General Deken Zarnaeus

The Tyrak military leader had taken an interest to the more traditional methods of his people. From a young age he was enamored with the ancient battles of Tyrak culture and even more so, their weapons. He had a specific predilection for the Tyrak battle axe.

Into his military career, he had quickly earned a reputation as the most brutal and ruthless leader in fighter in Tyrak history. He earned the nickname “the Butcher of Tyra”. He was well-verses in all forms of combat, but he preferred his own battle axe, which was forged in the depths of the oldest volcano on Tyra, the Throne of Tyram. Zarnaeus became known for his methods of brutally interrogating captured enemies and killing them afterwards.

There was one night when he was on leave, and he took advantage of a young Tyrak woman, as it was acceptable by ancient Tyrak culture. She became impregnated, and eventually gave birth to a son, Norvok Elmont.

The Butcher of Tyra led a mission against a team of Skymarn separatists, hoping to assassinate the Tyrak leader. This was foiled by Zarnaeus and his people. During the mission, Zarnaeus discovered a young teenage Skymarn girl, Althea Everton, forced against her will to align with the separatists. He took her in and trained her to become an assassin. However, during the mission, the second-in-command made a mistake that got most of the platoon killed. This earned him Zarnaeus’s unmatched fury and his death. Soon after the mission, Zarnaeus and those that supported him were incarcerated. This was short lived, seeing as they were soon freed by the man that would become their new master: Lord Dominus.
