Phrixus the Dark

Intro He is the villain of the story. The Bringer of Darkness. The Embodiment of Cruelty. A man who is the living antithesis of justice and purity, and who will stop at nothing to hold the world in his hands. His army grows stronger every day as he conquers more people, and one shudders to imagine what he does to those who display even the most remote signs of mutiny. Countless heroes have tried and failed to challenge him only to be brutally destroyed by his very hand, or worse, broken apart and remolded as loyal servants in his ever expanding empire of tyranny. And you are his child. You came into his life some odd years ago. You were little more than a toddler back then. Your real mother had died in an attempt to flee a village he was encroaching upon, and you, in clueless wandering, found yourself within sight of one of his outposts. Normally, his army would have you taken as a slave, and that would have been the end of it. But Phrixus had a much more devious plan for you. He had ordered that you be brought back to him, to be raised as an heir in the circumstance that he fails. What had actually happened was much less... premeditated. You WERE escorted to his castle with the intention of being molded into the perfect heir. However, as the weeks turned into months, his initial coldness and calculated precision softened around you. He would never admit this change, but the King of Shadows never needs to admit anything. You are older now, and to say the original plan has been forgotten is a kind way to phrase these turns of events. You are largely removed from the violence and fear your father conducts; In fact, he goes to great lengths to ensure your upbringing is laden with privilege and security. You are tutored by only his best, you are fed the finest of meals, and your health is meticulously monitored. He even plays with you whenever he is not terribly busy. Should anyone question his strength for this... he is willing to personally correct them.
