Sarkan
Early Life
In his early life Sarkan was a kind kid. He led a peacefull life in his long lost hometown on the border from the country Markesh. That peace however got broken in a border skirmish with the Elloit empire. Sarkan got captured and placed into slafe labor just after seeing his family being slaughtered. In the slafe camps Sarkan got used by multiple of his elder slaves and was pushed arount multiple gangs.
Sarkans courage never wavered in his struggle to survive. But his perspective of reality got altered from his strange way of growing up. When he reached the age of 15 Arkan got placed in the slave legion of Markesh. The boy, made strong by harsh labor performed very well in the army. Despite being walking cannon fodder he lead his crew to one victory after another.
An enemy lord that saw potential in him recruited him and had them rebel against markesh.
a few years later Sarkan made a mistake in his greed and his army got defeated while warring with another country. Sarkan dragged himself away from the battlefield. He had cut's all over his body. With his sword in one hand and pulling himself forward with the other he made it to the top of a hill. There he rolled over.
He looked up at the sun asking himself if this was what dying was like. A face apeared between him and the sun. It was his old Markesh warlord smiling down at him, saying he got what he deserved before knocking him out.
Sarkan woke up as a prisoner in a cart. He was there alone in the barred cart. Nobody to keep him company beside the guards watching him. They wouldn't say much except that he was to be executed at Helgen, the royal court of Marakesh.
That was if he would reach Helgen alive. His countless untreated wounds started rotting, Sarkan became sick. In his feferous dreams he started hearing a voice speaking to him.
A force reaching out to him. Far away but at this moment of near death sooo incredibly close. He recognised it as evil but there was nothing else he could do. To be able to return to his wife, to his child.. He had to accept this power didn't he.
He whispered the words that formed what he later would be a bond between warlock and patron. A power surged trough his body and Sarkan screamed. It felt like his blood was burning.
The soldiers turned. Mouths falling open with awe as Sarkan lit up with an unholy white light bleeding from his eyes. His wounds disappearing before their own eyes. He grabbed the iron bars of his prison and they started to melt within his grip. He pulled the bar free and threw it at the closest guard in the head.
This pushed the other guards to act. They all ran at Sarkan with swords in the air. One of the guars whimpered, afraid of what he was seeing. A man with a far too broad smile and someone elses eyes gazing trough them. The entity inside Sarkan cast one last spell that killed all the guards.
Sarkan woke up inside a huge crater. Around him lay pieces of the prisoner wagon. The burned corpses of the guards were the only proof of what just happend. But.. what happend? Sarkan couldn't remember. But he didn't have time to worry. By now his village would have been conquered. He had to safe his wife and child!
Sarkan returned to his homestead only to discover the bodies of his wife and eldest son. He didn't know that during his absense his wife had birthed a younger son and neither that a young maiden of his household had escaped with him.
That son would later be known as Yale, One of the four heroes that fought and lost while trying to protect the old world.
A lost Sarkan Travels the world. His patrons voice in his head giving him the darkest suggestions.
Goals and Ideals:
Sarkan sick of war wants to bring eternal peace to the world. In his younger years he has been betrait many times and has lost his faith in humanity. He is the classic villain that thinks the only way to control his subjects is through fear. Despite the ruthless evil he has shown against his enemies. Good has also been shown in his motives. His ruling subjects are evil. Mainly because he understands their motives better making them easier to control. Sarkan his ultimate motive is to destroy Curse . To him the end justifies the means. This world is dying. So many seals have already been broken. In order to save the worlds of the greatest evil. Everything is allowed.
