Rrul Rivecleave

## Legionnaire Rrul Rivecleave

</section>

## About/Personality

Rrul is a typical Blood Legion soldier; He lives to serve the legions and nothing, or no one, else- Although this is slowly changing in recent times, with Ruinbringer's escapades. His warband is his family, and he is very proud of them.

## History - Rough Beginnings

Rrul was born in 1298 AE to Vastor Crashmaw, Blood Legion Soldier, and Tinus Ghostcaller, Dishonourable Gladium and merchant, in Smokestead. His dame being a Gladium wieghed heavily on Rrul as a cub- many Fahrars turned the young charr down due to his mother's past.

When Tinus found her cub a Fahrar, things did not get much better for Rrul. Whispers of his heritage soon turned into nasty rumors about his mother's deeds within the Rend Fahrar Warband, but the cub would not be defined by his dame's past, and did everything he could to prove he was not like her. This meant that where the other cubs would try, Rrul would need to try twice as hard, to prove to his warband he was a true charr, but also to prove to himself that his birth did not define him.

This went over very well with the Primus- a slightly ditzy Blood necromancer named Devourwrath. Rrul quickly became her personal favourite in the warband, and, much to 'legionnaire' Tibertius Rendsight's dismay,  was made second-in-command of Rend Warband by the Primus.

## History - A Gladium, found.

Rrul's time in Rend Warband was short-lived- Once the warband had graduated fahrar, Tibertius made short work of framing Rrul for the death of a warbandmate, casting the warrior from her warband. Rrul lived as a gladium for a short while, making coin in the bane, until he won a fight against Legionnaire Gorespark of Gore Warband.

The legionnaire, impressed by Rrul's prowess in battle, invited the gladium into his warband. Rrul happily took the oppertunity, becoming Rrul Goresunder, and worked with Gore for a large portion of his life. While in the warband, the legionnaire became close with Vai Goreshot, Gore's sniper. The two had two cubs in their time together- Tisun and Lynus. All was good in Rrul's life until a fateful mission against Flame Legion.

Gorespark, Goreshot, Goresunder, Gorespread, and Goresound were tasked with taking out what the warband thought was a small encampment of Flame in Diessa, which turned out to be a trap. Gorespread turned traitor, killing Via and Goresound. Rrul and the Legionnaire retreated, and returned to the Black Citadel, where it was revealed that the legionnaire had been poisoned, and did not have long to live. With Gore being only two members, and one being close to death, Gorespark told Rrul to take his blessing to create his own warband, but to let Gore, the warband that Gorespark had loved so, to die with its legionnaire

## History- Cleave Warband

And thus, Cleave Warband was born. Cleave had humble beginnings- With the support of Tribune Blackfang, Rrul was sent two recruits- Rachel Tonguecleave and Caig Cleaveshot- and a mission to see if he had what it took to lead a warband. The mission was to finish Gore's work- and wipe out the Flame camp in Diessa. The three did well- although heavily outnumbered, and Rrul being injured, but they met an enslaved mesmer medic, Hadar, who joined the warband in their fight, and healed the legionnaire-in-testing.  Hadar was blinded in the fight, having his entire face burnt horrifically for his actions, but when the Flame camp had been wiped out, the warband took him with them, getting him the best medical attention they could. Hadar's sight could not be saved, but he felt indebted to the legionnaire and joined Cleave as teier non-combat medic.

Cleave's next mission was with Steel warband of Iron- Steel had developed a bomb that was meant to kill ghosts for much longer than traditional methods, and needed an escort to the Foefire's heart to plant and detonate it. This mission did not go well in the slightest- Steelcatcher was felled by ghosts, the bomb destroyed, and Cleave was swarmed. The warband sustained heavy injuries, and Rrul was sent to the medic's quaters for an age. Tonguecleave went on to find another warband while her legionnaire was out of action, but Cleaveshot and Tumultcleave stayed by his side.

After months of medical attention, the legionnaire was allowed to leave the medic's and got straight back to building up his warband, with a lot of pressure from Centurion Axefell. On his search, he recruited Dexious Fiercecleave, a skilled young warrior with strange blue hair; Rija Stonecleave, an ornery ex-iron brute who broke the legionnaire's hand in her recruitment; and Heron Brightcleave, a pure white and extremely arrogant guardian. The warband did very well, compleetng a good amount of missions together.

After a while, Cleave was put on the case of the Wild Warband Renegades, a mesmer-worshipping cult of anti-treaty charr under the guise of making all charr; magi or warrior, equal. They worked alongside Lunar Warband of Ash, and the two warbands worked decently together despite their differences, until a showdown with Wild's leader, 'The True One.'

Things seemed to be going fine until, on a mission lead by Legionnaire Sela Lunarstep, the charr named 'True' and Brightcleave seemed to recognise eachother- turns out, True was Brightcleave's sire. The white charr tried to stop the warbands from fighting his father, and, when they wouldn't, defected to Wild Warband in pursuit of power and glory.  Rrul blamed Legionnaire Lunarstep, who was leading the mission, while Lunarstep blamed Rrul and Cleave Warband for True getting away, and the two stopped working together.

With the loss of the warband's guardian, Rrul scoured for new recruits, in the end recruiting Attlus Omnicleave, A revenant who spoke to the spirits of his deceased warband; and Graf Towercleave, a guardian who hid his magical prowess. Attlus' stay was short-lived, and with the re-joining of Flame Legion to the high legions, Rrul was sent a new member by Centurion Axefell- Sargas Broadcinder, an ambassador of Greetsglory's Flame in the Black Citadel. Sargas was tasked with 'fixing' the warband after Brightcleave and Omnicleave's leaving (much to Rrul's displeasure,) and the Elementalist lead as a brevet for a small while, taking Rivecleave's forces to cull her old Flame regiment in Fireheart Rise and to report back to Axefell with how to improve the warband. The warband succeeded with flying colours, and Axefell got off of Rivecleave's back for a while.
