Backstory

  Exeden was born to an aristocratic household in the city of Harglast. In this city, the rule of law was those the most ruthless and callous were at the top, and honesty and compassion was for the slaves. Exeden's parents were no exception with their position. Regarding their only child, fortunately neglect was their preferred parental style (as compared to severe abuse of his peers). As such, from Exeden's perspective his true family were the slaves of his parents who were assigned as his caretakers.   Most particularly was a woman dwarf named Elnora. She had secretly instilled a moral compass into Exeden through her compassion and care, that Exeden himself had begun to exude. When he had become a teenager, his father had taken notice of this. When it was time Exeden could be considered as having aged into adulthood, his birthday surprise was his forced viewing of the brutal execution of Elnora. He was told this was to ensure his success as future heir to the household, and to bring out his brutality necessary to be the successor. Exeden complied fully.   Training rigorously in combat, wholly driven by malice. He had severed his ties with the other slaves, becoming wholly independent. 'Those who bring others into their problems are weak', and he believed himself to have been the weakest of all. It was his fault Elnora had been killed, and it was his burden to bear. After many years of training, never wavering in his resolve or anger, he had challenged his father to a duel of combat. It was customary for the child to duel their parents when they were ready to take the head of the house, in a fight to yield for display of the other houses.   Believing his son was on the path that he desired, had agreed. In this duel, once it was clear Exeden has taken the fight, his father attempted a yield, but Exeden didn't stop. It was then he went all in, breaking his fathers jaw, and beating in his head until he cracked his skull and bled from the ears. Satisfied that he could no longer hear his fathers labored breath, he stood up and faced the shocked crowd: "This is the pinnacle of your rule of law. Should you not be cheering?" As a result of this, because he had only broken tradition, but no laws, he had been exiled from the city and stripped of his name. His only regret was not having been able to slaughter the rest of those who lived as his parents had.
