* <h4>Life In the Azim Steppe</h4>
 
 
Born in the Borlaaq tribe, His birth mother gave him up in the first month of his birth instead the traditional year.  He was abandoned in the Azim wilderness, away from any migrating paths, wrapped in a blanket and left out in the wilderness. He was then found by a male huntsman from the Qerel tribe. Barachin, who barely recused the baby from the beasts of the Steppe. Barachin brought the newborn back to his tribe, wife with three daughters and adopted him into his family. Barachin give him a name, Koghun. Barachin was an honorable, wise and strong huntsmen/lancer that everyone respected. He was also known for his over-the-top stories.

Sebastian’s life began as a swaddled child only a month old, abandoned in the Azim wilderness. He was found by a huntsman of the Qerel tribe, and picked up before the beasts of the steppe could get to the baby. The hunter’s name was Barachin, and he was puzzled, recognising the child to be of the Borlaaq tribe who were known to cut their children loose early, but usually after a year, not just a month.
At age 10, he showed talent with a spear, Barachin began to train Koghun as a lancer and hunter. Koghun looked up to his father and wanted to grow-up to be just like him. His mother was gentle and sweet, always coddling Koghun as he was the youngest.  His sisters were as energetic as him and he enjoyed playing with them. Some of the adults did not approve of Barachin bringing Koghun to the tribe and will often treated as an outcast. Due to this, the children of those adults treated Koghun same and tease him and would end in fights, but his sisters will always come to his aid.  Koghun felt displaced but trained hard to become the best lancer/huntsman like Barachin and earn the respect of his tribe. Barachin would on occasion, tell the story of the day that he found Koghun, Although, the story will always change, from the number of beasts, to the size of each beast

Barachin brought the child into his family with his wife and three daughters. He gave the boy a name: Koghun. Many others in the tribe regarded the boy with suspicion, knowing that he was an outsider by birthright. But Barachin was a respected hunter, and it was enough for the tribe that he took responsibility for the boy. It helped that he would often regale them all with the story of how he ‘rescued’ the boy from a pack of vicious beasts which varied between anything from ten gedans to a thousand elemental aether drooling demons, depending on how bold he was feeling at the time of telling.
'''Barachin "What’s stood between me and this newborn was 10...no 20 gedans!! With drool and blud drippin from them mouth."'''
+
 
<br />
+
When Koghun was ten years old, he showed promise with a spear and began training as a lancer. He idolised his father and adored his mother who doted upon him as the youngest child, and his sisters were energetic enough to give him healthy competition.
'''Barachin "What’s stood between me and this newborn was 30...no 50 gedans!! With black goo and blud AND POISON drippin off from them rows of sharp teeth them had!!"'''
+
 
<br />
+
Yet some of the other children in the tribe, with the prompting of their parents, were unkind to Koghun, calling him an outsider and often goading him until a fight broke out. Koghun’s sisters stuck up for him, but what carried Koghun through was his desire to follow in his father’s footsteps and make him proud.
'''Barachin "What’s stood between me and this newborn was 1000...no 20000 demons!! With POISON and blud and elemental aether drippin from them mouth."'''

At the age of fourteen, Koghun and some of his peers undertook the Qerel rite of passage - to kill their first steppe tiger. His family was there to send him off with words of encouragement and assurances that he would always belong to the Qerel tribe in their eyes no matter what.
'''''Barachin "THE CREATURE WAS SO BEG, THEM BLOCKED OUT DA SUN FROM DA SKY!! AND IT HAD 20 HEADS!! ALL OOZIN OUT LAVA!"
+
 
+
After five days - the usual length of the trial - all of the new hunters had returned except for Koghun. Many of the tribespeople speculated that Koghun had fallen foul of the beasts, and that Barachin had only delayed this fate by bringing him into the tribe.
At age 14, Koghun and the other teens embarked on the Qerel rite of passage. To kill their first steppe tiger with their own hands. They were given five day to complete the task and bring their price back to camp.  Koghun’s sisters and mother wished him good luck, Barachin stopped Koghun before he headed off; 
+
 
'''Barachin: "Koghun, no matter where you came from, where you go or what others will call you, you will always be Koghun, of the Qerel Tribe. Son of Barachin of the Qerel Tribe. Now Come back to us alive you hear; you don't want to make your mother cry now do ya?"
+
In truth, Koghun had indeed encountered a tiger on the fourth night of the trial. Though intimidated by the size of it, he found the resolve to confront it, unleashing a war cry to match the tiger’s mighty roar. He prevailed, and returned to the tribe - late, but triumphant.
Over time, the other participants returned with their price, Koghun’s mother and sisters began worry for him, some of the adults predicted that he failed and got himself eaten. Koghun searched in the vast steppe for his prey but to no avail. On the fourth night, A large tiger crept out from the dark. Koghun froze in fear at the creature's size but stood his ground.  Koghun let out a loud war-cry and the beast let out a mighty roar and the two clashed.  Koghun returned from his trial in triumph with the large dead tiger in tow. His tribesmen were at awe at the size of beast and for the first time Koghun was accepted as a true member of the Qerel tribe.  The tribe hosted a celebration that night in honor of the new adults’ success.  Unfortunately, the proud moment was shortly lived for the tribe were caught off guard by a surprise night raid. Koghun readied himself for battle but Barachin ordered Koghun to take his mother and sisters away. At first Koghun argued but Barachin wouldn’t take no for answer.
+
 
