Fallen Knight Galtier

Lore

In order to become a knight, one must be of noble birth and pledge their allegiance to the kingdom. These "knights" of the uppercrust are often a little more than ruffians, picking on the peasant folk at their own pleasure. And then there are the "onion knights"; they were noble not of birth but in deeds. These "onion knights" were recognized by the kingdom for their valiance and sacrifice in mankind's greatest times of need. They were revered and honored by the peasant folk, but scorned by the highborn. The man known as Galtier was one such onion knight. Born the son of a farmer, Galtier proved his worth as a mighty warrior by slaying a powerful demon wolf that lived in the dark woods. Thus Galtier was handsomely rewarded with his very own land, manor and title. Having tasted the power and wealth he never had in his entire life, Galtier desired for more. He commissioned a master blacksmith to forge him a weapon unlike any other, using the fangs of the demon wolf he slew. After the weapon was forged, Galtier struck down the very smith who forged the weapon, along with his helpless daughter. He could not risk having anyone come into possession of a weapon more powerful than his. He alone would be the hero of the people. Little did he know of the fate that awaited him--that the innocent daughter of the blacksmith he slew would return with far more power than he had, and claim the vengeance that she was due.
