Linus (MLIV)

Linus is a Main Character and a major ally in "Miracula Luxia IV".
Having disappeared a few years ago due to an accident involving Darkthrop's forces, he was presumed dead by everyone. However, this was only a ruse, as he was still alive and well, successfully allying himself with the ones who took him hostage and becoming one of the heralds of the dark world the evil wizard has always been dreaming of.
However, Darkthrop's influence has vanished ever since Adam spared his life and helped him walk on the path of redemption, allowing him to see that he still has chance of making a mark in this dark world with the newfound light within his very soul.
He is a former warrior trainee in the School of War and Magic, as well as a classmate of Adam Kaos and, later, the boyfriend of his sister- Akira Kaos, who served as the secondary Antagonist of "Miracula Luxia IV" 's second Chapter, as well as the primary Antagonist of its fifth Part, but redeems himself not long after.
After joining Adam's group, he serves as one of the most prominent Main Characters and Allies in Chapter IV and, to a certain extent, Chapter V.
== Overview ==
Linus is a young boy, whose loyalty was turned toward the darkness.
Having studied in the School of War and Magic with young hero Adam Kaos, the boy developed a clear jealousy of how he was always better than him. He always saw him as an obstacle in his way and shunned him when he tried to befriend him.
At that moment, LInus was a jealous, but mostly neutral boy. He never hurt anyone else... until that one fateful moment that completely changed his life.
One evening, Linus and the other trainees were sitting in the school's halls, unaware of what was going on outside. And then, the forces of darkness attacked. They flooded the school en-masse, attacking anyone who would dare to stand in their way. It was only through a combination of sheer determination and the school's well-trained defenders that those fiends were finally fended off.
But the victory did not come without a cost, as Linus himself lost people that he cared about. Ignoring the pleas of his teachers and fellow students, he grabbed his sword and went outside to fight the creatures of darkness. Due to the training that he received, he managed to slay three of them, but soon became overwhelmed by the others, who sought revenge for their fallen comrades. He was close to falling in battle, until his parents arrived and pulled him out of this mess. 
Even so, the well-trained warrior and mage were no match for the combined forces of Darkthrop. As soon as they made sure that their son is safe, the dark creatures focused on them instead, dragging them down and ending their lives before they could even say goodbye to their child.
Linus was left an orphan. Desperate and deranged, he saw no reason to go to school anymore and decided to drop out. Fellow classmates tried to find and console him, but soon realized that he had left the city, braving into the unknown with little more than his sword, a week's worth of food and water, as well as the clothes on his back.
The young man journeyed through the ravaged lands, looking for a chance to forget what he saw in the past. He met many people, completed many quests. And yet, he never felt satisfied. For him, it was not good enough.
One day, the forces of Darkthrop found him. However, instead of trying to run away, he simply allowed himself to be captured, giving the warriors of darkness to recruit another tool for their master.
Linus took no time to exchange pleasantries with his enemies. Having agreed to their demands, he accepted without a question and joined one of their groups, becoming its leader.
All those years, Linus has been operating in secret, safely eliminating Darkthrop's enemies before they could become a nuisance. But it is clear that his plan is falling apart. Soon, a fatal mistake might expose him to the enraged public. And then...
Let's just say that the aftermath will not be pretty.

=== Deleted Sequences ===
* Originally, Linus was supposed to serve as the Main Antagonist of Chapter II. He was going to fight Adam and his allies, in a desperate effort to prevent them from reaching his master. Ultimately, he would have been slain by a notable member of the group (Most likely Adam) and buried in the town of Duskwood, despite the protests of its residents. However, with the introduction of Phaerzon- the true Main Antagonist of the Chapter- this idea was immediately scrapped.