Koghun and the other young adults took the young and weak away from the chaos to safety.  When the group got to a safe enough distance, Koghun ran back to aid in the fight. Koghun naively rushed into the fray, He managed to kill a few raiders but was caught off-guard and was injured. Before the raider can deliver the final blow Barachin rushed in, saving Koghun. The Qerel were victorious but Barachin was fatally wounded from protecting Koghun.  As he bled out, Barachin passed his lance onto Koghun before dying in his arms. Koghun was devastated, he felt solely responsible for his death.  Filled with anguish and guilt He swore that he’ll become a strong warrior like his father to atone for his weakness. Several days later he left the tribe to roam the Steppe.  He went far as the Othard's mountainous eastern reaches lost and starving, there he came across small farm village. At nightfall, he sneaked into the village and stole some food but was discovered by the chieftain’s daughter. She screamed and alerted the villagers. The villagers chased Koghun, damaging some coops and fences but Koghun was caught and locked up. The next morning, Koghun was brought forth before the village chief for judgment.  Many of the villagers called for him to be tied up and left for dead but before the chieftain can decide, his daughter spoke in Koghun’s defense, her name was Ayumi. Ayumi convinced her father to have Koghun repair all the damages he done during the chase. Ayumi was placed in charge of him until his tasks were completed. Ayumi was a kind, beautiful and curious girl who believed that there is good in everyone. When Koghun asked her why she'd defended him '''Ayumi: “Because I believe that you’re not a bad person. You may look bad given your rough appearance but there’s good in you.”'''  Ayumi was curious about the Xaela and asked Koghun about his life and the Steppe for she never left the village but longed to know what’s beyond her humble, peaceful life.  In vise versa Koghun asked about hers, all while performing his task and they eventually became friends. When Koghun completed his task, Ayumi persuaded Koghun to stay awhile and he did. They spent most of their time talking and learning about each other culture. Although he enjoyed his time with Ayumi, the memory of his father weighed heavy on Koghun’s mind and decided he stayed long enough. He said his goodbyes to Ayumi, though a bit sadden she wished him luck.  Koghun promised Ayumi that he’ll come back and visit. He then gave her a hand-crafted necklace and headed out back into the Steppe.  Weeks later Koghun met a lone Xaela named Burilgi while hunting.  They were hunting the same game and ruined their hunt. The two fought over it until they grew tired and realized that they prey ran-off. With a mutual goal, they formed a temporary truce to complete their hunt.  After they decided to travel together for a little while longer. Burilgi was the same age as Koghun, he was ambitious, headstrong and loved the trill of battle.  They traveled and trained together.  After some time, they both made a pact to aid each other in their goal. '''Burilgi “From here on, we’ll aid each other in becoming the strongest warriors and rule the Steppe.  All will come to know the Axe and Spear of the Mighty War Brothers Burilgi and Koghun.”''' Burilgi and Koghun formed a war-band and became War Brothers, symbolizing a brotherly bond between comrades.
+
During the celebrations that night in honour of the coming of age of new hunters, raiders descended upon the camp. Koghun was ready to fight, but his father commanded him to seek shelter with his sisters and mother. Koghun helped to lead the most vulnerable to safety, but having done that he disobeyed his father and returned to the battle.
From ages 15-18, Koghun and Burilgi roam the steppe with their War-band, warring with other tribes and sneaking away to visit Ayumi. Their war-band grew in number and strength and the two war brothers grew stronger and skilled with every battle.  They became well-known across the Azim Steppe. Eventually Koghun and Ayumi fell in love. Koghun began to grow distance from the war-band. His times away gradually increased in time hence less involved in their skirmishes.  Burilgi noticed this trend and grew concerned over Koghun.  One day he confronted Koghun about it. Burilgi warned Koghun to stay away from Ayumi. That he’d become weak and cowardly like her kind and the two argued furiously.  Burilgi threaten Koghun by attacking Ayumi’s village to make him stay away. This angered Koghun and led to the two war-brothers into a nasty fist fight.  Koghun won and threaten Burilgi that he’s leaving the war-band. Koghun rode to Ayumi’s village, not knowing that he’d been followed by Burilgi’s war-band.
+
 
Koghun arrived at Ayumi’s village during the night. He arrived just as Ayumi reached the outskirts.  She told Koghun that she’s leaving the village to see the world.  ‘’’Ayumi: “If I were to leave my village, would you go with me? would you leave behind Burilgi, the war-band, The Azim Steppe… for me? Because I can’t bear the thought of never seeing you again.” ’’’ Koghun promised that he’d always be beside her and they both shared a tender embrace. Shortly after, they spotted a luminous glow in the background. The village was set ablaze and attacked by Burilgi's war-band. Koghun and Ayumi made haste to stop the attack but were overwhelmed and captured. The two were pinned down to the floor across from another.
+
In desperation, he felled a couple of raiders before being struck down. Yet before his assailant could land the killing blow, Barachin rushed in and struck the man, but in doing so lowered his guard to an attack from the side. The wound was fatal, and Barachin placed his lance into Koghun’s arms as he lay dying.
'''''Burilgi: "Koghun, You have become weak and weakness will not be tolerated! but I will not kill YOU brother. No, For the source of your weakness lies across from you. You may have forgotten our pact, but I haven’t! You will learn to be strong again and suffering will be your teacher. "'''
+
 
'' Koghun then slit Burilgi's throat and violently plunged his lance into his chest and repeatedly stabs into him so savagely that his lifeless body slightly lifted off the ground whenever Koghun pulled his lance out.  The other members of the war-band looked in horror as they witnessed the violent scene and fled. Koghun, covered in blood, Overcame by overwhelming sorrow at sight of his beloved severed head and Burilgi's betrayal.  Koghun let out a loud cry over Ayumi's body as her village burned to the ground.  He took Ayumi's necklace, tied to his left horn and buried her, covering the grave with flowers and left Burilgi’s body where it laid with his lance still in his chest. For the second time he had failed, first his father, now Ayumi.  Filled with aguish and defeat, leaves the Azim Steppe on the behalf of Ayumi’s wish to travel the world.
+
Koghun was racked with guilt. He swore to honour his father’s memory, but knew that the tribe would never accept him without Barachin to vouch for him. So he left and wandered the Steppe as far as the Othard’s eastern reaches. Lost and almost starving, he stole into a farming village seeking food but was caught by the chieftain’s daughter. She screamed and Koghun was chased from the village, crushing some crops and reed fencing along the way. The villagers caught him, brought him before the chieftain and pronounced that he should be tied and left to the mercy of the elements.
 +
 
 +
But Ayumi - the girl who had raised the alarm - implored her father to allow Koghun to instead repair the damage he had caused. Winning her father’s favour, she was tasked with watching the boy to make sure he carried out the tasks. Koghun was amazed at the beautiful girl who had spoken in his defense. When he asked why, all she said was that despite his rough appearance, she could see good in him.
 +
 
 +
After the repairs were made, Koghun stayed a while longer, talking with Ayumi and learning of her culture. Yet the responsibility to honour his father’s memory kept him restless, and he insisted on moving on. Ayumi made him promise that he would at least come back to visit her, and he agreed. As a token of his promise, he gave her a hand crafted necklace. Then they said their goodbyes.
 +
 
 +
In the coming weeks, Koghun was hunting when he became aware of a fellow Xaela stalking the same animal. The two attempted to ward each other off, and in doing so almost lost their prey. Ultimately, they agreed that it was better to share the prize than lose it altogether, and so worked together to catch it. Afterward, Koghun learned that his erstwhile hunting partner’s name was Burilgi. Impressed by their combined effort, they decided to hunt together a while longer.
 +
 
