Anwir was once king of a small nation. His people were cheerful and industrious, and his kingdom renowned for its prosperity.

Meanwhile, the inside of Anwir’s head was filled with the endless, open-jawed scream of pure violence. All he wanted to do was slash, rip, maim, and then bathe in the blood of his victims. In short, being king of some fancy and boring land did not come naturally to him.

When Enkidu united the Free Reigns and began absorbing smaller kingdoms into the new faction, Anwir saw his chance to escape. He summoned every one of his subjects to a grand celebratory ball the night before Basthet’s messengers would arrive, plied every one with intoxicating spirits…and then used fire magic to set the castle ablaze from a distance. In just a few short minutes, everything that prevented Anwir from living his best worst life went up in a puff of greasy smoke. He escaped with no witnesses and every single piece of Gold his victims had ever earned for him.

Many years of Anwir’s life have been lost (after all, murder victims rarely come back to report what happened to them), but what is certain is that the faction known as the Dark Blades grew around worship of him. But unlike a true cult leader, Anwir didn’t care about fawning acolytes. In fact, the more deferential a monster was to Anwir, the more likely it was that he’d kill them out of sheer annoyance. But the money the Dark Blades brought in through assassinations was just too tempting—he couldn’t kill all of his little moneymakers, after all. So Anwir put Balthazar and Nishant in charge of the daily grind, content to snatch up the lion’s share of every take and to perform his murderous rituals in private.
