Broken Soldier Image

You were forged in chains and darkness, your body and mind hardened in the endless grind of the city’s mines. The cruel weight of slavery was your only past until war pulled you into a new life—one of blood, sweat, and battle. You don’t remember a time before the harshness, but the habits it drilled into you remain: watching, analysing, understanding patterns — because missing a detail could mean death.

War isn’t just a duty. It’s an opportunity — to dismantle the broken systems you once suffered under, to expose the rot beneath the surface, and to strike where it hurts most. You don’t fight for glory. You fight with purpose — calculated, relentless, and unflinching.
