Rufus

Born in the twilight of a crumbling kingdom, Rufus grew up witnessing injustice firsthand. While nobles reveled in luxury, commoners starved and froze. Rufus chose rebellion. After the monarchy’s fall, he became a mercenary—not for gold, but for justice. He never abused the weak and inspired others like Gina to join his cause.

But fate is fickle. One day, Rufus accepted a mysterious commission: escort a client into a hidden underground valley. The mission was cloaked in secrecy. As they ventured deeper, the valley distorted their senses—time warped, memories frayed, and companions disappeared. Only Rufus and the client reached their destination: a forgotten relic of a powerful civilization said to hold the key to awakening the planet.

Despite overwhelming odds and his waning strength, Rufus completed the activation ritual. As a blinding light erupted from the relic, he glimpsed a vision of civilization’s rise and fall. Then, everything went dark. He awoke alone. His client had vanished, and the past felt like a distant dream.

With no clear answers, Rufus wandered the subterranean world until he reached a hidden settlement. There, he earned the trust of the locals, becoming a silent guardian among them. Years later, another expedition found him and brought him back to the surface. Though everything had changed, Rufus found comfort in seeing The Eagles still thriving under Gina’s command.

Time may have stolen many memories from Rufus, but not his resolve. He remains a symbol of endurance—one who braved darkness, mystery, and madness to light a path for others to follow.
