Scintil

First King of Anakrion Scintil Karkena (a.k.a. Rexaen Prim)

First King and founder of the Kingdom Of Anakrion. Once a renowned king, now he is a legend, and most people assume him dead. In reality, he now lives in the Dertii Watchtower, living out his self-imposed penance, having degraded quite a bit, physically and mentally.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Poor. While his general structure is largely intact, there are a number of issues. The articulated jaw on his head is detached, his cloak and shape-plating is full of scratches, injuries, and general wear and tear, and much of his once-significant strength and speed is gone. Back in his prime, he could likely have matched the likes of Stringer or Mad, a remarkable accomplishment, but now he is only somewhat above Quaken and Tarno.

Specialized Equipment

The Wrath of the Founder is the sword Scintil wielded. Pictured in the image, it is a large greatsword with a high-quality Layered Chain Generator. It also has a special function, though purely for intimidation and spectacle. It has a set of flamethrowers in the groove, on both sides along the length of the blade. These can spew out flame to give the effect of a burning blade, truly one fit for a king.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Scintil's past before his involvement in Torgallon's politics and later the Kingdom of Anakrion's is a mystery. What little is known boils down to his home, a habitat above Kascuaiai, Enduring Conviction, some 200 lightyears from Earth. He arrived to the then-fledgling habitat of Torgallon before even Finira had been properly founded, and became involved in the politics not long after, assisted by some other politician, one who would come to be known as Rexilis Ileas, then only Faestos Termen. Eventually, he would push for a planetside settlement, and would later find himself being near-unanimously chosen as the First King of the new nation. Thus, he took on a new name and title: From Chairman of the Council of Torgallon, Scintil Karkena, to First King and Founder of Anakrion, Rexaen Prim.  

Exile

Not long after this, Scintil would end up leaving the throne, a mere four years into his reign. What exactly transpired has been kept a secret from the nation, and most knowledge redacted and hidden. It involved a city on the coast of Anakrion, which is no longer present there, not on maps nor on the planet's surface. After this, the King would just up and leave, telling no one but Faestos, and effectively faking his death to live out an exile of his own choice, in the abandoned watchtower in an unassuming part of a mountain range. He's been there since, degrading and falling apart, physically and mentally, for the past two centuries. He's little more than a shell of his former self, brutally attacking those who trespass. But maybe, with some reminder of his past and what remains of it, he could be brought back somewhat.

Intellectual Characteristics

Back before he went insane, Scintil was a brilliant politician, and able strategist. While he would often act rash be easily irritated, he could be serious if need be. The time after the incident, he grew increasingly somber and quiet, until eventually exiling himself.