 +
Over the next few years, Koghun and Burilgi gathered to themselves a war band, dubbing themselves the ‘War Brothers’ and skirmishing with other tribes who encroached upon their territory. Their tribe became greatly feared as they grew in number and strength. The bond between the Brothers seemed unbreakable - but a crack was forming.
 +
 
 +
Burilgi began to notice that Koghun was frequently absent from the tribe. For Koghun had been keeping his promise to Ayumi, visiting her often. The two had fallen in love, and Burilgi eventually confronted Koghun about this. He accused him of embracing weakness, falling into the arms of a lesser people. The two brothers fought bitterly when Burilgi threatened to attack Ayumi’s village. When Koghun put Burilgi on the ground, he declared that he was leaving the war band.
 +
 
 +
And so he did, riding to Ayumi’s village by night. Ayumi received him gladly, telling him that she was planning to go on a journey to see the world, and asking him if he would be willing to leave his nomadic life in the Steppe behind to go with her. With all his heart, Koghun promised that he would go with her to the ends of the world.
 +
 
 +
But a glow on the horizon alerted them to an attack on Ayumi’s village. Burilgi had followed Koghun and put the village to the torch. Koghun rushed to help, but it was too late - Ayumi’s tribe were already overwhelmed. The two of them were pinned to the ground while Burilgi stood over them, declaring that Koghun had been infected by a weakness, and that as his ‘Brother’ it was his duty to cut that weakness out. As soon as he spoke the sword, he swung his blade and struck Ayumi’s head from her shoulders.
 +
 
 +
Blinded by rage, Koghun fought himself free and plunged his lance into Burilgi, slaying him with such ferocity that the rest of the warband were routed from fear. With tears of grief, Koghun took Ayumi’s necklace, tied it to his left horn and buried her on a grave sprinkled with flowers. Burilgi was left to rot on the ground, the lance still protruding from his chest.
  
 
* <h4>The Days in Coerthas</h4>
 
* <h4>The Days in Coerthas</h4>
  
Koghun made his way to Eorzea, where he traveled with no set destination.  His aimless travelings took him north where he reached the Coerthas Regions. He wandered around the frozen plains before getting lost in a blizzard.  A small passing Xaelic caravan rescued him from an icy death and brought him in. Koghun traveled with the caravan, though he was grateful for their intervention he didn’t express it for the tragedies of the Steppe weighed heavily in his heart. He earned a living by working in mines and blacksmith in a small town. During his time with the caravan he learned about the City of Ishgard, the Orthodox Church, The Temple Knights, and The Dragonsong War. A few months passes and he began to interact and made friends within the caravan and with the miners.  One day, Koghun was returning from the mines with a few Ishgardian miners when they were attacked by a roaming Aevis. It began to devour the miners; Armed with just a pickaxe Koghun tried to save one miner for a gruesome fate. Koghun struck at the beast’s head but the Aevis’s hide proved impossible to damage.  He ran fast as he could but couldn’t outrun the beast. The Aevis dove down from the sky and slammed into the ground before him. Mere seconds from death the Aevis was stunned by a ball of purple energy, while the creature was stunned Koghun bolted. In the white out of the blizzard, a dark figure emerged.  It holstered a claymore on its shoulder, clad in black armor and wore a strange purple stone around its neck. Walking towards the Aevis as Koghun ran past it.  Koghun turned around and witnessed the mysterious warrior clashed with the Aevis. Koghun has never seen anything like this, a warrior facing off a creature like that and is able to hold their ground, with such power.  He didn’t stay long and continued to run to safety.  Koghun made it back to town and told the caravan what happened. After hearing Koghun’s story, they told him and others to never speak of it again, fearing the possibility of the Inquisition condemning them for the unfortunate situation. Several murders/disappearances were occurring within the last couple of days around the town ever since Koghun’s brush with the Aevis and drew the attention of the Inquisition and an Inquisitor was sent to investigate.   The inquisitor’s investigation yielded a suspect and apprehended someone from Koghun’s caravan but begged to hear their plea. The next day, a squadron of temple knights appeared in town looking for the caravan. Led by Grébix Brausin, a young knight, Inquisitor, heir to the Brausin House. He had a great disdain for heretics and those who He or the church deemed evil.  He was also known for being hardhearted and giving merciless sentences to all, man, woman, child, Ishgardian or not.  He’s a faithful believer of Halone though due to his personal experience doesn’t believe in redemption for all you stray from Halone’s “divine path”. Grébix announced that someone in the caravan is accused of murder and dark art practices.  The suspected Xaela framed Koghun for the murders and disappearances.  Koghun tried to speak out against the claims but was pulled from the caravan and beaten. The caravan stood silent, not a word was uttered in Koghun’s defense.  Grébix decided the verdict and sentenced Koghun to death but decided to take him to Ishgard instead. Grebix planned to take Koghun to Ishgard to but before they arrived, Koghun attempted an escape at the dead of night.  He grabbed his lance and slain two knights before losing the squad but Grébix pursued him.  Grébix was furious, for the two knights Koghun slain were close allies of his and sworn to avenge their deaths. The two clashed but Koghun was easily defeated by the skilled knight, severely beaten and covered in his own blood.  Grébix loomed over Koghun.  '''Grébix: “I shown you mercy boy and once again, my mercy, is repaid with my comrade's blood!  Now burn in the pits of Hell!” '''  Before Grébix can deliver the final blow, he was struck by a ball of purple energy.  Koghun recognized it, the same magic ball from before and the same warrior that fought off the Aevis appeared, the middle-aged Dark Knight named Alfane. Grébix recovered from the surprise attack and noticed the Dark Knight approaching. She readied her Claymore and Grébix charged straight towards her.
+
In the coming days, Koghun wandered aimlessly until he arrived in the Coerthas Region. Becoming lost, he crossed paths with a Xaelic caravan who sheltered him from the blizzard. He thanked his rescuers, but did not share the burden they could see was weighing on his heart. He travelled with them to a small town where he earned some money assisting in the mine. From the other miners he learned of the City of Ishgard, the Orthodox Church, the Temple Knights and the Dragonsong War.  
She fought off Grébix and got Koghun to safety.  She tended to his wounds in an abandoned house in Western Coerthas.  Alfane asked why he was arrested, Koghun told her all that transpired after and she can feel the anger, sadness and betrayal in Koghun's tale. Koghun felt indebted to Alfane for saving his life twice and he offered to serve under her. At first Alfane refused but thought .  Alfane decided to test Koghun and challenged him to a sparring match.  Though Koghun lost the match, Alfane was impressed that he was able to hold his own. She allowed Koghun to accompany her and they traveled to Tail feather. Alfane trained Koghun by sparring with him to better hone his skills and she began to care for Koghun.  Alfane was a serious, wise, patient woman but approachable and kind to the people of Tail feather and those who asked for her aid. She was a strict, and positive role model for Koghun.  If they weren't training, they often be at a tavern in Tail feather.  Koghun would sit there keeping to himself and watched Alfane get drunk and rabble with anyone, she would often embarrass Koghun as well. Trying to get him to flirt with the women in the tavern.  Several weeks passes by and Alfane noticed that Koghun held much resentment and rage, this concerned her as she feared that it could be his undoing. Alfane tried to instill some wisdom while training him but the day will come to see if her teachings had any effect on Koghun. One day, during training she tries asking Koghun directly but Koghun would not answer them. A few days later Koghun finally answered her questions, telling her about his past and his frustration of his own limitations and his desire to become stronger. Alfane tried to instill some wisdom while training him but the day will come to see if her teachings had any effect on Koghun. Alfane consoled him and told him of her past. About the loss of both her son and husband to Grébix.  '''Alfane: “I understand the rage that dwells in you, an impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved ones become poison in your veins. And, one day you catch yourself wishing the people you loved had never existed, so you’d be spared your pain.” '''
+
 
