Demorian (Chapter)

Intro
Demorian was the second member in Antioch to obtain the rank of Knight. Demorian is widely considered to be one of the most powerful and influential Verditians, largely responsible for the success of the Verditian styled government in greater Antioch.
Fighting Style
Demorian's favored weapon was the kelv. He relied heavily on abusing it's superior striking ability to overpower the equipment favored by enemy fighters. Demorian's kelv featured a longer handle than was standard at the time, his techniques with the kelv were more 'flow' oriented, using the handle's leverage to more quickly maneuver the weapon.
Demorian was quick on his feet and excellent at disengaging unfavorable situations with an impressive leap backwards. When cornered Demorian would often utilize his kelv as shield and shove enemies away.
His ability to reduce enemy shield-walls into disarray was legendary in the dagorhir community, and he was widely regarded as the best red user anyone had ever come across. (It is important to note at the time the general consensus in the dagorhir community was that red weapons were gimmick weapons unworthy of real battle)
Techniques and Contributions
* Demorian's Kelv handle preference became the empire-standard for War-bound era Kelvs.
* Demorian pioneered the old heavy red techniques of hard engaging an opponent with a swift heavy red shot, baiting an obvious counter-attack, swiftly using the kelv as a full body shield, then sweeping for a second shield shot, effectively breaking the shield. (Red! Block! Red!)
* Demorian was one of the crafters responsible for the standardized designs of insurrection era weaponry.
* Demorian's work with kelvs put red-work at the center-point of Antioch society.
* Demorian exposed enemy fighters as creatures of habit instead of ever adapting warriors.
* Demorian's footwork with a Kelv is still largely a part of modern Antioch red-fighting.
