Loken Angelos

**Loken Angelos** is one of the main player characters in the Band of Fools series. Loken is a vengeful wandering mercenary and former Jaeger of the Royal Order of Gortmund until he was betrayed by his best friend and the kingdom was ransacked and destroyed by demons.

He will be introduced in LOKEN: The Fallen Knight.

## Personality

Loken's VIRTUE is fortitude, while his VICE is wrath. Loken is a deeply traumatized and guilty individual whose berserker tendencies surface upon the mere mention or sight of a demon.

To ground himself in times of crisis, he keeps memories of his mentor Sir Deckard and his faith in the light close to his heart.

## Story

### Early Life

Once a knight of the royal order, Loken was born from a family with a strong sense of duty to protect and serve the people of Gortmund. He was trained at a young age and learned the ins and outs of being a knight, becoming one of the kingdom's best knights together with his best friend, recruited by Sir Deckard, a mentor they all respected. After his training, Loken went on a journey accompanied by his best friend and fellow knights to become Jaegers, the hands of justice and righteousness, and the highest rank in the knights of the royal order. The journey was filled with harsh difficulties from encountering Black Dog Bandits to slaying dragons the size of hills, and fought anyone or anything the order saw as dangerous and heretical.

Unfortunatley, Loken's best friend was corrupted by a powerful, manipulative succubus, persuading him to betray his fellowship and allow her demons to infiltrate Gortmund. Upon arriving, the demons raped and pillaged its people and destroyed the royal order for good. This left Loken in a fit of rage and anguish, especially when his best friend ordered the execution of their fellowship. Loken, however, managed to escape and kill many of the demons, but the event traumatized him forever, witnessing his comrades mutilated, beheaded, and raped. As Loken looked for his best friend, he found out that he was the culprit, and this discovery broke Loken physically and mentally. As he returned to his kingdom, he was stripped of his knighthood and exiled due to rumors of acts of degeneracy, forcing him to resort to mercenary work.

A few months later, stories spread around neighboring lands of Gortmund's fall to demons and a single knight possessing powers far beyond what was thought possible, even for mages. Loken had acquired a sense of bloodlust in the months since, and would routinely wipe out entire bandit clans in fits of rage. Now a wandering mercenary traveling all over the world, Loken leaves a trail of blood and vengeance wherever he goes.

## Equipment

* **Jaeger Sword:** The standard-issue greatsword for a knight of the Royal Order. Since Loken has used it to kill so many demons, it has become covered in demon blood and viscera, applying an effect on the blade that deals more damage against demons.
* **Reinforced Jaeger Armor:** In his days as a knight and Jaeger of Gortmund, Loken wore durable armor that protected him from the worst that the world had to offer. Upon the fall of Gortmund and discovering the fate of his fallen comrades, Loken took pieces of his comrades' armor and integrated them into his own, reinforcing the helmet and lower leg guards.
