The Dread
Pirate Tydus
As a young boy he was orphaned, knowing
nothing about his original bloodline. His brother Jentar and he had
become quick rivals. Their foster parents adopted them. Their mother
was a metal crafter specializing in rare exotic armor and masks.
Their father was a holy crusader, and champion tournament fighter.
He was known for combining the arts of many different martial arts
styles, he taught his sons, as much as he could at a very early age.
The boys were taught to fight with courage and honor. Their biggest
lesson being the survival of the fittest. Battle soon became a part
of their lives, nay, a necessity, required, like food. One day when
the boys were merely 13 years old. A group of bloodthirsty bandits
came into their small town and began massacring it. The boys were
forced under the floor boards to bear witness to the murders of
their beloved mother and father. With most of the city in ruins and
the boys now the only survivors, they burned down their house dug
graves and buried their past. They both swore an oath of vengeance
they burned the rest of the city to the ground in a penance for not
being strong enough to kill the bandits. It was at this point the
brothers went their separate ways, go it alone, in hopes of finding
the bandit lord that destroyed the only good in their lives. They
were destined to face one another on the field of battle someday.
Tydus on his journey joined a monastery
where he gained knowledge of navigation, he learned to read and
write. However, this was soon also taken from him along with his
first love and betrothed. It occurred while he was hunting deer.
Finding the mark of the bandit lord (a carved X with an underline on
the spine) upon his dead wife, he is said to have gone mad with
rage, his inner soul like a raging wild fire. There would be no
piece of mind for him nothing could cure the pain he felt. He
quickly began tracking the prints of his enemy until being ambushed
by a large group of bandits. He was merely a stupid kid rushing into
battle with blind rage. He wasn’t going to make it against the
numbers of the bandits. He killed as many as his body would let him
utilizing all his father had taught him. However he fell, now at
seventeen, a prisoner being held at the mercy of the bandit lord.
Starring him in the face he could find no words, questioned and
beaten, he could say nothing. He could only look at him with eyes
dead to emotion. No hope, no faith, everything in life taken from
him, living only to kill the man standing before him. Then a man
emerged from the shadows with a blue and white feathered hat holding
a large bag. Being confronted the bandit lord left the area to talk
with him. Tydus awoke the next morning on a ship with iron cuffs on
him. Tydus was sold as a peasant to the life at sea. The man in the
hat was Captain Wolf. Tydus, grateful for saving him, revealed a
small portion of his potential to the good captain and swore an oath
of loyalty asking only one thing in return, the bandits head.
Impressed the Captain promoted him freeing him of irons. The Captain
even gave him back his worldly possessions, his curved scimitar and
silver mask. To this day Tydus searches for two things, his brother
Jentar and the bandit lord.