From then on, Alfane and Koghun grew a strong platonic bond and Alfane told Koghun about the stone she wore around her neck, the Dark Knight soulstone. She slowly began to teach Koghun about the Dark Knight abilities and a bit of the history behind the Dark Knights in Coerthas.  
+
Returning from the mines one day, Koghun and his fellows were attacked by a roaming Aevis. Armed only with a pickaxe, Koghun fought back, fleeing with his life and sparing one other miner from being devoured. Yet he could not outrun the beast, nor pierce its hide with his makeshift weapon. When it knocked him to the ground and death seemed certain, the Aevis was stunned by a ball of purple energy. Koghan seized the opportunity and took cover.
<br />
+
 
''''Alfane "You see this stone? This stone holds aether, experiences and memories of those who had it before me. With it, I can learn from their memories and apply them to battle but there are one person’s memories that I enjoy seeing from time to time."'''
+
As he watched, a dark figure emerged from the swirling blizzard, wielding a claymore and clad in obsidian black armour, and with a strange purple stone around their neck. Koghun watched in amazement as the warrior battled the beast with power the young lancer had never witnessed before.
<br />
+
 
'''''Koghun''''' '''"And Whose memories are those?"'''
+
Using the distraction to escape back to town, Koghun related the events to his caravan fellows who hastily advised him to keep quiet about it. It seemed that a number of sinister events in the past few days had attracted the attention of the Inquisition, and Koghun was advised that it was best not to draw any undue attention.
<br />
+
 
''''Alfane: My husband’s... There’s only one way to obtain a soul stone, and that's through death.  Justice and vengeance share the same dimmed path. Unclear when one’s pursuit for justice becomes a tortuous crusade of vengeance and violence. Anger can give one great power young Koghun. But, if let it, it will destroy you… As it did my husband." "'''
+
Over the coming days, the Inquision - led by young Knight called Grébix Brausin - conducted an investigation that led to one of Koghun’s fellow caravaners being accused of murder and practicing the dark arts.
The day came when Alfane will see if Koghun has grown or not. They we asked by a family of Xaela to help them leave Coerthas, this family was from the same caravan that condemned Koghun. At first Koghun refused but Alfane accepted their plea and he wasn't happy about it.  He was openly hostile to them for the journey, when confronted by the father. Koghun lashed out, reminding them of what happened. The father regrets what happened but he told Koghun that he couldn't risk the lives of his family to be falsely accused like he was. Koghun couldn't say a thing back for he found reasoning in the father's confession and remained silent and distance for the remainder of the journey.  During the final stretch of the journey, they were attacked by a roaming adolescent Mylodon.  The beast went straight for the father but surprisely Koghun was the first to jump in and save him. Alfane and Koghun fought the beast off, the small family sincerely thanked Koghun for his deeds, especially the father. For once Koghun was praised, for once Koghun saved a life and he felt good about it, like as if a great weight was lifted.  He turned his head to the side to hide his flushed face.  Alfane was proud to see that Koghun has the capacity to forgive and let go.  To see that her teachings stuck on Koghun.
+
 
+
Koghun knew little of these things, which made it easy for the accused party to shift the blame onto him. Koghun was accused, dragged out and beaten. Nobody spoke a word in his defense. Grébix delayed his sentence until he could be taken to Ishgard. Koghun had heard that Grébix was known for his merciless pursuit of all whom he regarded as heretical. So on the way, he attempted to escape, retrieving his lance and slaying two of Grébix’s knights.
A year later Koghun continued to accompany Alfane on her duties, helping those in need or escorting people out of Coerthas.  On one expedition, they were escorting a group of refugees when they were ambush by Grébix and his squadron. One of the refugees tipped off Grebix in return for forgiveness and amnesty.  Alfane and Koghun held off the knights as the refugees fled then Grébix joins the fight and attacked Alfane as the knights kept Koghun at bay.  Koghun managed to break through them and rushed to support Alfane.  The two fought against Grébix in union but eventually Grébix gains the upper hand by slashing Koghun’s back after breaking his lance.  Alfane casted an Unmend to save him, stunning Grébix for a bit.  When the other knights try to intervene, Grébix ordered them to stay back.  Koghun slowly began to get up as Alfane kept Grébix at bay but just when Koghun finally rose to his feet, Grébix inflicted a fatal blow to Alfane then shield bashed her back into Koghun.  The two fell to the ground, Alfane tightly hold onto her wound to stop the bleeding.  Grebix began to walks towards them then Koghun spotted the spear point of his lance and quickly threw it into the knight's leg, halting his advancement. Alfane looks at her wound as blood flows heavily from it her death is inevitable.  Knowing this, she ordered Koghun to run but refused, Alfane would not take a no for an answer.  '''Koghun: No! I'm not leaving you here! We're going to make out together! '''  '''Alfane: Koghun listen to me! There's no sense of us both d-dying. I'll keep them at b-bay long enough. I-I'm not asking....GO! I-I'll be right... behind you."''' She gave her soulstone to him and pushed him away '''Alfane: Now go...''' Koghun ran into the whiteout as Aflane kept Grebix and his men at bay.  When Koghun got to safety he waited for Alfane to return but as seconds began minutes and minutes into hours the blizzard subsided and there was no sign of Alfane.  Koghun went out to search for her.  He went back where they encouter Grebix but him and his men were not there. Only the corpses of the battle, Alfane laid among them.  An overwhelming grief sweapt over Koghun as he mourned beside her cold body.  That day, As Koghun buried his master & mentor he sworn that he will do whatever it takes to avenge her death and to carry on her duties.   
+
 
