Jet Chthonios

The Cthonios family were one of the first groups of human refugees to swear their allegiance to the Old Iron Kingdom after the 3rd Cataclysm. They served dutifully and with honor since then, and The Cthonios family's fortune rose with the Kingdom.

Jet is the inheritor of a legacy of honor and service to the ancient kingdom and strove to be an exemplar of his family's ideals. For years he served, protecting the kingdom from bandits, monsters and raids from New Ore Guerillas. As hhis duty too him across the Buried Kingdom, Jet's rock solid beliefs about the Old Iron Kingdom and his place in it eroded. He no longer felt sure this was where he belonged, but could not even find the words to express his deconstruction. He had given his fealty, but must his life be spent in servitude? Was he just a weapon, a tool to be used? Sometime to defend the innocent, but other times to kill others fighting for their own beliefs.

Jet kept his inner turmoil secret for years, until he fell heroically in battle. He awoke days later, and found he was missing presumed dead. In "death" he found freedom, and left to wander the world to in search of himself.
