Background and History

At the age of 14, Rune was a devoted guard in his hometown of NetherDeep. His life revolved around his duties, patrolling the city and protecting its people. However, one day, his routine patrol took a tragic turn. During a seemingly normal shift, Rune fell victim to a powerful hallucination cast by an enemy force. This hallucination distorted his perception, making him believe that his allies were actually enemies plotting against him. Driven by this false reality, Rune attacked and killed those he thought were threats, not realizing they were his friends and fellow guards.

The truth came crashing down when the hallucination lifted, leaving Rune devastated by the realization of what he had done. His once-trusted comrades lay dead at his hands. The city's government, unable to overlook such a grave mistake, sentenced him to death, viewing his actions as an unforgivable betrayal.

Desperate to avoid his grim fate, Rune used his extraordinary powers to escape from the clutches of the government. In his turmoil and anger over the perceived injustice, he channeled his abilities to wreak havoc on NetherDeep. Consumed by rage and a deep sense of betrayal, he unleashed his power on the city, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

It was days after the chaos when Asael discovered Rune. However, Asael’s interest in Rune was not driven by sympathy or concern for his past. Instead, Asael was solely focused on harnessing Rune's incredible power. Asael saw in Rune a valuable asset, one whose abilities could be exploited for his own ends. Asael cared little for the details of Rune's past or the reasons behind his actions; the primary concern was to control and utilize Rune’s formidable strength.
