You are not a hero by choice but rather one created to deliver revenge for others. When a grievous wrong was committed against those who could not defend themselves, you swore to provide retribution for them. Whether it was the slaughter of people unable to defend themselves, an injustice that destroyed the lives of people you swore to protect, or the killing of the last good man in the world, you were consumed by the need to hunt the perpetrators and punish them. It could be a corrupt noble, a rival clan, or an evil cult. Or perhaps it’s larger than that - your enemy could be the cruelty of fate, the systemic oppression of an entire people, or a corrupt system of government.
Your old life is gone, for you now have a single, driving purpose. You are now vengeance in mortal form, ready to do whatever is necessary to deliver punishment of your own choosing. This is not a quest for justice in the eyes of the law. You have witnessed that the law is powerless or complicit. Your path is a solemn duty, relentless, and absolute. You have transformed both body and spirit into instruments of retribution, mastering the skills needed - learning to track, to fight, and to terrify.
Because your journey is all-consuming, you are vigilant not to let it become a corrosive one. You fight against the descent into cruelty, of becoming like to monsters you hunt. You balance it with a fire of righteous fury. Your hope is the prevent others from becoming victims by making the guilty pay through fear and violence.
