Appearance
Kairon stands nearly seven feet tall, his skin a weathered shade of oxblood red. His obsidian horns sweep back from his forehead, engraved with military service numbers. He wears the singed, reinforced remnants of an officer's heavy coat over leather trousers, leaving his massive, scarred torso exposed. His eyes are two glowing pits of amber that flare when he draws his notched greataxe.
Mannerisms
Kairon has a habit of sharpening his fingernails with a combat knife when he is impatient. He tends to stand at rigid attention whenever he is addressed by someone he respects.
Personality
Kairon is a man of few words and profound stillness until the moment of violence arrives. He possesses a grim, gallows humor common to career soldiers who have seen too many friends die. He is fiercely protective of those he considers his new unit, though he maintains a professional distance to guard his heart from the sting of inevitable loss.
Ideals
Loyalty. The person next to you in the mud is worth more than the crown on the king's head.
Bonds
I carry the names of every fallen member of the Iron Vanguard carved into my greataxe's haft.
Flaws
I am prone to fits of blind, uncontrollable rage when I witness authority figures abusing their power.
Quirks
Background
Kairon was born into the Iron Vanguard, a specialized shock trooper unit composed of those the empire deemed expendable. For two decades, he rose through the ranks, his infernal heritage making him a natural for enduring the brutal conditions of the front lines. He wasn't just a soldier, he was a brother to every man in the Vanguard, leading them through impossible sieges with a fury that seemed to set the very air on fire. However, honor in the trenches was met with treachery in the capital. His entire legion was sacrificed as a political distraction during a botched coup, sent into an ambush with no support. Kairon was the only one to crawl out from under the pile of the dead, his rage sustaining him when his lungs should have failed. Now he wanders the world, a veteran without a war, hunting the men who traded his brothers for gold. He carries their banner not as a memory, but as a promise that the Iron Vanguard will have the last word.
