Luther

**Luther** is a commander of the Lanthanor army.

## Appearance

> A litany of scars on his face, as if most of his life had been spent on the battlefield. Wearing black clothes with what looked like padded armor on top, his bulging muscles seemed to be trying to break free of the confines they had been placed in. His beard and hair were black with many white streaks running through them, while his nose looked like it had been broken many times.

## Background

He stumbled to the border of Lanthanor with his body covered in blood he was 10 years old. Despite having been questioned repeatedly regarding his past, he only answered that he didn't remember. He showed remarkable talent in almost all aspects of warfare, so he quickly rose up the ranks.[*citation needed*]

> At the tender age of 8, he had been left behind at the foot of the mountain by someone unknown. He had no memories, and his cries of fear had attracted a sect member who had been going up the mountain, making him contact the sect to ask what he was supposed to do. They investigated the villages all around, but did not find the parents of the child.

>

> Finally, he was taken up to the sect.
>
>

> He grew up with no parents in a place where people learned to kill as their profession. The sect had tried to recover his memories to no avail, so he was left alone. He wasn't very talented as an assassin or a Fighter, so he wasn't valued by the sect. Still, he was pitied and given leftovers.
>
>

> When he was old enough, he began to work as a sparring partner for young assassins in training. No matter how many hits he took, he would always stand up and be ready for more.
>
>

> Alas, he didn't reach the standards of the Hidden Kill Sect to be trained as an assassin. Yet, the instructors took a liking to his qualities and still taught him a bit in their spare time.
>
>

> Still, most of his day consisted of being beaten up and then mending his injuries while learning whatever he could.
>
>

> His luck changed when he was noticed by one of the then most talented assassins in the sect: a man called Agmar. He was officially adopted by him, as Agmar was, himself, an orphan who had been left behind in the sect.
>
>

> They were together for five years, and they became closer than son and father.
>
>

> Trouble came when Agmar's wife gave birth to a son. She had never liked the relationship between Agmar and Luther, so she had never been close to him, but she supported her husband grudgingly as he was someone who really wanted kids.
>
>

> However, now that they had their own child, she became envious of the relationship that they two had.
>
>

> She felt that her own son would be ignored, so she plotted against Luther.
>
>

> She struck when Agmar was out on an assassination mission, calling Luther to her room and threatening him that if he didn't leave without giving any explanation, she would plant evidence that Luther was trying to steal the sect's techniques, which would break Agmar's heart and also implicate him, as he was responsible for whatever Luther did.
>
>

> Luther cared about his adopted father's feelings more than anything else, and he was also very grateful for everything he had done for him. After talking to Agmar's wife and finding out how she really felt, he knew that there was no future for him in this sect in which his father would also be happy. So, without hesitation, he left.
>
>

> He had gone to Lanthanor as they were actively recruiting then, and he had stayed there ever since while keeping the memories buried inside his heart. Of course, he couldn't help but pine for the only man who had cared for him, but he never considered going back.
>
>

> Back in the sect, the woman that was the cause of Luther leaving had made up another story. She told Agmar that Luther had only been with him to become strong enough to fend for himself in the outside world, and with his goal accomplished, he left the sect as he knew that with his limited talent, he would not have risen much there.
