Pathfinder Red Character in Ekkirah | World Anvil

Pathfinder Red

Being the youngest of three sons in a nobles family holds little benefit. He would not inherit his fathers position, nor would be the replacement should the firstborn die, he was even called a mistake by the very people that brought him into this life because of his temper and aggressive nature. Being constantly belittled, anger further manifested inside of him, sometimes resulting in violent outbursts. As a way of getting him out of the castle when guests arrived and to calm him down, he was given excessive combat training in the hopes of breaking him and making him obedient to his parents, being punished harshly for failing at impossible tasks. This however only strengthened his resolve and the hatred for his family as he sometimes saw them through the windows, sitting in the castle, kissing the boots of other nobles and royalty. As he came of age, he was left scarred and cold-hearted which he did not attempt to hide, especially not in front of his parents. Reds instructor was the only person he trusted. He gave him strength, eliminated fear. The punishments and the impossible tasks forged him into an unwavering solider.   When a rebellion began to form in a state in the south, he was sent out to "Maybe prove that you're not completely worthless" as his father described it. Given a few hundred fresh recruits, comprised mostly of criminals who were given the choice of forcibly joining the army or facing severy punishment for their crimes, he marched. Training them with unheard cruetly along the way, even accepting casualties. Those who tried to run, were almost always captured, tortured and burned in the middle of their nightly campsite as a warning for others. There is no place for weakness at Reds side. Cowardice would be punished by death. After the five month journey came to an end, he was left with half of the army he started with, the rest either died during training or showed signs of fear or cowardice and were weeded out.   Arriving at their destination, he gave final instructions. There would be no prisoners, they were to slaughter anyone and everyone. Mercy is a sign of weakness and if an enemy soldier were to run, they would not be granted a warriors death, but a public execution. This would be their opportunity to regain their honor and bring glory, not to the kingdom, not to the royalty, but to themselves. Thus, the bloodbath of Zanija ensued during which Red was mortally wounded.   As the slaughter was over, he found himself surrounded by his brothers and sisters in arms, his vision tainted by blood leaving his body in droves as his wounds promised an honorable death. Unknowingly to him, he manifested the principle of The kingdom of Red in this very moment: No Surrender, No Retreat, Victory or Death. In his final moments, he managed to muster a smile before the ground underneath them began to violently shake and uproot, carrying him and his forces skywards.
