**Bronn Luxprin** is the immortal last Champion of DIV, the former God of Radiance, and one of Io's most legendary historical figures. He began his journey to greatness as a ally of the Fallen Heroes during the Voidstar Incident, after which he claimed credit for felling the eldritch being. As the newly acclaimed Starslayer, Bronn earned the patronage of the All King Tenebraum and the blessing of his beloved deity. He rejoined the Fallen Heroes during the Dragon War and continued to adventure with them for some time after its conclusion. However, when his comrades began to question and inevitably challenge the gods, Bronn betrayed them to protect the status quo and his deity's supremacy. However, he was struck down and DIV was subsequently killed.

With the blessing of DIV still sustaining him, Bronn survived the next 500 years into the Age of Mortality. Going by the alias of **Abel Avlys**, he became involved in a lucrative job to retrieve a relic of the first All King, the Ruby-Eyed Scepter. However, Bronn had ulterior motives for this quest, and managed to use the body of the All King to resurrect his old liege lord Tenebraum, However, things did not go as planned, and Bronn lost both his king and the trust of his allies shortly after. However, motivated by these events, Bronn's holy power returned and he amassed a following known as the Faithful. With them at his back, Bronn reclaimed the ruined city of Haven and rebuilt it as the new hub of his religious order. Bronn also made peace with the nearby Kingdom of Nue-Alabhastar after defending it during the War of Shadows, tying it to his new domain.

Bronn would eventually become the ruler of Alabhastar and crowned himself its Immortal King. For the next few centuries, Bronn founded cities and spread his religion throughout the land. Eventually, however, he would abdicate from his role, claiming to be going on a pilgrimage to some unknown destination. However, Bronn never returned, and the power of his kingdom dwindled away after the Shattering of Io.

Bronn was a member of several campaigns across multiple Phases of the World of Io series. He began as a member of the Friday group for both the *Voidstar Act 1* and *Voidstar Act 2* campaigns of Phase 1. During Phase 2, he was a member of the *All King* party and the titular protagonist of the campaign *Bronn*. He is played by Lawlman.

## History

### Background

He is a devout, if not zealous follower of the ancient god DIV as well as a strong devotee of his liege King Tenebraum. Bronn was inflexible in his beliefs and his rejection of Void and all things tied to it.

Blessed with an extended lifespan, he would centuries later join a band of adventurers under the pseudonym Abel, carrying an agenda of his own: to revive his Liege, King Tenebraum.
