Background

• Born in Realm Year 714 in Arjuf.
• Joined the Legions in RY 722, his charisma and leadership skills earning a position as a low-ranking officer.
• Served for 8 years before being captured by the enemy in a failed battle before being sold as a slave.
• Bought by a merchant as a bodyguard, but his skills quickly earned him a position as an advisor, almost a business partner, making sales pitches, helping negotiate deals and translating.
• Earns his freedom in RY 735 and opts to stay on with the merchant's retinue as a free agent.
• In RY 740 his former master and current mentor retires and gives him a good reference. He quickly found employment with a Merchant Prince in the South. He became the director of a caravan in his new employer's name. This line of work went on comfortably for some time untill...
• In RY 751, his employer expanded his business further south. When the caravan dropped off it's shipment of food and began to take on slaves for shipment back north, he was furious. When the caravan began it's return trip, he began to plot the release of the slaves. When the caravan was attacked by raiders, he saw his chance. Moving quickly from cage to cage and speaking in low, forcefull tones, he unlocked the slaves bindings and had them follow him. After stealing supplies, they ran for the cover. After three days in the wilderness, they reached a barbarian village. Despite the language barrier, he managed to negotiate for shelter and safe passage.
• For 15 years he lead the band of freed slaves and began a gurrila campaign of raids on slave caravans, learning the ways of their barbarian hosts to move unseen through the desert and to strike without warning. By the time the Guild began to respond in force, he and his followers had already become very good at not getting caught. Not all things last forever though.
• In RY 774, the Guild had put up with enough. A huge force of mercenaries was sent to scour the south, and in a matter of months they had tracked down his followers, slaughtered them to a man and captured him alive. He was brought before his former employer, who was planning on relishing a good long session of toruture followed by a flashy public execution...
• But halfway through his gloating speech, Storm found strength he thought had been beaten out of him. He interrupted the dragonblooded prince, speaking in a low voice at first, but quickly building to a furious roar that echoed through the manse. The power of Sol Invictus fowed into him, and with his second breath he delivered a righteous tirade, verbally beating the merchant prince to a pulp.
• With his newfound prowess, he escapes the city and flees into the desert, wandering for days before entering a trance, comuning with the sun as he walks the scorching sands. Several hundred miles south of Chiaroscuro he stumbles uppon the First-Age tomb of his previous incarnation, built in the wake of the usurpation and forgotten beneath the sands along with the entire city it was built in. He recovered the mighty artifacts his ancestor had been buried with, as well as several well-preserved tomes of knowledge detailing the workings of first age society and governance.
• RY 775-866: TBD. IOU one explanation as to why one of the greatest leaders, orators and businessmen of the age is penniless, friendless and scavenging for his meals in a walking collection of priceless artifacts.

Appearance

Storm is an old man. His skin is wrinkled and weathered, and his long hair is grey. But rather than appearing weak or worn down, he exudes an air of confidence and wisdom born of long experience. The lines on his face speak of volumes of character and history, and one cannot help but be drawn to him in hopes of being regailed with a tale of past glories or deep wisdoms. He speaks with a voice like distant thunder, every word filled with a sense of truth and right. In a crowded room he can make someone feel like he is speaking directly to them.

He wears his Celestial Battle Armor wherever he goes, wrapped only in a travel-worn cloak. His helmet is retractable, sliding up for protection or down to expose his face at a thought. It's design incorporates the Crown of Thunders, locking into place around it.
