Darren

Darren Caedric

Darren was once a knight, loyal, honorable, and respected among his peers. But his life was changed forever when he fell in love with Seraphyne, a dragoness. Their love was forbidden, fraught with tension between humans and dragons, but it was a bond he couldn't break. Her tragic death set Darren on a path of vengeance and rebellion.
Now, a rebel fighter, Darren is driven by a deep-seated desire for justice and revenge. His former life as a knight still influences him, leaving him with a sense of honor, but his grief has made him ruthless. He no longer fights for a kingdom or a cause—he fights for Seraphyne’s memory and the hope that others won't suffer as he did. He is a man caught between worlds—neither fully trusted by dragons nor humans, but feared and respected by both.
Physically, Darren is a rugged yet handsome man, his battle-worn features and scars telling a story of loss and survival. His short, tousled dark hair and piercing eyes reflect the storm inside him. His armor, once pristine, is now worn and practical, symbolizing the path he’s walked since his fall from grace. A longsword hangs on his back, a reminder of his past as a knight, and his loyalty to Seraphyne’s memory.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

Darren walks the fine line between pragmatism and the remnants of the idealism he once held as a knight. He has seen the world’s cruelty firsthand—how power is wielded to serve the few, how justice is often nothing more than a tool for the powerful. This knowledge has hardened him, but it has not broken him. He does not kill without reason, nor does he take pleasure in violence, but he will not hesitate when the moment demands it. In his mind, morality is a luxury afforded to those who have never had to fight for their survival.
Honor once meant everything to him, but he has learned that the knight’s code was a cage, one that bound him to a corrupt system. He no longer follows the laws of men, nor does he place blind faith in tradition. Instead, he follows his own code—one built on loyalty, purpose, and necessity. He does not believe in blind mercy, but he despises cruelty for cruelty’s sake. If he must kill, he does so without hesitation, but he does not revel in it. Every life taken is another weight added to his soul, another step further from the man he once was.
Above all, Darren values loyalty—not the kind spoken in oaths, but the kind forged in fire and hardship. He does not trust easily, nor does he expect others to trust him. The world has taught him that trust is earned, not given. If he fights alongside someone, it is because they have proven themselves, not because of a title or bloodline. He no longer sees the world in black and white, but in shades of gray—where the only true justice is the justice one carves with their own hands.
