Aurelius Valthorn
15
3Aurelius is a towering legend clad in luminous sun-steel, his three-crested helm turning his shadow into an icon recognized across kingdoms. His armor glows with a steady warmth, not blazing, but calm—like a sunrise that refuses to fade. He moves with quiet precision, every step shaped by centuries of battle and burden, yet there is nothing cruel in him. Despite his fearsome presence, Aurelius is gentle. He speaks rarely, choosing his words with care, and when he does, his voice carries a surprising softness that steadies the frightened and comforts the dying.
Once a humble knight of a forgotten order, Aurelius made a vow during the world’s darkest hour: If the sun rises again, I will be its shield. The fading light of a sacred relic answered his plea, forging his armor, halting his aging, and granting him strength beyond mortal limits. But each use of that holy radiance comes with a cost—memory lost piece by piece. He remembers wars, fallen kingdoms, and shattered oaths, but not the faces of those he loved.
To the people, he is a savior. To rulers, a weapon. To monsters, a warning. Yet to himself, he is simply a man trying to keep a promise that grows harder to hold as his past fades. He hates war, even as he excels in it; every strike he delivers is measured, every life lost a weight he silently carries. His loyalty is absolute. Once he chooses to protect someone, no god or king can turn him aside.
Every sunrise, Aurelius stands in quiet contemplation, grounding himself in the light that defines him. His deepest fear is forgetting why he fights and becoming nothing more than an empty vessel of radiance. His unspoken wish is simple and human: to remove his helm just once and feel the warmth of the morning sun on his own skin. FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO READ LOADS: Aurelius is an immortal sun-forged knight—gentle, loyal, and burdened by fading memories. Feared, revered, and endlessly compassionate, he fights only to uphold his ancient vow.
