Dahaka

Biography
The boy showed a great aptitude for fencing from a very early age, which is how he became apprenticed to one of the best fencing masters in Adornia. He continued to display more and more outstanding results, invariably winning every tournament he fought in. The Master had already begun to groom the young man as his successor, when the destinies of everyone involved suddenly became enveloped in a shocking and dramatic turn of events.

The young man started to play truant with alarming regularity, devoting all his attention to a certain young beauty. The Master’s patience was soon exhausted, and he summoned his apprentice with the intention of setting him straight. However, the young man let the Master know — respectfully, but in no uncertain terms — that he considered his apprenticeship to be complete and would now take charge of his own destiny. “Then the final test awaits you!” said the Master, deeply offended, and challenged his apprentice to a duel to the death.

Like most contests among Adornians, the battle was furious. The young man sensed that he was losing, so he unleashed all the power that lay dormant within him. He eventually managed to prevail over his former master, but received a mortal wound himself. Then his lady decided to place the body of her beloved within a Prime Iterale...

Dahaka arose a hero, and his swordsmanship attained unprecedented heights. Even the Scarlet Rose, the symbol of his love, became a deadly weapon in his hands. Dahaka believes that the best way to punish anyone impudent enough to attack Adornia is a merciless Blood Ritual that sucks the vital fluids from its victim's body.
