Knight Julius
53
13Born the bastard son of the King of Land's End, Julius was taken in by his uncle when his mother died giving birth to him. His uncle, Dark Executioner of the kingdom, raised him as his own, loving and teaching him, guiding and training little Julius to be capable of great things despite not always being the gentlest father. In Julius' youth he pushed himself to become a knight. He proved tenacious and determined, rising through the ranks quickly, becoming the youngest Knight Captain and one of the strongest warriors of Land's End.
While defending his kingdom, Julius and his knights consumed the Deathless Elixir to become immortal, using this to their advantage to win the battle against the Crimson Blight's Horde at the Twin Spires. It was his hope that this victory would win him his biological father's recognition and approval, wanting desperately to be acknowledged as his son and lost heir, but it was not to be.
When the Rain of Death fell and turned the people of the kingdom into undead abominations and triggered horrific transformations in those that drank the Deathless Elixir, Julius went to the castle to seek the King's aid. What met him was the macabre realization that in the King's pursuit of immortality, citizens and Julius' men alike were sacrificed in his greed. Blinded by rage and the corruption of the blight, Julius soon founding himself panting and bloody as he stood over the gutted corpse of his biological father.
As his deathless body collapsed into the throne, broken and hopeless, Julius longed for an end to his existence.
