Ian Crown

The Famine of Skymar caused a great many Skymarns to become fatally ill. One of many was Lorraine Crown, the wife of SWF General Ian Crown. This left Ian without a wife to tend to their son, David, that had a neurological disorder that inhibits his social reasoning but allows him to excel in the sciences as well as mathematics. David was left in the care of a professional while Ian was away.

Ian would return home from his latest tour of duty, and he officially retired from the service to become an advisor to the Skymarn Senate.

However, something unforeseen was about to take place. A recent scientific finding revealed to the Senate found that Skymarns with certain medical conditions were more susceptible to contracting fatal, contagious diseases, much like the one that claimed Lorraine. Ian stated that this was preposterous, but many of the Senate began to agree. Ian, fearful of his son’s future, lobbied furiously against it.

The news broke to the public regarding the potential “Purification Act”, which, in actuality, included the legal euthanization of all disabled individuals. The news incited hate groups and other criminals to attack mentally disabled individuals and even kill them. Crown, now in serious fear of his son’s life, realized he could not sit on the sidelines any longer. He placed his son in a remote location to protect him, and he gathered a team of soldiers to fight against the violence unfolding in Skymar and attack the government for it. Ian calls his group of soldiers “the Pure”, which has a dual meaning: to underline their pure intentions of protecting those who cannot protect themselves, and to mock the Skymarn government’s objective of purifying their people of irregularities through such insidious means.
