Senoske Himoura, a man with a dark past, but now he stands tall, a shining beacon of light for those who stand against evil. This is his story.

Early Years
Senoske was a baby boy when his father had his mother and him sent off to the Far East Island, rumour has it that Senoske was the illegit son of a Atamarian nobleman whose identity is still unknown. His mother fell ill shortly after arriving and died, leaving baby Senoske in an orphanage. Senoske grew bitter there, recieving no love, and in return giving none. Then one day a man appeared at the orphanage, with a cruel sword in one hand, and a whip in the other. The man killed everyone at the orphanage except Senoske. He looked Senoske in the eyes and said "Vengance child. It drives me. Do you not wish you were the one who had killed them? Those who bring you suffering?" Senoske nodded and Erlang laughed and continued to speak "Good my child, come with me. I will show you how to be strong, I will show you how to take vengance upon the world for what they've done to you."
And so Senoske left with the man. He travelled far and wide with Erlang, before returning to the Far East Island. Senoske enlisted at the young age of 14, and soon rose through the ranks, using his training with Erlang to his advantage. He was ruthless, and fought wars that according to both the Arcaean and Svunnetland governments never really happened. Then he was promoted from his command and put in charge of a task force in charge of protecting the All-King, Einar. Senoske used his new post to his advantage, seeking to eliminate his enemies. He sent one man after a politician that was his most hated enemy, Zhao Ziyang. The man managed to poison the mustard at Zhao's estate. However the taster died and the hit failed. Senoske was enraged but let it go for the time.

After returning to his barracks one night, an unknown infiltrator attacked. Senoske managed to fend him off and killed the man, but suffered a wound. While recovering he recieved a letter that he was being promoted. He had been made Count of Todpitz and was now a Senator. As a Senator, Senoske was an extreme right winger, wholeheartedly opposing anything he saw as untraditional. Then he ran into his rival from his time in the third division, Himo Musou. After sometime however, the two buried the hatchet and became friends. Then one night while in attendance at a party, Senoske was promoted to High Marshal after the old one had died, and Duke of Hatdhes.

Trouble began to brew in Svunnetland and Senoske grew more and more convinced that the senate was poisoning the empire. Then Einar moved the capital from Masahakon to Iposez, throwing the whole empire into chaos with several waves of successions. One of these sucessions was organized by Himo Musou in the neighboring city of Masahakon, forming Nighthelm. Hatdhes joined Nighthelm and Senoske was thrown out of the city by a mob, and he later learned his wife had not survived. Overwhelmed with grief, Senoske joined his friend in Nighthelm.
Senoske's Rise and Fall
Senoske was made High Marshal again and Duke of Hatdhes again. Himo as a ruler didn't do a very good job, but at least he did one thing well, and that was to make his people believe him. Senoske whole heartedly agreed with anything Himo did, until one day foreign pressure grew too great and Himo disappeared. Senoske was elected King and was tasked with digging himself out of a large diplomatic hole. To make matters worse, many blamed Himo's disapperance on Senoske. Senoske cared not though and eventually ended the wars Himo had got Nighthelm into.
So for a time Senoske ruled, letting his arrogance guide him. He was brash, arrogant and didn't hesitate to war with those he fell into disfavour with, spurring his people into a hating frenzy several times. Then one day his world was thrown upside-down... His people were staging a rebellion. Those he had trusted now revolted against him and wanted him dead. The Duke of the capital disbanded all the militia and the rebellion ended quickly. Luckily Senoske had made early impressions on a young man, his friend Artemis, Banker of Nighthelm and Duke of Hathdes. Senoske wrote a letter to Artemis and told him to seceed his city. Thus Rhitallila was born.
Senoske went to Rhitallia in an attempt to atone for what he had done wrong, but the world wanted him dead. The Antoza Commonwealth attacked, claiming to be after its region that had joined Rhitallia, despite the fact Artemis had promised to give it back. Nighthelm attacked as well, and they and the Commonwealth converged on Hatdhes in a battle that will never be forgotten. Nighthelm had decided to use defensive settings, while the Commonwealth was using agressive troop settings. Antoza attacked and Nighthelm defended while Rhitallia stood upon the walls and laughed. After this several more unsucsessful attacks were made and Thraymn was immortalized as the man who tried to ride calvary up the walls. Senoske was made General and Duke once again, but secretly plotted with Thraymn to bring Hatdhes back to Nighthelm in exchange for amnesty. Senoske did and as part of the deal migrated to the East Continent for one month.
On the East Continent, Senoske paid penance daily and spent most of his time in prayer. He joined the realm Avamar and fought the realm known as Fontan. He wound up in prison during his last few days of exile. He did his damndest to break out of prison, breaking out twice and being thrown back in before finally escaping and then leaving back for home.
The New Senoske
Senoske was a new man after his time on the East Continent, and he was welcomed back to Nighthelm. He soon joined a tournament and in doing so met a group known as the Hall of Blood and Battle. Being impressed with them and thier devotion to honor, Senoske joined. It was a monumential step for Senoske. Right after joining Senoske helped escort some of his ~V~ brothers to a newly formed realm known as the Grand Lodge of Lunaria. There was a battle and Senoske and his men managed to evade, and so they watched. Olwe the Bold, a comrade from Rhitallia, fell that day. Senoske watched in horror as he was slain. He was the first one out ont he field to protect his body. No man could stand before Senoske that day, so great was his wrath. Several stories say that Senoske plowed over a horse on his way to Olwe's side. Olwe was not the last loss the Hall of Blood and Battle would face in those terrible wars... Shard was executed and Trenton slain in a similar fashion to Olwe.
The wars raged on for a time and Senoske regained respect in Nighthelm and he was succesfully burying his past and turning over a new leaf. He wrote his beloved uncle Nobdy and told him he should come out of retirement and join the Grand Lodge. However Nobdy became infatuated with the cult known as the Chaos Requiem, and soon Senoske was forced to take up arms against his uncle and his cult. Senoske bested Nobdy in a duel, but could not bring himself to kill Nobdy, instead he shattered the sword Arkenine with his newly found sword Arken. After having the broken sword in his possession for a time, he cast it out and Nobdy found it again and reforged the sword. The south was gripped in a bitter guild war, ~V~ vs the evil Chaos Requiem. Then one day Valius slew Nobdy in a duel, and the Chaos Requiem was broken.
Senoske then for a time sought to open a school, the Brotherhood of the Black Rose, to teach young nobles what it is to be a warrior. It hasn't been very succesful thus far, but hopes are still high. Then one day, Thraymn Astair built a temple in Masahakon, dedicated to the Elder gods. Senoske rose quickly in ranks and soon became a Paladin. Now he rallies the forces of ~V~ and good together in attempt to wipe out the remnants of the Chaos Requiem.

Weapons: Arken and the ~V~ sword of his spirit twin, Cesari Titles: Hero of Myth, Paladin, Thorns of the Black Rose, Marshal of the Army of Hatdhes. Quote: "Passions cant be shackled by laws or mastered with logic. The choice is freedom or death."
