Darius Basilich (Ulysses Universe)

== A Bloodied Soldier ==
Darius, known throughout Azeroth as a fearsome and ruthless warrior, began his life in the bustling city of Stormwind. Born into a family of soldiers, he quickly followed in their footsteps, displaying prodigious strength and combat prowess from a young age. His rise through the ranks of Stormwind's military was swift, as his brutal efficiency and unwavering loyalty earned him the respect and fear of his peers.
During the chaos of the Third War, Darius served valiantly, his reputation as a formidable fighter growing with each battle. However, despite his dedication, he became increasingly disillusioned with the leadership of Stormwind, perceiving them as weak and indecisive. This discontent reached its peak when he encountered Jericho Swain, a powerful and ambitious leader who had forged her own path and established the city-state of Noxus in the desolate region of the Blasted Lands.
Impressed by Swain's vision of a meritocratic society where strength and skill reigned supreme, Darius made the fateful decision to leave Stormwind and join Swain's side in Noxus. His departure was seen as a betrayal by many, but Darius was resolute in his belief that Noxus offered the opportunity for true power and greatness.
In Noxus, Darius quickly rose to prominence, becoming Swain's most trusted general. His unrelenting brutality and tactical genius made him a key figure in Noxus's expansionist campaigns. His most infamous act came during a war with the night elves of Ashenvale. Under Swain's orders, Darius led a devastating assault on the forested region, determined to crush the resistance and secure Noxian dominance.
The campaign was marked by unparalleled savagery. Darius's forces razed villages, slaughtered defenders, and set fire to the ancient forests of Ashenvale. The once-vibrant woods were reduced to smoldering ruins, and the night elves were driven to the brink of annihilation. This ruthless act earned Darius the infamous reputation of a bloody killer, a symbol of Noxian might and mercilessness.
Despite the horror and destruction he wrought, Darius's actions solidified his place as a legend in Noxus. His dedication to Swain's vision and his unmatched prowess on the battlefield made him a hero among his peers and a terror to his enemies. Under his leadership, the Noxian armies continued to expand their influence across Azeroth, bringing Swain's dream of a united and powerful empire closer to reality.
Darius's legacy in Azeroth is one of bloodshed and conquest. His unwavering loyalty to Swain and his relentless pursuit of power have made him one of the most feared and respected figures in the history of the world. As Noxus continues to grow under his and Swain's rule, Darius remains a symbol of strength, ruthlessness, and the indomitable spirit of Noxus. The ashes of Ashenvale stand as a grim reminder of his ferocity, a testament to the lengths he will go to achieve victory and enforce the will of Noxus.
== The Rise of the God King ==
His reputation reached new heights when he ventured into the dark and treacherous realm of Revendreth. Here, Darius sought greater power and confronted some of the most formidable foes in existence. His most legendary battle took place against Grommash Hellscream, the fearsome orc warlord who had been condemned to Revendreth for his deeds.
The clash between Darius and Grommash was nothing short of epic. The two titans fought with unmatched ferocity, their blows shaking the very ground beneath them. In the end, Darius emerged victorious, felling Grommash with a decisive strike. As Grommash's lifeless body lay before him, Darius absorbed his anima, the essence of his soul, granting him unparalleled power.
This infusion of anima transformed Darius, elevating him to the status of God King. His hair turned a stark white, and his eyes began to glow with a golden hue, signifying his newfound divine status. Along with this transformation came the ability to summon a dark wolf, a manifestation of his relentless spirit and newfound power, to fight by his side.
As God King Darius, his rule over Noxus became even more formidable. His enhanced strength and abilities made him nearly invincible on the battlefield, and his dark wolf companion struck fear into the hearts of all who opposed him. Under his and Swain's combined leadership, Noxus's dominance over Azeroth was unchallenged.