 +
But Koghun did not get far before Grébix caught up to him and easily brought him to the ground. Furious that Koghun had repaid his ‘mercy’ with the deaths of his men, Grébix was about to commit Koghun to hell when he was struck by a familiar orb of purple energy.
 +
 
 +
The same dark figure who had saved him from the Aevis strode out of the storm, readying her claymore and charging at Grébix. After a ferocious battle, Grébix was driven off and the warrior took Koghun to an abandoned house in Western Coerthas, where she tended to his wounds.
 +
 
 +
He learned that his rescuer was a Dark Knight named Alfane. She was outraged by Koghun’s account of what had happened to him. Seeing that he owed Alfane his life, Koghun pledged his service to her. She assured him that no such repayment was necessary. Yet when he insisted, she invited him to spar with her as a test. She was a powerful fighter and bested Koghun with relative ease, yet she was impressed with the promise he showed. She told him that she was going to Tail Feather, and that he could accompany her if he so wished.
 +
 
 +
On the road, Alfane continued to hone Koghun’s skills through sparring matches and exercises. He came to know her as a kind woman who rendered aid to the people of Tail Feather and provided Koghun with the first role model since his father.

Yet it was in their leisure moments, when Alfane would try to get Koghun to loosen up a bit in the tavern in Feather Tail, that she really saw the bitterness and resentment that was seated deeply in the young man’s heart. For all her asking, Koghun would not open up about this, so she attempted to draw the darkness out of him through training.
 +
 
 +
Eventually, Koghun relented and told her everything. To his surprise, Alfane empathised, divulging that she had lost her son and husband to Grébix and she was all too familiar with the smothering rage that can consume a person when they lose people they love.
 +
 
 +
The two became close after that. Alfane began to teach him the ways of the Dark Knight, their history and their methods and, of course, their fighting techniques. He asked about the stone she wore around her neck. She explained that this was a soulstone, with which she was able to hold the aether and experience of those who had worn it before her, as well as memories that brought her joy from time to time. The memories she was referring to were those of the stone’s most recent owner - her husband. She had been bequeathed the stone upon his death, and she admitted this was why she wanted to help Koghun.
 +
 
 +
Justice and Vengeance, she explained, are cousins often mistaken for each other, but with very little in common. Anger left unchecked can destroy a person...as it had done to Alfane’s husband.
 +
 
 +
Koghun’s first test in this regard came when he and Alfane were asked for help in leaving Coerthas. The people asking were from the same caravan that had given Koghun over to Grébix. At first, Koghun adamantly refused, but he saw that Alfane was testing him and relented. After simmering for the first day of travel, he almost came to blows with the father of the group. Yet because he took the time to listen, he came to understand that the man was simply protecting his family, and had not meant Koghun any ill-will. Koghun felt his heart soften, as he could well understand the sentiment.
 +
 
 +
In the last stretch of the journey they were set upon by an adolescent Mylodon. Koghun and Alfane fought it off, saving the family of travellers and, for the first time in a long time, Koghun felt the light and satisfaction of having done a good thing enter his heart. Alfane’s smile assured him that her training was having the desired effect.
 +
 
 +
For another year, Koghun accompanied Alfane in her duties, helping those in need and escorting refugees out of Coerthas. But the past caught up with them. One refugee they helped had given information to the inquisition in exchange for the absolution of sins. Their caravan was set upon by none other than Grébix and his knights.  
 +
 
 +
Having increased in skill, Koghun attempted to take Grébix on, but the man was still his superior in power. He broke Koghun’s lance and knocked him down. Alfane stunned Grébix with a spell and drew the man away. The moment went into suspension as Grébix ordered his men to stay back so that he could fight Alfane one on one. Koghun used the time to get back to his feet, but just as he recovered, Grébix landed a critical blow upon Alfane.
 +
 
 +
Koghun cried out and threw the tip of his lance, striking Grébix in the leg. Alfane immediately commanded Koghun to run, but he disobeyed, rushing to her side. But Alfane insisted that he needed to leave while she held the Inquisition knights off. She pressed her soulstone into his hand and insisted that she would be right behind him.  
 +
 
 +
He could not disobey his mentor further. Koghun ran whilst Grébix and his knights descended upon Alfane. When the dust settled and Alfane did not emerge, Koghun looked at the stone in his hand and remembered something she had told him - a soulstone can only be bequeathed on the death of its last owner. He hurried back to look for her and found Alfane lying dead among the bodies of the caravan.
 +
 
 +
A fresh grief overtook Koghun, the scenes of his father’s death returning to him in light of the present tragedy. He buried his mentor and swore that he would continue her work and one day avenge her.

((WIP)) Sebastian Qerel is a simmering, secretive Dark Knight serving as an itinerant mercenary across the width and breadth of Eorzea. Always in his company is his war panther cub, Khal Bar. Unheard of before his arrival in Coerthas at the age of eighteen, Sebastien is considered a foreigner by most. Falsely accused of a crime, he found himself at the mercy of an Inquisitor named Grébix Brausin but was saved by the Dark Knight, Alfane. He offered to repay this life debt by entering her service, but was surprised when she instead took him on as a student. For two years, Sebastian trained under Alfane as her protege, learning of the powers wielded by a Dark Knight and of the dangers of the Abyss. This came to a premature end when Alfane sacrificed herself to save him from yet another attack by Grébix. In her dying moment, she bequeathed to Sebastian her soulstone. Yet all of his training did not enable him to unlock the power within this artifact; those lessons had been yet to come. His failure fueled resentment that fanned into an all-consuming hatred of everything. Yet to his surprise, it was this very darkness within him that finally unlocked the stone, revealing its power and offering it to him. With this, he swore to exact revenge upon Grébix and, in time, seized upon the opportunity to do exactly that. Yet it was at a terrible price. Many innocents died and Sebastian was branded a murderer, accused of leaving a stain on his mentor’s legacy. In shame, Sebastian left Coerthas and the people who dubbed him ‘The Voidsent Knight’, and never looked back

Biography

  • Life In the Azim Steppe

Sebastian’s life began as a swaddled child only a month old, abandoned in the Azim wilderness. He was found by a huntsman of the Qerel tribe, and picked up before the beasts of the steppe could get to the baby. The hunter’s name was Barachin, and he was puzzled, recognising the child to be of the Borlaaq tribe who were known to cut their children loose early, but usually after a year, not just a month.

