[[File:Axe of the Oath 3.png|thumb|left|220px|If only he had had his bandana....]]The hero was born to [[Great General]] [[Teo McDohl]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. His mother came from a common background and was considered to be a wise and caring woman. However, she passed away from illness soon after his birth and so the hero 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. | [[File:Axe of the Oath 3.png|thumb|left|220px|If only he had had his bandana....]]The hero was born to [[Great General]] [[Teo McDohl]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]].

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, [[Eiji]], and [[Ronettes]]. This experience, and Gremio's tenacity in finding him, endeared the young master to Gremio. | During the [[War of Succession]], McDohl was kidnapped by [[Assam]] as leverage to use against his father.

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. Realizing the increasing oppression and disarray, he found himself turning his back on the Empire and seeing the world for how it truly was. | This brought down the attention of Court Magician [[Windy]], who desired the rune herself, and he was soon driven from the Empire.

[[File:McDohl begins to turn to justice.png|thumb|left|220px|I was only following orders!]]Brought to [[Lenankamp]] by [[Viktor]] who saw the use of recruiting the son of an Imperial general, the hero had a fateful encounter with [[Odessa Silverberg]], the first leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. Struck by her willpower and ideas, he was gradually drawn to the ideals of her movement. He would begin to correct his own mistakes, rescuing [[Varkas]] and [[Sydonia]] from execution in [[Rockland]]. In the wake of Odessa's death, he would be convinced to take up the position of leader of the Liberation Army. | [[File:McDohl begins to turn to justice.png|thumb|left|220px|I was only following orders!]]Brought to [[Lenankamp]] by [[Viktor]] who saw the use of recruiting the son of an Imperial general, the hero had a fateful encounter with [[Odessa Silverberg]], the first leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]].

In the wake of Odessa's death, he would be convinced to take up the position of leader of the Liberation Army. Following this loss and the Imperial crackdown on rebel forces, the hero and his friends make their way through the [[Fortress of Kwaba]] under pseudonyms. Although recognized by [[Ain Gide]], he would be allowed to pass through as a favor to General Teo. | |||
[[File:McDohl levels up his magic.png|thumb|right|220px|The heavens themselves bless my patricide.]]In [[Seika]], the hero would convince [[Mathiu Silverberg]] to join the liberation cause. It was here where he would also accept Odessa's true final wish; for him to become the new leader of the Liberation Army, determined to fight for his own sense of justice. | |||
Following Mathiu's advice, the hero headed for the old castle on [[Lake Toran]] with the idea of turning it into a new Liberation Army headquarters. With the help of the sailor [[Tai Ho]] and [[Camille]], the group entered the foggy castle, defeated the [[Zombie Dragon]], and succeeded in gaining their stronghold. | |||
The war would continue to grow as the Liberation Army achieved success after success, uniting rebel factions throughout the Scarlet Moon Empire and toppling Imperial institutions in each region. The hero's will even managed to unite the forces of [[human]]s, [[elf|elves]], [[kobold|kobolds]], and [[dwarf|dwarves]] against the Imperial forces at [[Pannu Yakuta Castle]]. | |||
Bearing the Soul Eater, he saw the death of Gremio, killed his father, Teo, in a duel and witnessed the tragic fate of Ted. His father's peaceful pride in his son as he passed on was small comfort to him. Still, all the extreme hardships encountered in his struggle against the Empire never gave him pause. | |||
[[File:McDohl takes the axe.png|thumb|left|220px|Kinda grisly but free is free.]]Prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Viktor would give the hero [[Gremio]]'s copper axe. At the time of the tragedy in [[Soniere Prison]], the hero did not want to take Gremio's cloak and axe because he felt that if he did, it would mean accepting Gremio's death. But the many battles he had fought had made him a better and stronger man. Accepting the axe, the hero was now determined to win the battle for Gremio and for his many friends. | |||
Eventually, with help from his colleagues, he was able to lead the Liberation Army to victory, defeating the Empire and overthrowing Emperor Barbarosa. Following the war, he was offered the position of President of the [[Toran Republic]] but refused the position. He had fought for his friends, for his comrades who died believing in him, and above all for what he believed in. Such a position was meaningless to him. | |||
Entrusting his affairs to [[Lepant]], he left the country on a journey. | |||
