Henry

Backstory

Henry is a weathered mercenary in his early forties, scarred from a decade of service in petty wars across Valdris's borderlands. Once, he fought for coin and glory—until a contract went wrong and he was blamed for the massacre of a village he'd sworn to protect. Cleared of charges but never of suspicion, he drifted into obscurity, taking only defensive work and guard contracts. The High King's assassination has drawn him back into the game; the Council's gold is good, but Henry's real motive runs deeper. He suspects the same shadow organization that framed him years ago is orchestrating the kingdom's fall. This job is his chance at redemption—or his last stand.
