Description
Kaelan Volvannis was once a promising knight in the kingdom of Virellia, a realm known for its high code of honor and warrior traditions. The Volvannis family had served the crown for generations, trusted as royal protectors and commanders in the king's personal army. Kaelan, the second-born son, was raised in the shadow of his elder brother, who was destined to inherit their father’s title as the family patriarch. However, Kaelan was no less skilled in combat and tactics, and in time, he rose to become a captain in the king’s guard. He was known for his courage, intelligence, and his unshakable dedication to the crown.
But Kaelan's world came crashing down when a tragic and highly public betrayal shook the kingdom to its core. During an important diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with a neighboring kingdom, Kaelan's brother, the heir to the family legacy, was found murdered—betrayed by one of the king's closest allies. Kaelan, who had been by his brother’s side at the time, was framed for the murder. The evidence was overwhelming, and whispers of treason quickly spread throughout the court.
Kaelan was convicted of his brother’s death, despite his protests of innocence. It was revealed that powerful forces within the royal court had conspired to remove the Volvannis family from power. The king, fearing further scandal, publicly disgraced Kaelan, stripping him of his title, his lands, and his honor. His exile was swift, and he was cast out of Virellia, branded a traitor and murderer in the eyes of the people. His name, once revered, was now associated with shame.
Becoming a Mercenary:
With nowhere to go and no one to trust, Kaelan wandered the wild lands, hunted by enemies and rejected by allies. For years, he lived on the fringes of society, taking up mercenary work as a way to survive. His skills as a warrior and strategist made him a sought-after hire, and he became known as a "shadow knight"—a mercenary with a cold reputation, who never asked questions and always delivered on his contracts. His once noble heart had hardened over time, his sense of justice clouded by the betrayal he had suffered.
Kaelan’s mercenary life was dangerous, and while he fought for wealth and survival, he never fully abandoned his desire for redemption. However, with his heart scarred by loss and betrayal, he kept others at a distance, unwilling to trust anyone again. His only solace came from the occasional letter he would receive from his younger sister, who had managed to escape the palace before the full extent of the scandal unfolded.
Kaelan is tall and muscular, with rugged features accentuated by scars that tell tales of past battles. He carries an ancient sword, said to be cursed, which adds to his mysterious allure. Despite his tough exterior, he possesses a deep sense of loyalty and a hidden tenderness that emerges when he forms connections with others
