Background - "Life was good for him when he was one of the best military people and
always had been loyal to his King. Unfortunately, his fate turned upside down when his Emporer
got massacred by the spies and few of his own deceptive diplomats with the help of a rival ruler,
along with his family. Turned out, there was nothing for him but to stay in shadows and hide for
a while. Once a heart of pure and believed in true justice but seeing betrayals all around him,
subsequently he gave up on his morals and ethics and was more willing to bring all the
necessary evils around him to get all his enemies annihilated.

Knowing he was weaker than before and didn’t have years to rebuild the army, he learned all
the way to get the darker magic to enhance his strength, with the help of shady and
manipulative Shamans (cults following big deadly birds). During this time he sacrificed his own
men, killed their families in secrecy to offering their blood to his own Gods as some rituals.
Gradually his practices became infamous among his followers and they started questioning his
moral sense. His remaining sensible army deserted him for his cruelty and ill practices, but he
never left his ceremonies, blinded and lured by Shaman’s promises of vengeance. He started
kidnapping villagers and their domesticated beasts to get the dark rituals going on. This made
him so ill-reputed and feared that everyone started to tremble whenever they felt his presence.

He finally succeeded in gaining the confidence of Shamans and he was rewarded with a giant
King Garuda bird (mix of an eagle and vulture) and a box that contains the souls of magical
flying vultures. Along with his handful of blind followers, he marched onto the palace to conquer
the city, believing in his prized possessions, his dark skills and strength.
