Daman

A swordsman of unequal strength, Daman has long been an enemy of Skyler and Keith. Thought to have perished After the Goddess's War, he survived, and having corrupted Skyler, knew how his mind worked, and constantly worked to undermine his power and influence. He even indirectly was involved with Skyler's death, having trained his son, Daniel, to kill Skyler. He is easily distinguished by his dark black armor, and crimson cloak.

Early Life
Not much is known about Daman's early life, other than the fact that he was born to nobles of the Montillegro Caste in Begnion. His parents were both nobles in the aristocratic government of Begnion. He grew up with a sense of nobility and superiority over the common man, something that would prevail even to his adulthood, never believing that any other man was as good as he was, or fought as well as he could. Also, it should be known that Daman's father often beat him, for no reason whatsoever. It's for this reason that Daman developed into such a psychotic killing machine. He feels no sympathy for his enemies, or for anyone, for that matter.

Before the Mad King's War
Before the Mad King's War, Daman traveled the continent, engaging in many fights, and building up his skills. He was a Branded, so he knew that he'd live for a long time. He knew that to get ahead, he would have to train in some sort of fighting style. He chose the sword, simply because it was something that he was familiar with; many of the Begnion soldiers and guards wielded blades. He built up his skills to the point where only two other men could probably have touched him; Skyler and Keith. However, he never met the two until further on. He became a mercenary, taking any job no matter how dirty or difficult, completing each task with perfect precision and talent. He easily became a wealthy man, able to afford to buy men to work for him, leading to the employment of men such as Kane and Raidon, two friends who would serve Daman for the next 50 years as his lieutenants. As the events occured that would spark the Mad King's War, Daman attempted to take over the Crimean monarchy, however failed in King Ramon's assassination. He was exiled to an island off the Crimean Coast, where he would plot his return to Tellius, not only as a fighter, but as Dictator of Tellius.
