Butcher Knight Kade

"I was born where monsters die, I died where monsters are born."
-Butcher Knight Kade
== History ==
A member of the company of soldiers encountered by Raine on his travels, Kade accompanied Raine and Lorn on their travels through Atlantis. A savage warrior who fights with Glut, a serrated longsword and Gorge, a serrated greatsword, he fought beside Raine in the rebellion. He was responsible for capturing and killing Princess Inrodyn, and for many other acts of brutality. When the Raine Knights were formed, Lorn made Kade his second-in-command. In this role, he serves as a battle commander and outrider, for he is a skilled huntsman who relishes the chase. The Butcher Knight would eventually fall in battle at the hands of a group of escaped prisoners from Sunken City. 
== Personality ==
The Butcher Knight is one of Raine's closest friends, along with Lorn Longstaff. He is devoted to his king and the ideals he espouses. Unlike Lorn, he does not trouble himself with Raine's increasingly bloodthirsty and erratic behavior, for it it mirrors the darkness within his own heart. Kade is a huntsman first and foremost, and is the vanguard in the fight against the Deep Ones. He has a great capacity to dehumanize his foes, and does not distinguish between eldritch horrors and defenseless islanders. In his mind, any enemy of King Raine is little better than a beast. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
When the Aglazderean Janissary company known as the Ghosts of the Deep engineered a breakout in Sunken City, Kade was dispatched to slay the prisoners. He was slain by them; a group of four that included Khamsa and Philoktia. This would not be the last of Kade, for the corruption he endured at the hands of the Deep Ones would prevent him from dying. Kade would rise from the dead as a Morkoth, a terrible abomination and servant of the deep. Instead of armor and blades, he would wield sorcery beyond in comprehension in the service of one cause - the destruction of the Throne of Atlantis. 
Kade would aid Philoktia in her attempt upon the life of King Raine, emerging victorious and slaying his former friend. He would use his newfound power to speed up the corruption of the surviving Raine Knights, transforming them into mute monstrosities. 
== After the War ==
Kade and the corrupted Raine Knights would swear service to Lorelei the Reborn, and commandeer a ghost ship. Allied with the Deep Ones, they would prey on the Isles and the Final Empire, determined to seize Thunderdome for their once and future queen. Category:Water Genasi
