Royal Blade Rahotep

Lore

Born from a passionate, yet short-lived union between a god-touched noblewoman and a headstrong soldier, Rahotep found that happiness was not meant to be his. Abandoned at the age of ten after his father died in a distant war, he took what few possessions he had and made his way to the army barracks. Despite their surprise, his prodigious skill with the blade and the mark of divinity on his brow convinced them to write his name into the rolls. He steadily climbed the ranks, and soon he had found himself recruited into the ranks of the royal guards. With his assignment to a kind-hearted priestess of the royal household, he witnessed firsthand the many injustices the nobility carried out, yet his station gave him no right to speak of it. Confiding his fears in the priestess was enough for him, until one day she chose to speak up against the God-King's own decadent son and his excesses. Angered at her temerity, the God-King attempted to cut her down, but Rahotep blocked the blow with his body. His own divine strength barely held his mortal form together, and the world seemed to shake in the strike's wake. Just before his soul was plunged into the underworld, he ripped a piece of the God-King's divinity away and somehow made it his own. Thus did Rahotep die, and was subsequently reborn.
