Toy Soldier Haido

Lore

Haido was made by the elves in Nick's workshop as a secret gift to show their appreciation for his hard work. Built with superhuman skill in singing magical songs that washed away one's anger and fatigue, the toy soldier was almost ready for his debut when disaster struck. In the dying embers of the workshops' wreckage, he arose with a child-like naivete, eager to sing songs of joy to any who could hear while his innocent eyes clouded his perception of the death around him. Deciding that haste in finding Nick was the best course of action, Haido made his way across the forest in a rather clumsy fashion. The first place he came across was a village that had been attacked by the bandits, and in its blackened ruins, he sang a song to ease their pain. His inability to relate to human fragility and mortality, however, made him a figure of suspicion among the survivors. Nevertheless, he felt that he had done some good, and continued on his path. Soon, he came across a group of rough individuals--a turn of fortunes for the itinerant wanderer, for hidden in the bushes nearby was the object of his search.
