Captain Drevan Thorne
(a.k.a. The Blooded Captain, Chaos’ Executioner)
Captain Drevan Thorne, leader of the Red Pact, is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of Chaos’ enemies and inspires unwavering loyalty among his soldiers. Known for his tactical brilliance and unrelenting ferocity, Thorne’s transformation from mercenary to Betrayer has made him one of the most prominent figures within the Disciples of Chaos. His crimson armor and ruthless efficiency have earned him the title of “Chaos’ Executioner.”
Early Life and Mercenary Career
Drevan was born into poverty in a remote village on the outskirts of Herja. Orphaned at a young age, he joined a local mercenary band as a means of survival. His natural aptitude for combat and leadership quickly set him apart, and he rose through the ranks to command his own company.
For years, Drevan’s mercenaries were renowned for their discipline and effectiveness. They served various kingdoms across Herja, fighting in countless battles and amassing a formidable reputation. Despite his success, Drevan harbored a deep cynicism about the world, viewing loyalty and honor as weaknesses exploited by the powerful.
The Bonefields Ambush and Betrayal
In 691 AR, Drevan’s company was contracted to defend a vital supply route against the Disciples of Chaos. The mission proved to be a disaster. Ambushed by the Heralds of Chaos in the Bonefields, Drevan’s forces were decimated, and the survivors were left demoralized and broken.
Faced with annihilation, Drevan made a fateful decision. Seeing the power of Chaos as the only path to survival, he led his remaining men in surrendering to the Disciples. Their initiation into Chaos was marked by a brutal blood ritual that bound them to their new masters, transforming them into the Red Pact.
Role as Commander of the Red Pact
As leader of the Red Pact, Drevan has proven himself an invaluable asset to the Disciples of Chaos. His strategic mind and battlefield prowess have led to numerous victories, and his ability to inspire loyalty among his troops has made the Red Pact one of the most cohesive and feared units within the Godless Lands.
Drevan’s responsibilities include:
- Leading Campaigns: Directing the Red Pact in missions ranging from full-scale battles to targeted assassinations.
- Enforcing Discipline: Maintaining the strict hierarchy and loyalty that define the Pact.
- Tactical Innovation: Developing new strategies and techniques to exploit the weaknesses of Chaos’ enemies.
Personality and Traits
Drevan is a pragmatic and ruthless leader who believes Chaos’ dominance is inevitable. While some see him as a traitor, he views his decision to join Chaos as a necessary act of survival and adaptation. He values strength, loyalty, and results, often rewarding those who excel while showing no mercy to those who falter.
Physically imposing, Drevan’s presence on the battlefield is as much a psychological weapon as his tactics. His crimson armor, stained with the blood of countless foes, and his cold, calculating demeanor make him a figure of both fear and respect.
Legacy
Captain Drevan Thorne’s legacy is one of blood and fire. Under his leadership, the Red Pact has become a symbol of Chaos’ might and a reminder of its corrupting influence. To his enemies, he is a monster; to his followers, he is a savior. Regardless of perspective, his impact on Herja is undeniable.
Loyalty is a lie we tell ourselves. Chaos strips away the illusion, leaving only the truth: survival at any cost.
