Sherlox Leocedes

Sherlox Damianos Leocedes is the established Prince of The Kingdom of Amarillo. He is the editor and founder of Amarillo's newspaper La-Republicana. Most people think of him as a friendly, but a calculating, slightly insane individual. He has served a
s a Minister in the Republic of Amarillo on three occasions, two of which were related to the military and one to culture. He also took part in the first struggle against Kibris squatters, which ended in a draw. While the second one, in which Sherlox did not take part, was won by the Amarillans.
Sherlox is known to live and have been raised in Puerto Amarillo, the capital of The Republic of Amarillo. He has also claimed to know the sacred Brontes Cephallic.
== Early Life ==
Sherlox Damianos Leocedes was an orphan, or so he thought, displaced by the Drakaen-Andlirian war. As a result, he had to grow up in a camp in Arcturus. Sherlox was angry and wanted to leave Drakaes, as vengeance for his family and in the present day, the Amarillan people. Many years later, Sherlox sneaks aboard a ship called "San Salazar". He meets this curious gentlemen, named Salazar Van Den Green, which was ironically the name of the ship. Sherlox quickly became friends with the determined man, and even stole food for him, while he was hiding. Unfortunately, Sherlox was due to be punished for this, by his hands being taken off. Not wanting this to happen, Sherlox stole a lifeboat and escaped during a dangerous storm.
Sherlox was at sea, for who knows how long, when he washed up upon the shores of Puerto Amarillo. As he lay there on the beach, Green came up to him, ready to kill, when he remembered his face. Green welcomed Sherlox with open arms, and provided him with a house and food. Things were starting to look up for young Sherlox.
== The Amarillan Civil War ==
A few years after Sherlox's last ministerial position before Green's impeachment, he set sail and left Amarillo to explore the world. When he returned, the once Great Republic seemed empty. Desolate, without laughter or joy. Something was strange, he ran around the city and found posters glorifying this new Royalist kingdom. He looked around frantically for Green, but he was no where to be found. Sherlox asked around and found out that shortly after Green was impeached, he went missing. Sherlox swore to himself that day, that he would do anything and everything in his power to restore the once great nation. 
Fast forward to the day of reckoning, the Battle of Puerto Amarillo, a battle that depending on who wins, determines the future of Amarillo as a whole. Spirits where high for the Imperialists before the war, they sang songs and ate before the battle. During the battle, Sherlox served in the back lines as a bowman providing crucial artillery towards the Royalists. The Imperialists eventually easily won the battle, only suffering 1 injured warrior. Sherlox was forced to go against some of his closest friends and even his, not yet discovered, brother. 
== The Arrival of Solon's Avatar ==
(This took place during Sherlox's travels) 
As Sherlox descended from his ship, he came across a few bandits. Easily dispatching them all, he proceeded to enter this strange temple. Sherlox looked around and he saw a statue of the Sun with the words "HAIL SOLON!" above it. As he looked around for treasures, Sherlox unknowingly stepped on a trap. Easily evading the first arrow, he was taken surprise by a second, then a third, then a fourth. With in minutes, hundreds of arrows were being fired at him, Sherlox was struck in the back and fell onto the statue. As his life was ebbing away, he thought of his father Green and all the unfinished ties in Amarillo, a single tear mixed with the blood on his face and dropped onto the statue. Sherlox was ready to forfeit his life...
The statue started glowing an ominous orange, Light broke through the sunroof and highlighted the young Mercenary. A loud voice boomed out from the sky, 
"Sherlox..." It said "Sherlox, I choose you." 
Sherlox looked up in surprise, all pain gone from his body. 
"W-Who are you?" He says in utter shock
The voice replies, it's voice shaking the entire temple, "I am the God Solon. The one who created this realm. I choose you Sherlox, to be my Avatar." 
The light disappears and Sherlox feels a mighty power imbued inside of him. He stands up, as arrows fire at him again, however instead of hitting him, they get incinerated before they are able to get close. Sherlox's sword is glowing with a bright flame, something that will remain with him forever. As he set sail to head back to Amarillo, he wondered why exactly he was chosen.
