Squad Leader Bort

Second lieutenant to the army of Draconia, Bort was the third greatest warrior in the kingdom, but the wisest strategist. His leadership and influence contributed to the rule of the three False Gods of Draconia’s Empire until he encountered resistance.

The Draconia Empire, while long reigning, was adamantly opposed for decades by an underground military force named Dissentia. The Draconia army raided the resistance after a scout infiltrated their ranks. They massacred the entire encampment, except for two children: Ruby and Rutile.

Bort, honorable as a warrior, spared the children, but the general was not as honorable. Bort, took up arms against the head general to protect the children, but she wounded him in his narrow escape to the outskirts of the kingdom with the children in tow. As he bled out at the edge of a river, Ruby and Rutile placed their hands over his wounds, stitching each fiber of his flesh back together.