Barachin brought the child into his family with his wife and three daughters. He gave the boy a name: Koghun. Many others in the tribe regarded the boy with suspicion, knowing that he was an outsider by birthright. But Barachin was a respected hunter, and it was enough for the tribe that he took responsibility for the boy. It helped that he would often regale them all with the story of how he ‘rescued’ the boy from a pack of vicious beasts which varied between anything from ten gedans to a thousand elemental aether drooling demons, depending on how bold he was feeling at the time of telling.

When Koghun was ten years old, he showed promise with a spear and began training as a lancer. He idolised his father and adored his mother who doted upon him as the youngest child, and his sisters were energetic enough to give him healthy competition.

Yet some of the other children in the tribe, with the prompting of their parents, were unkind to Koghun, calling him an outsider and often goading him until a fight broke out. Koghun’s sisters stuck up for him, but what carried Koghun through was his desire to follow in his father’s footsteps and make him proud.

At the age of fourteen, Koghun and some of his peers undertook the Qerel rite of passage - to kill their first steppe tiger. His family was there to send him off with words of encouragement and assurances that he would always belong to the Qerel tribe in their eyes no matter what.

After five days - the usual length of the trial - all of the new hunters had returned except for Koghun. Many of the tribespeople speculated that Koghun had fallen foul of the beasts, and that Barachin had only delayed this fate by bringing him into the tribe.

In truth, Koghun had indeed encountered a tiger on the fourth night of the trial. Though intimidated by the size of it, he found the resolve to confront it, unleashing a war cry to match the tiger’s mighty roar. He prevailed, and returned to the tribe - late, but triumphant.

During the celebrations that night in honour of the coming of age of new hunters, raiders descended upon the camp. Koghun was ready to fight, but his father commanded him to seek shelter with his sisters and mother. Koghun helped to lead the most vulnerable to safety, but having done that he disobeyed his father and returned to the battle.

In desperation, he felled a couple of raiders before being struck down. Yet before his assailant could land the killing blow, Barachin rushed in and struck the man, but in doing so lowered his guard to an attack from the side. The wound was fatal, and Barachin placed his lance into Koghun’s arms as he lay dying.

Koghun was racked with guilt. He swore to honour his father’s memory, but knew that the tribe would never accept him without Barachin to vouch for him. So he left and wandered the Steppe as far as the Othard’s eastern reaches. Lost and almost starving, he stole into a farming village seeking food but was caught by the chieftain’s daughter. She screamed and Koghun was chased from the village, crushing some crops and reed fencing along the way. The villagers caught him, brought him before the chieftain and pronounced that he should be tied and left to the mercy of the elements.

But Ayumi - the girl who had raised the alarm - implored her father to allow Koghun to instead repair the damage he had caused. Winning her father’s favour, she was tasked with watching the boy to make sure he carried out the tasks. Koghun was amazed at the beautiful girl who had spoken in his defense. When he asked why, all she said was that despite his rough appearance, she could see good in him.

After the repairs were made, Koghun stayed a while longer, talking with Ayumi and learning of her culture. Yet the responsibility to honour his father’s memory kept him restless, and he insisted on moving on. Ayumi made him promise that he would at least come back to visit her, and he agreed. As a token of his promise, he gave her a hand crafted necklace. Then they said their goodbyes.

In the coming weeks, Koghun was hunting when he became aware of a fellow Xaela stalking the same animal. The two attempted to ward each other off, and in doing so almost lost their prey. Ultimately, they agreed that it was better to share the prize than lose it altogether, and so worked together to catch it. Afterward, Koghun learned that his erstwhile hunting partner’s name was Burilgi. Impressed by their combined effort, they decided to hunt together a while longer.

Over the next few years, Koghun and Burilgi gathered to themselves a war band, dubbing themselves the ‘War Brothers’ and skirmishing with other tribes who encroached upon their territory. Their tribe became greatly feared as they grew in number and strength. The bond between the Brothers seemed unbreakable - but a crack was forming.

Burilgi began to notice that Koghun was frequently absent from the tribe. For Koghun had been keeping his promise to Ayumi, visiting her often. The two had fallen in love, and Burilgi eventually confronted Koghun about this. He accused him of embracing weakness, falling into the arms of a lesser people. The two brothers fought bitterly when Burilgi threatened to attack Ayumi’s village. When Koghun put Burilgi on the ground, he declared that he was leaving the war band.

And so he did, riding to Ayumi’s village by night. Ayumi received him gladly, telling him that she was planning to go on a journey to see the world, and asking him if he would be willing to leave his nomadic life in the Steppe behind to go with her. With all his heart, Koghun promised that he would go with her to the ends of the world.

But a glow on the horizon alerted them to an attack on Ayumi’s village. Burilgi had followed Koghun and put the village to the torch. Koghun rushed to help, but it was too late - Ayumi’s tribe were already overwhelmed. The two of them were pinned to the ground while Burilgi stood over them, declaring that Koghun had been infected by a weakness, and that as his ‘Brother’ it was his duty to cut that weakness out. As soon as he spoke the sword, he swung his blade and struck Ayumi’s head from her shoulders.

Blinded by rage, Koghun fought himself free and plunged his lance into Burilgi, slaying him with such ferocity that the rest of the warband were routed from fear. With tears of grief, Koghun took Ayumi’s necklace, tied it to his left horn and buried her on a grave sprinkled with flowers. Burilgi was left to rot on the ground, the lance still protruding from his chest.

  • The Days in Coerthas

In the coming days, Koghun wandered aimlessly until he arrived in the Coerthas Region. Becoming lost, he crossed paths with a Xaelic caravan who sheltered him from the blizzard. He thanked his rescuers, but did not share the burden they could see was weighing on his heart. He travelled with them to a small town where he earned some money assisting in the mine. From the other miners he learned of the City of Ishgard, the Orthodox Church, the Temple Knights and the Dragonsong War.

Returning from the mines one day, Koghun and his fellows were attacked by a roaming Aevis. Armed only with a pickaxe, Koghun fought back, fleeing with his life and sparing one other miner from being devoured. Yet he could not outrun the beast, nor pierce its hide with his makeshift weapon. When it knocked him to the ground and death seemed certain, the Aevis was stunned by a ball of purple energy. Koghan seized the opportunity and took cover.

As he watched, a dark figure emerged from the swirling blizzard, wielding a claymore and clad in obsidian black armour, and with a strange purple stone around their neck. Koghun watched in amazement as the warrior battled the beast with power the young lancer had never witnessed before.

