Name: Kareth of Lendria, the Crimson Serpent
Age: 44
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Species: Human
Job/Career: Mercenary Warlord/Evil King
Magic: None
History: "I was born as a peasant. I wish to die as a king."
Kareth was born to peasants near the start of the great Lendrian-Ceranian War, a war which took both his parents' lives. His father was conscripted and died in his first battle when Kareth was eight. At the age of 10, Ceranian raiders sacked his village and killed his mother. Soon after, he was taken in by a Lendrian Knight to replace his recently slain squire. There, Kareth learned the art of war, rising to knighthood and eventually the rank of Knight-Commander. He played a key part in ending the Lendrian-Ceranian War by leading a raiding force across the border, defeating an army twice his size, and tracking down the Ceranian nobleman who led them, killing him along with several hundred Ceranian refugees in "the Battle of the Culvert".
Once the War was over, Kareth, like many other Lendrian career soldiers possessing no skills beyond warcraft, left the nation to join mercenary warbands, meeting varying success. Kareth spent almost twenty years fighting for various mercenary companies, eventually coming to lead a force of his own. He joined in the war of succession in Jevina, where the wealthy regent of the nation had hired many sellsword companies to defend his claim. Unfortunately, the regent was captured and executed soon into the fighting, leaving Kareth and dozens of other mercenary companies without pay. Lacking the gold or the work to feed his men, Kareth prepared to disband his forces, with the likely fate of reforming them as bandits. Before he did, however, he met Adara.
To this day, Kareth couldn't remember if he had come up with the idea on his own or if she had suggested it to him. Kareth started gathering the various mercenary groups and told them of the plan. Facing the same dillemma as Kareth's forces, all the companies agreed to unite under a single banner, one way or another. Pooling their resources, Kareth's new mercenary army marched towards the Kingdom of Scarborough, intent on the throne.
