#Alistair Rowan Blackthorne (Aka. Retired Marksman) Summary: A marksman expelled from the army for defying a corrupt noble. He settled in the North, beyond the reach of tyranny. Trait: Hunt Lv. 3 (Starts battle in Prowl) --- ##Biography Alistair Rowan Blackthorne was born into a family of modest southwestern landowners. He inherited neither prestigious titles nor extraordinary fortunes, but he did receive something he would cherish throughout his life: an upbringing grounded in duty, honesty, and responsibility. From a young age, he displayed exceptional talent for marksmanship. While other soldiers excelled in strength or bravery, Alistair possessed almost supernatural patience. He could remain motionless for hours, observing a target, waiting for the precise moment to act. This talent led him to the army. Over the years, he became one of the best marksmen in his unit and earned an impeccable reputation among his comrades. He was a disciplined, reliable, and efficient soldier. Officers respected him, and recruits admired him. For a long time, he believed he was serving an honorable institution. Then he learned the truth. In a remote province, a local nobleman used imperial troops to crush innocent peasants protesting against exorbitant taxes and illegal confiscations. When the orders came to open fire on the crowd, many soldiers obeyed without question. Not Alistair. He refused. Not only did he refuse to fire, but he publicly denounced the nobleman's actions to his superiors. It was a mistake. The nobleman wielded influence. Alistair was simply right. The investigations were manipulated. Witnesses disappeared. Reports were altered. Ultimately, the blame fell on him. He was charged with insubordination, disobedience, and misconduct. His career ended overnight. His decorations were revoked. His name was erased from the honor rolls. And the corrupt man he had denounced continued to enjoy his position. Homeless and purposeless, Alistair left the South. For years he wandered forgotten roads, working as a hunter, scout, and escort. Little by little, he distanced himself from the cities, from politics, and from everything that reminded him of the institution he once served. Finally, he reached the Far north. A land where winters killed more people than wars. A land where monsters wore no crowns. There he found something he thought he had lost. Peace. Not a comfortable peace. Not a happy peace. But an honest peace. On the frozen frontiers, no one asked him about his rank or his past merits. They judged him solely by his ability to keep his word and protect those who depended on him. And that was enough for him. As the years passed, Alistair became a well-known figure among explorers, hunters, and caravans. It was said that he could hit a target from an impossible distance. That he could detect an ambush before it began. That he never abandoned those who traveled under his protection. Some even claimed that he was more dangerous when he stood still than when he fired. Alistair never confirmed nor denied any of those stories.