Using the distraction to escape back to town, Koghun related the events to his caravan fellows who hastily advised him to keep quiet about it. It seemed that a number of sinister events in the past few days had attracted the attention of the Inquisition, and Koghun was advised that it was best not to draw any undue attention.

Over the coming days, the Inquision - led by young Knight called Grébix Brausin - conducted an investigation that led to one of Koghun’s fellow caravaners being accused of murder and practicing the dark arts.

Koghun knew little of these things, which made it easy for the accused party to shift the blame onto him. Koghun was accused, dragged out and beaten. Nobody spoke a word in his defense. Grébix delayed his sentence until he could be taken to Ishgard. Koghun had heard that Grébix was known for his merciless pursuit of all whom he regarded as heretical. So on the way, he attempted to escape, retrieving his lance and slaying two of Grébix’s knights.

But Koghun did not get far before Grébix caught up to him and easily brought him to the ground. Furious that Koghun had repaid his ‘mercy’ with the deaths of his men, Grébix was about to commit Koghun to hell when he was struck by a familiar orb of purple energy.

The same dark figure who had saved him from the Aevis strode out of the storm, readying her claymore and charging at Grébix. After a ferocious battle, Grébix was driven off and the warrior took Koghun to an abandoned house in Western Coerthas, where she tended to his wounds.

He learned that his rescuer was a Dark Knight named Alfane. She was outraged by Koghun’s account of what had happened to him. Seeing that he owed Alfane his life, Koghun pledged his service to her. She assured him that no such repayment was necessary. Yet when he insisted, she invited him to spar with her as a test. She was a powerful fighter and bested Koghun with relative ease, yet she was impressed with the promise he showed. She told him that she was going to Tail Feather, and that he could accompany her if he so wished.

On the road, Alfane continued to hone Koghun’s skills through sparring matches and exercises. He came to know her as a kind woman who rendered aid to the people of Tail Feather and provided Koghun with the first role model since his father.

Yet it was in their leisure moments, when Alfane would try to get Koghun to loosen up a bit in the tavern in Feather Tail, that she really saw the bitterness and resentment that was seated deeply in the young man’s heart. For all her asking, Koghun would not open up about this, so she attempted to draw the darkness out of him through training.

Eventually, Koghun relented and told her everything. To his surprise, Alfane empathised, divulging that she had lost her son and husband to Grébix and she was all too familiar with the smothering rage that can consume a person when they lose people they love.

The two became close after that. Alfane began to teach him the ways of the Dark Knight, their history and their methods and, of course, their fighting techniques. He asked about the stone she wore around her neck. She explained that this was a soulstone, with which she was able to hold the aether and experience of those who had worn it before her, as well as memories that brought her joy from time to time. The memories she was referring to were those of the stone’s most recent owner - her husband. She had been bequeathed the stone upon his death, and she admitted this was why she wanted to help Koghun.

Justice and Vengeance, she explained, are cousins often mistaken for each other, but with very little in common. Anger left unchecked can destroy a person...as it had done to Alfane’s husband.

Koghun’s first test in this regard came when he and Alfane were asked for help in leaving Coerthas. The people asking were from the same caravan that had given Koghun over to Grébix. At first, Koghun adamantly refused, but he saw that Alfane was testing him and relented. After simmering for the first day of travel, he almost came to blows with the father of the group. Yet because he took the time to listen, he came to understand that the man was simply protecting his family, and had not meant Koghun any ill-will. Koghun felt his heart soften, as he could well understand the sentiment.

In the last stretch of the journey they were set upon by an adolescent Mylodon. Koghun and Alfane fought it off, saving the family of travellers and, for the first time in a long time, Koghun felt the light and satisfaction of having done a good thing enter his heart. Alfane’s smile assured him that her training was having the desired effect.

For another year, Koghun accompanied Alfane in her duties, helping those in need and escorting refugees out of Coerthas. But the past caught up with them. One refugee they helped had given information to the inquisition in exchange for the absolution of sins. Their caravan was set upon by none other than Grébix and his knights.

Having increased in skill, Koghun attempted to take Grébix on, but the man was still his superior in power. He broke Koghun’s lance and knocked him down. Alfane stunned Grébix with a spell and drew the man away. The moment went into suspension as Grébix ordered his men to stay back so that he could fight Alfane one on one. Koghun used the time to get back to his feet, but just as he recovered, Grébix landed a critical blow upon Alfane.

Koghun cried out and threw the tip of his lance, striking Grébix in the leg. Alfane immediately commanded Koghun to run, but he disobeyed, rushing to her side. But Alfane insisted that he needed to leave while she held the Inquisition knights off. She pressed her soulstone into his hand and insisted that she would be right behind him.

He could not disobey his mentor further. Koghun ran whilst Grébix and his knights descended upon Alfane. When the dust settled and Alfane did not emerge, Koghun looked at the stone in his hand and remembered something she had told him - a soulstone can only be bequeathed on the death of its last owner. He hurried back to look for her and found Alfane lying dead among the bodies of the caravan.

A fresh grief overtook Koghun, the scenes of his father’s death returning to him in light of the present tragedy. He buried his mentor and swore that he would continue her work and one day avenge her.

