===Childhood=== | |||
The hero was born to [[Great General]] [[Teo McDohl]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. His mother passed away from illness soon after his birth and he was mostly raised by [[Gremio]], Teo's attendant. As a child, he was extremely clingy with his father as his only surviving parent, even trying to sneak into his carriage so he could travel with him on military expeditions. | |||
During the [[War of Succession]], McDohl was kidnapped by [[Assam]] as leverage to use against his father. Taken to [[Sarady]], he would be rescued by the efforts of Gremio, [[Age]], and [[Ronettes]]. This experience, and Gremio's tenacity in finding him, endeared the young master to Gremio. | |||
With the support of Gremio and Teo's other subordinates, such as [[Cleo]] and [[Pahn]], he grew into a vigorous young man with a strong sense of justice. Master [[Kai]], meanwhile, trained him in the use of the staff as a youth. Once Kai left, his abilities became entirely self-taught. | |||

However, that changed completely when he inherited the [[Rune of Life and Death]], one of the [[27 True Runes]], from his best friend, [[Ted]]. This brought down the attention of Court Magician [[Windy]], who desired the rune herself, and he was soon driven from the Empire. Escaping [[Gregminster]] allowed him to see the truth of the Empire during his flight. Realising the increasing oppression and disarray, he found himself turning his back on the Empire. | [[File:Teo and son prepare to meet the Emperor.png|thumb|left|220px|Just be yourself: shut up and say nothing.]]He was sent to serve [[Barbarosa Rugner|Emperor Barbarosa]] when Teo was assigned on a mission to the north and was supposed to be assured of a future in the Imperial Army.
