfolded, he then metKelvena Agapor she reminded him so much of his past wife, he spilt his emotion's, and she was so unsure. He shortly after met Julius Vermillion, Where the two worked together, training together, in hope's of becoming stronger. Julius followed a different path, He followed the path of the Warrior. While Artorias chose to stick with his knowing of CQC, the two moved away from each other slowly. As Garrett, Caen, Kelvena, and Artorias became friend's, the group was formed....

The Lust:

Month's after, he then met Rhagana Doomslayer. As Kelvena, toyed with Artorias's emotion, he decided maybe it would be best if he moved on, and thus he set his eye's after Rhagana. The two quickly became lover's, but it was short lived. Artorias soon found himself, unable to care for Rhagana, and let his lust for revenge consume him. The couple split. He then began his lust for more power, he traveld to Gridania, where he trained with the lance. He gained power and skill. He had never felt this power before, he was beyong human abilities. After he returned to Ul'Dah there was an incident that occured at Parata's Peace are with the Gigatoads north of Vesper Bay.Garrett, Artorias, and Caen were attacked by Garlean forces.  That was when Garrett and Artorias became un-easy with each other. Thus tension was born. Nothing was the same from that point. Artorias soon found himself, sure that where the he had recently fought Garlean forces at Vesper Bay, Gaius was close. He then set off, on a killing spree of the Garlean forces. Few sun passes later, he had found that Gaius was indeed not there. He was fumed, angry, and his lust consumed him more.

The Fall:

Soon after he returned from his fight with the Garlean's. No one saw Artorias for the same man he was. At that point, he did not care. All he wanted was the head of Gaius for what he has done. He began pushing everyone away, and trained harder, and longer every day. He soon followed the way of the Warrior just like Julius once had. The two spoke often, alway's going on about job's they have done, or any job's they think they could do together. During this time, he met Surillian Blu, Who at first, posed no one important to him, other than a possible friend. As he trained, month's went by, many event's he chose not to remember, there is spot's in his memory that are blank. Soon he found out the where the Garlean's main stronghold was located, he then set off to finish what brought him here. As he entered the base, he faced many Garlean forces, pushing through, he later opened his linkshell Kelvena had made for the group. "I'm sorry Kelvena.....but this is what need's to happen.." was how he started it off, Kelvena spoke back, not forgiving him for anything, only saying it dosent matter anymore, it came down to, go ahead and die, if your that eager to ruin your life. the conversation he had stuck in his mind the rest of the way. As he continued fighting, he faced captain's of Gaius's army, Artorias pushed on, destroying all that stood in his way. As he finally wiped out all of the Garlean forces, there was no sign of Gaius, he had left while he sent his Captain's to fight Artorias....Artorias was beyong fatigued. But, he had to find Gaius, he soon collapsed, his personal mission ended in failure.
