 Biography

Captain of the "*Phantom Blade"* and Admiral of the Undead Legion's "Deathfleet", Lord **Brus the Cruel** is behind some of the major events that took place on the seas of Lore. A pirate legend in his own right, Brus sank countless ships in the name of Dage the Evil and the Undead Legion. Brus to this very day is the only member of the Undead Legion with his Soul still intact. Dage needing a strong and loyal pirate lord in order to control the seas of Lore, didn't touch Brus' soul in order for Brus to be more powerful. It has proven to be fruitful as Brus and his ship the *Phantom Blade* are now the most dreaded legends across the seas of Lore.

### History

Brus the Cruel is one of the first pirates to plunder the Seas of Lore, although truth be told, it started very poorly. At first he had no success in finding a crew, as anyone he talked to would either scoff or walk away. But one night in a tavern, he awoke from a drunken slumber to find an Ancient Coin had mysteriously appeared on the table in front of him. Seizing the opportunity, he made a trade with the pirate Lango from Lolosia. The Ancient Coin for a ship and crew, and a secret shrouded in darkness. After obtaining his ship, the *Phantom Blade* he set sail for the lands beyond the Devil's Shroud.

Upon arriving into the Seas of Lore, Brus followed Lango's advice to seek out a strange, tattooed old woman who gives him a treasure map. Unbeknownst to him, the map led the way to the cursed Kraken's Chest; a haunted vessel contained by the Merfolk that attracts Krakens. Despite the unnatural nature of this chest, Brus was convinced this was his path to fame and glory. Soon after the chest was stowed aboard, the Phantom Blade was ambushed by competing pirates. In a desperate bid to escape, Brus foolishly retreated his ship into the Devil's Shroud. The Phantom Blade was ripped apart by the deadly fog, and the chest lost to the depths.

Stranded on an unknown island, the crew was beckoned into a cave by a riddle leading to a Golden Chalice of unlimited water. After drinking from the Chalice, the crew ventured deeper into the cave in search of more treasure, slowly losing their minds, flesh, and human needs, until they were transformed into Phantoms.

With this new condition came untold power. Brus used this power to reassemble his broken ship and commanded his now undead crew to man their stations. With the Phantom Blade rebuilt, Ragnor set sail back into the Seas poised with Pirates and Naval Commanders alike. The Phantom Blade soon became a legendary ship, sinking most of Shadowscythe's and Swordhaven's fleet. The Pirates of Lolosia didn't fair any better and soon enough the pirate lords have united under one banner in order to take down the cursed ship and it's crew. Thousands met their end in the battle that ensued and the Phantom Blade impervious to damage, was still sailing. Having a need for new ships and new crewmates to fill in the ranks of those new dreaded vessels, Brus raided a nearby island with his crew of cursed Phantoms. What they found on that island would change Brus forever. A king, gone mad in pursuit of power made himself a lich and signed a contract with the Archfiend, his people suffering under his rule. Brus used this turmoil in order to raid the kingdom for supplies and then slay and ressurect the dead in order to refill his ranks. The King soon caught attention of this and the battle between the Lich King and the Pirate lord ensued. The battle ended in a stailmate and both him and the Lich King retreated from the fight.

With the ships stolen and ranks filled, Brus once again set sail but this time with a new purpose. The Lich King was powerful, and even though circumstances made them enemies, in time this rivalry would heal and be put to an end, and alliance would be formed. Thousands of years have passed and the grudge that the Lich King held for the Pirate Lord has ended. The Lich King was no other than Dage the Evil himself, now seeking to rid himself of the Archfiend's grasp over him. Brus would once again come to him, this time with an offer. They would form an alliance, with the Lich King supplying Brus with new crew, ammunition, a port where the ***Phantom Blade*** could dock and his fleet could be safely repaired and rearmed. In return, Brus would help Dage rid himself of the shackles of his master and help him reconstruct his kingdom.

This marked the beggining of the The Legion. The Lich King, a powerful Necromancer, amassed a massive army of followers and set his eyes on the Underworld. He would take over the Underworld and become a new Dark Lord with the help of Brus the Cruel. While Dage fought the Archfiend's army on the land, Brus fought them on the seas. With a massive fleet at his side, he claimed a dozen of victories in the name of the Undead Legion. Once the Underworld came under Dage's control, Brus was appointed as Dage's second in command and his most trusted ally. Dage keeping to his end of the bargain, gave Brus the command of the Legion's Deathfleet, a place in the Underworld and an endless supply of new recruits. Today Brus uses it to establish the control of the seas and make a kingdom of his own.

## Real life story

Brus lives in Croatia, Europe and played AQWorlds since 2009. As gaming was one of his biggest hobbies, he spent most of his time on AQWorlds and now AQ3D farming and questing.

When Dage the Evil introduced The Legion to AQWorlds and AQ3D, Brus was one of the first to follow the new faction. Becoming a legionnaire in heart and soul. Together with his friends, Darkon and Kaysuo, he shared the love for art and even Dage himself recognised his talents.

Being creative by nature, he also drew and wrote stories, which drew the attention of Gjappy with whom he often discussed story concepts, and occasionally showed his art to as well. Brus was greatly interested in Gjappy's lore about the Angels and pondered to be both angel and legionnaire, yet he took a turn and decided he will be a Shadowslayer making him a character of goodish allignment and dark appereance.

Besides AQWorlds and AQ3D, Brus played a lot of other games and is active in the community. He befriended Dage the Evil in game sharing the same interests and humor.
