He has a scar running across his chin and various other scars under his armor. Bio: Silus was born into the Cross family of Alvina, A family revered as Dragon Hunters and as such he was trained from an early age to become a Dragon Hunter in his own right. The training was harsh and unforgiving but the young Silus endured wanting to prove his worth to the family. And although the process was long Silus slowly grew into a promising hunter. And by the age of 16 he was allowed on his first real hunt. Silus' early hunts into the Takari Wilds were very successful and even at a young age his score began to grow. And at the age of 18 he slew his first Drake and was bestowed with his very own Dragonsbane Dagger to prove himself a full member of the Cross family. Silus' score continued to rise and he was a shining example of what the Cross family was about, and by the age of 25 he received the great honor of being chosen to represent the Cross family in a Shadowlands Hunt. The journey to the Shadowlands was difficult enough, a three month boat ride across the Great Sea and waters plagued with all manor of beasts. Before they had even reached land Silus had had his fill of these new lands and strange creatures. But that was only the start of his journey through the Shadowlands. The group spent a month hunting a Green Wyvern and in the hunt had to fight off many other beasts. Unfortunately Silus was apart of the Scouting group the day the Wyvern was killed. The unfortunate part was that the scout team didn't find the Wyvern the Wyvern found them. The beast was upon the group in a flash and the fight was over quickly. The scout team was massacred and Silus was left for dead by the beast. Reinforcements soon arrived and Silus was given medical care, but his role in the hunt was over. And worse than that he had been bested by a beast and therefore his score was forfeit. The other members of the group did not leave Silus to die, but he was an outcast for the entire trip home. Upon his return to Alvina Silus was publicly disowned by the Cross family and exiled from their estate. With no where else to go Silus turned to the Black Order in attempt to rebuild his score and regain what he lost at the Shadowlands. It has been Six years since Silus joined the Black Order and in that time he has regained much of his lost Score, and even moved his way to becoming Captain of a squad. But it will take something truly impressive if he is ever to be acknowledged by his family again. Fighting Style: Silus’ fighting style isn’t anything to flashy, but it is very efficient. Using as little energy as possible when on the defense and ensuring to strike vital areas while on offence, the combination of these two skills makes Silus a feared opponent to man as well as beast.

Under his mask he hides his Slave Brand knowing most new recruits from the Empire would look down on him as a Slave. Bio: Born a slave in the small town of Danenfoth Siegfried never was destined for an easy life. From the time he could barely walk he was forced into hard labor but is was his bad attitude and "That look" which lead Siegfried into a different form of Slavery. At the Age of six he was sold to "The Pit" an arena where slaves would fight for the amusement of the people. From the age of six he began his fight for survival. There was no formal training in the pit all you could do was take in anything and everything the older slaves were willing to pass down and from there build up your own fighting skill and power. All that was left was for you to survive. Luckily the people of the empire aren't (entirely) Savages and Siegfried didn't have to step foot into the Arena until he was 16. And due to his strong will to live and the fact he had been in The Pit quite a bit longer than most of the slaves his age group he soon shot up the ranks to be one of the top spots in his generation. But that spot, although it did lead to some luxuries was more a curse than a blessing, as Siegfried's fame grew so did his adversaries. The young boy had more Challengers than he could count rarely getting more than a few days to rest before being thrown into the fray of battle again. This Cycle continued until Siegfried was 23 and the day he meet his Reaper. That day turned out to be one of the most challenging days of Siegfried's life. A free for all brawl of a tournament all for the reaper's enjoyment. Not only did Siegfried have to fight against his normal rivals, but all comers young and old from any division of The Pit. And after five grueling fights, one mock mission in which Siegfried and a team of his choosing fought to the death with live Orcs captured just for this event, and an unmissable final round, only one foe stood in his way .... The Reaper itself. In all aspects Siegfried should have died in that final fight, but somehow he pulled through actually slicing the Reaper's mask in two before it could finish him off. With that move the Reaper saw the final thing it needed to see and accepted Siegfried into the Black Order. In the 13 years since then Siegfried has made the Order his home, and although he has never made any move to put himself into a leadership position he has made his name well known throughout the Order in a good way. Fighting Style: Survival - Siegfried's entire fighting style is designed to survive. Without any real or proper training his moves are almost feral and unpredictable, but yet sometimes flashy from his old need to please the crowd. Due to his time in the Pit Siegfried is proficient with most weapon types, but he prefers a sword to most other weapons.
