Cleaver

Warlord of Winval

Cleaver was a powerful warlord who's name used to strike fear into the hearts of men across all of Winval. His influence was vast and seemingly limitless with men under his control working through out the continent. His armies were many and he seemed to demonstrate little regard for their lives. He was finally killed in a duel with the Pirate adventurer Captain Starling in the year 3000 ASO when the Luck and the Pussycats Adventuring Guild boarded his giant dread-airship and confronted him in his private quarters.

Personal history

Before becoming the giant cyborg monster he was at the height of his power, Cleaver was once an elven artificer and former miner called Ciradyl Leavian. At the age of eighteen, Ciradyl was caught in the blast of a poorly placed mining explosion in his home city of Blagstead, leaving him crippled with only one leg. 
Unable to work in the mines or carry out any manual labour anymore, Ciradyl was confined to his home and began to grow bitter and lonely in his isolation. He also took to studying, living in the city at the forefront of engineering and mechanics he was never short of papers or journals to read and go over documenting different scientists' life's works. Wrapped with curiosity he soon began venturing into artificing and quickly became a very proficient tinkerer. 
at the age of twenty four he made an incredible break through when he invented the first ever prototype clockwork leg. After three weeks of tinkering and configurating he was able to walk on it as if it were his own flesh and blood. He strode out into the street driven by a hubristic arrogance and superiority that had festered in his isolation, wanting the world to marvel at his creation and behold his genius. 
Having perfected the mechanics and hydraulics required to move his leg, Ciradyl quickly became aware of the fact his false leg was much stronger than his biological one and his hubris reached new heights as he began drafting blue prints for a mechanical arm using the same hydraulics. Once the initial prototype had been formed he lay it on his work desk and drew a bone saw from his drawer. Taking it to his arm he began hacking and sawing as blood splattered across his determined face. The arm connected and immediately whirred to life, punching straight through his desk as his own blood stained the steel fist. 
He couldn't stop, losing more and more of his own humanity as he butchered his fleshy body in favour of machinery, desperate to create a form superior enough to match his superior mind. At just thirty, Ciradyl had become nearly all machine and having lobotomised some of his own brain, he was now more monster than man driven only by his desire for dominance and self - improvement. At this point, he had forgotten his own name and scrambled for it in his notes, Ciradyl Leavian became C Leavian, which soon after became Cleaver. 
When he took to the streets he was met with horror. People ran in fear of this giant steel beast that now claimed to be their superior and began to arm themselves to fight back against the would be warlord. He massacred all who stood in his way just to prove a point then made his way to the harbour still dripping with blood. He wrapped a cloak around himself to try and hide his form and stowed away aboard the Raven's Triumph, captained by Bill Starling heading for Winval.