  • The Path

Koghun roamed The Coerthas Western Highlands alone. For yet again, he was unable to save someone close to him. As the months passes by, the mourning dark knight continued in his mentor’s place, aiding those in need from power abusing nobles and the Inquisition but slowly distanced himself to the point of no longer intervening. Realizing if he was unable to protect those close to him, how can he protect total strangers. He then began having night terrors of his past and began hearing whispers. He fought Mylodons, Yetis and other beasts of Coerthas to sharpen his claymore skills but was unable to muster up the same strength or abilities that Alfane had but the whispers became more clear and took on a familiar voice every passing day. Koghun grew bitter and infuriated at the whispers and his inability to use the stone. He began to doubt the stone and believed that Alfane lied to him. In a haze of rage he cast the stone out and cursed Alfane's name. Soon after, the stone began to glow red and then Abyss manifested an entity and took on the appearance of Burilgi, his former comrade. The entity informed Koghun if he wished to unlock the abilities of the dark knight soul stone he must surrender to the darkness within him. Koghun refused, he was frighten in disbelief at the sight of the entity but it persisted, Esteem: “I know your desire, I understand your plight and I am aware of your fears. I know you better than anyone for I've always been with you. You survived because you are strong yet cursed with the ludicrous sense for protecting the weak and burden yourself of their deaths and look where it got you. You came all this way for power and all that power you seek has appeared before you. I can mediate your suffering, turn your agony and rage into strength that beyond Alfane's... beyond anybody's. Surrender, Embrace the Abyss and be nullified of your pain, grow in strength.” Koghun accepted the Esteem and was enveloped by a faint crimson fog . The entity gave Koghun a warning that he will never forget Esteem: “If you were to falter, if your heart was ever to weaken, know that I will be your ruin.” Stories about Grébix's heroic victory against an dark magic-wielding heathen spread through the towns and villages in Coerthas and filled Koghun with disdain, growing more impatient until he was unable to bare it any longer and decided to bring Grébix's demise to him and set out to find him. One night during a snowstorm, He come across footprints in the snow that lead him to a middle aged Elezen man, surrounded by some ruffians. Koghun saved the man and recognizing the black armor and claymore he heard of from recent stories, the man asked if Koghun was the mysterious knight he heard of. The man revealed himself as a noble and plead for Koghun to aid him in taking his family out of Coerthas. He told his story about his troubles with a young noble. The man told him of how the nobleman demanded for his daughter hand, but the man refused him. The noblemen threaten them with imprisonment and death. The man revealed that the noblemen was a member of the Brausin house with connections high up in the Inquisition and feared that the noble will make good on his threat. Koghun first refused the man's plea, the man fell to his knees and begged Koghun at his feet to at least take his daughter away. Koghun heard the name Brausin then thought about Alfane and accepted the man plea, not to aid the old man but to fianlly have his revenge. The man wept in happiness and they continued into town. The man invited him into his home for the night to show his gratitude but Koghun turned down his invitation. The man then asks him for his name. It was there Koghun gave him the name of one of the Ishgardian miners he once worked with, to conceal his identity.  

Koghun: "You may call me Sebastian"

Then man's family comes out, hugging him, giving thanks to Halone for his safe return. The man told them that Sebastian saved him but when he turned around, Sebastian wasn't anywhere in sight. Two days later Sebastian returns to the same town and noticed a gathering. It was a hanging, among them was the same man from two nights ago and his family standing on the gallows. A group of temple knights surround the accused as one of them read the charges with noblemen standing beside him. Sebastian stood at the edge of the crowd, looking around for Grebix not concerning himself with the family who were at death's door. He waited and waited and but Grebix did not appear so Sebastian would make him appear. Sebastian made his way the end of the gallows, He drew his claymore and the blade becomes engulfed in a dark aura that crept onto Sebastian emitting a dark red aura around him and slew the first knight he saw. Sebastian shouted for Grebix as the crowd disbursed then fighting begun, Sebastian cut down the first two knight that came at him and fought off the remaining unitl Grébix appeared. Grébix unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Sebastian, signaling his men to attack. The knights rushed Sebastian all at once, he drove his claymore into the floor and performed Unleash, impaling the knights around him. In the sight of all the slaughter the Noblemen ran off in fear but Grébix steadfast at the sight. Grébix: "I see you're still alive, I'm glad. For Halone has blessed me with the opportunity to redeem myself for my blasphemous mistake. Hearken to me Fiend! I will smite thee back down from the vile crevice you crawled from, just as I did with that heretic woman! " Sebastian lunges at Grébix and the two face off in a fierce fight. Their weapons clashed against one another, both giving their all as they exchange blows and minor cuts at one another. Sebastian letting rage and anger fuel him. They exchange blows and minor cuts at one another. With every swing, Sebastian brought his unrelenting wrath upon Grébix and Grébix began to waver over Sebastian's power. Sebastian stroke Grébix, inflicting a heavy gash on his shoulder. Grébix backed off as blood ran down his arm as it shook and went limb. Grebix can barely hold his sword but wasn't going to let up. He firmly gripped his hand with the another and charged Sebastian. Sebastian charged him as well, cutting off the Paladin's right arm and thrust the claymore straight through Grébix. Grébix exhales pained groans as Sebastian continues to push his claymore deeper in with hate and anger. :Grébix: "No, *coughs* Not, yet!! *coughs* Auldelle *coughs* Ifrelle *coughs* Irene… F-for-g-give me, My loves... I've failed you.” Sebastian then rips the claymore throughout Grébix’s side. Sebastian focus his attention the the noblemen as he flees from the horrors he witnessed. Sebastian shoots a Unmend at the Noblemen. The Noblemen falls down from the impact, panicked he unsheathed his knife and charged at Sebastian. Sebastian punched the Noblemen, knocked him to the ground. The Noblemen began to crawl away until Sebastian slashed his shoulder. The Noblemen began to curse at Sebastian, barraging him with insults. He then rolled on his back and witnessed Sebastian stood over him. He begged and promised him with amnesty and riches but to no avail. He gave his final words hoping to prolong the inevitable but Sebastian impales him and continues to repeatedly unrelenting. When he finally stopped, he noticed the townspeople expression of horror on their faces, they were terrified by the sight of dead knights that surrounded the black armored Xaela. Sebastian gazed at the carnage with a blank expression until he looked upon the gallows to see the middle aged Elezen dangle lifelessly from the ropes, along with his family. Sebastian looked around at the carnage he brought, he didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment and remembered Alfane's words of caution. He understood what she meant, this wasn’t justice but unbridled violence and the deaths of innocents. He bowed his head in regret and shame as he walked out of town, the people ran in terror from him. "It's a demon! Stay away from it! Monster!!, Its gonna kill us all!"He thought if Alfane was here, she too will call him a monster. Till this day, the people of Ishgard were convinced that a Void-sent attacked their town and Sebastian will be referred to as "The Void-Sent Knight". Some people believed that it’s all a hoax. Following the events that brought the end of The Dragonsong War, No one has seen him since but a high bounty has been placed for his capture. Eventually Sebastian and the events that transpired fell into stories. Grébix, the valiant knight, killed by a foul man known as The Voidsent Knight. He's currently traveling around the land of Erozea, taking on mercenary work of all kind.

OOC Notes

I'm still relatively new to the whole RP scene so I take every RP encouter as a learning experience. Also I can't write paragraphs at a time, even with my extensive backstory for my character, it took alot of editing and proofreading to get the story you see on the wiki. I'm not good at world building/world desrciptive writing so I prefer to RP in game. I might not always be available to RP. I apologize in advance for this if its an inconvenience to anyone. I like doing arcs so I'm comfortable in dying in story if you like, just gives a heads up so I don't accidentally meta-game or something along that line. If you need to send a msg I'll leave my discord here or msg me in game. Thank you for checking out my OC's wiki. Chan-Chan#7527
