Ryiomand CLXXVII

Ryiomand CLXXVII, also known as Anthimos Kalfas, was an heir to the Ruby Throne of Ludos that joined the Old Guard in Liberus and took the place of the actual Anthimos Kalfas to live in the capital city of Ocyria and help the efforts in overthrowing the Lich Magier and forcing The Conglomerate out of the nation.
== History ==
Early Life
Ryiomand CLXXVII was raised in Liberus and taught the ways of an arbiter and a politician. His father's goal was to see him come to power after the defeat of the Lich Magier as the Old Guard was a force to be reckoned with. He was sent into the capital at age 18 to take the place of a young lordling loyal to the Guard and be treated in all respects as him. He took a wife, a deva woman named Sathos. The two conceived a child together, who was sent back to Liberus with Sathos for safe keeping and to be raised and educated in a similar manner to his father.
In the capital, Anthimos Kalfas became the defacto leader of the Old Guard forces that continued to cause issue for The Conglomerate wherever they could. His efforts were highly visible and he was seen as public enemy number one by The Conglomerate and City Watch of Ocyria. Finally, his secret base's location was uncovered by The Conglomerate and a massive attack destroyed it and his home. Anthimos was thought to have been killed in the raid, but he was able to escape thanks to the powerful magics of his advisor Dimitrios Zografos. Upon returning to Liberus, he knew his time was short and it would not be long before he and his family were found out and potentially captured or assassinated. 
=== Death in Liberus ===
At his insistence, his wife used magical traditions of her people regarding the ancestors to lock Ryiomand CLXXVII's soul into his kyrios dagger and to bind the soul of their son in the lands of death so that he could be brought back later into the world reborn. To perform this task, Sathos had to kill her husband and son in a ritual. It is believed that Sathos then took the dagger and granted it to a most trusted member of the Old Guard for safe keeping and the granted the Regalia of the King of Fire to Avran Normac, who would from that day forward call himself Ryiomand CLXXVIII.
