Reytt

## **Reytt, The Warden**

Reytt is an old but powerful mage specialized in controlling metal objects. In his youth he used his talents as a blacksmith’s assistant, and currently (with a little help from Souhhu) he mastered precise control of chains, hooks, blades to perfect his executions. His body was augmented by multiple implants provided by The King himself, thanks to which he is still in very good condition despite his advanced age.

Reytt is driven by his desire to punish those who abuse their power and hurt those who cannot defend themselves. He started as a travelling vigilante, and after being recruited by The King he oversees the Chain Den, and personally executes Guard officers who were caught on breaking their Vow of enforcing the law and protecting people of Greavesoyl. He occasionally still goes on field missions to detain criminals, both as a leader of a squad or solo. Due to his morbid job most people, even other Guard members are afraid of him and he is generally avoided. Soon after settling in the Chain Den Reytt befriended Souhhu, an earth demon who dwells under the Den. As a demon with hundreds of years of experience with magic she was able to teach him a lot, making his executions much less sloppy.

## **Story**

All aspiring Guard officers have to witness the Rite of Chains before they can take the Vow. They are taken to the depths of the Chain Den where the Rite takes place, to see and hear as a former officer who broke their Vow, or some especially vile criminal is executed in an unimaginably cruel ways as a punishment for their crimes. The Rite can last for hours, and only the one performing the torture, The Warden of The Chain Den, is unmoved by the screams of convicts he breaks and rips apart. Afterwards the officers can go take their Vow, and the Warden returns to his usual duties.

The Warden never talks to the people watching his executions. He rarely even speaks to his colleges in the Den, and it’s a miracle to see him without his iron mask. Not many people even know his real name, and even fewer know about his tragic past. Unlike some Seran nobles think, the man named Reytt was not always a cold overseer and executioner.

Long ago Reytt lived with his younger sister Mevi in a small village near Anrain. Their father died in an accident in the mines, and their mother left to chase a better life in New Satra, but they never struggled with money. Both of them were born with innate magical talents. Reytt was a powerful ferromancer, and was paid well for his work in local smithery. Mevi was a true magical prodigy, fluent in all ways of elemental magic, and their plan was to move to Rohoim so Mevi could study there as soon as she would be 14 - the lowest age she could join the Kijha Academy. Their future was so bright, and these were the last years when Reytt was truly happy. One sunny day Mevi left the house… and she never came back. He was forever changed when the Guard knocked to his doors 2 days later, bringing the tragic news. Mevi’s body was found on a road near the village. She was assaulted, raped and killed.

The Guard’s investigation led to a powerful businessman who owned most stores in the area. He was put to a trial in Anrain, but by tons of bribery and blackmail he managed to clear his name. Reytt could not afford to hire a psiomancer who could read the businessman’s memories to prove he was the killer, and the case was dropped. Full of anger, hatred and pain, Reytt vowed that he will not let the bastard who killed his sister walk free, nor the corrupted judge and Guard who allowed this. They spat on the Law they were meant to enforce, and if they couldn’t bring a criminal to justice then he would do it. The next night he broke into the man’s manor, and dragged him to the road with the iron chains he torn from the fence. Ignoring the threats, pleads and cries for mercy, Reytt eviscerated his first victim in what could be considered the first Rite of Chains. Corrupted judge and the officers were his next targets, and after dealing with them he left his home village forever. He moved from a place to place, never staying too long and never looking back. Whenever he could, he killed Guard officers who abused their power and criminals who paid their way from punishment. He lived as a brutal vigilante, first becoming a rumor, then an urban legend, and in the end, a figure feared by those he was after.

The Guard tried to arrest him multiple times. Finally, the King’s Emerald Agents posing as common Guard officers caught him during his travels. Reytt was sure it was the end, and accepted his fate, but to his surprise, he would not be executed. The Agents brought him to The King himself, who was both impressed, and deeply disturbed by Reytt’s work. Reytt was, in fact, a vigilante serial killer, and should be hanged for what he did, yet The King preferred to not waste his talents and experience.

Instead, he offered Reytt a deal. A job where he could do what he did so far, but under The King’s direct command. An office in the Chain Den, where his skills of inflicting pain would truly shine. All the tools he would ever dream of, and even a prolonged life.

An offer for a life Reytt could never even dream of.
